Thanks a lot for posting this, downloaded it, cool playing it again. Can't believe it's been six years almost. Damn time passing is a sad thing :cry:

 

Still looks good, though definitely much clunkier than DS3, especially. Isaac is such a badass in DS3, they did a good job in showing how he transformed from mechanic dude to slay fifty monsters an hour dude.

Download Free AAA Computer Games From EA Origin's "On The House"
 

n5pt7v3tqsj11nrqbr3y.png

 

Windows: Electronic Arts has launched a new initiative called "On The House" which lets you download full-version PC games for free.

 

As far as we can tell, there is no catch here. All you need is an EA Origin account and the software installed on your Windows computer (okay, for some, that is the catch). Every month, EA will be giving away a new game to download to your hard drive for free, and the first one on offer is Dead Space, which expires on May 8.

 

There are some great resources for PC games and websites to get fantastic deals, but nothing beats free, right?

Am I the only one that liked DS2 more than the first?

Nope.  The first was very...singular in environments from beginning to end for obvious reasons.  2 had a lot more to it.

 

I haven't finished 3 yet...not as fond of it but don't hate it.  I'll go back to it eventually.

Okay - On the House swapped out the original Dead Space for Plants vs. Zombies (not the reboot, which launches next month, but the Game of the Year Edition).  Kinda sensible, since the reboot (PC) does launch next month.  Juust ad it to your account, and it's yours for keeps.

Title changed

 

Think we'll just keep this topic running for the promotion instead of new posts for 1 game per month.

My idea as well, Andrew G - which is why I posted the changeover in this thread.

 

Besides, I like (and use) both Steam AND Origin.

I think mom might like this, heh.

 

Gotta be better than Candy Crush Saga :huh:

And the requirements are in line with other PopCap games of the period - shockingly light (about the same as Candy Crush Saga, to be honest).

 

Consider the other PopCap titles of the period (the original Bejeweled, Zuma Deluxe, etc.); while they all started on Windows, all have made the trip to mobile unchanged (that includes PvZ, by the way).

 

Garden Warfare (though a port) is the first PopCap title for Windows since Bejeweled 3.

I don't care about requirements, her box is a Llano it's more than capable of any casual games heh.

 

I actually might get her some of the Peggle games and such for her bday.

TheExperiment - that is precisely the point. If you have as little as HD3xxx (below Llano-class graphics by quite a bit) NO PopCap game of that period, and very few later PC titles from PopCap - will slow down whatever.  My GTX550Ti - four years dead - is decided overkill, as is any other GPU of the period, let alone anything newer..

You're not, actually am one of those who thought the series got incrementally better and that DS3 was the most well-rounded of the three. DS2 was great once you figured out the last ten minutes...as in what you were supposed to do. Hope EA decide to make it freeware as well so people who enjoyed Dead Space free can also get DS2 (and DS3 eventually) free and legitimately if they can't afford to purchase them.

 

As for Plants vs. Zombies, nice touch but not for me. I am liking this free stuff from EA. Looks like the Sony Instant Game Collection effect is working.

Yes you read that title right: Battlefield 3 is currently free on Origin

 

I do not know how long this offer will last, but it seems as long as you click the Get It Now button while logged into your Origin account it will be added to your account (I didn't have Origin installed, after installing it was already in my game list).

I guess BF3 is replacing PvZ in June?

My bad, didn't notice a thread for this.....though you may want to update the original post and provide this link: https://www.origin.com/en-us/store/free-games/on-the-house

 

So anyone coming in later without reading the latest posts will have a link to the on-the-house promotion page.

    • Microsoft accidentally replaced Windows 11 startup sound with one from Vista

      By +Peter Alexander London · Posted

      Since win 95 I never used system sound; only the first time to check if the sound card works; after that no annoying click sounds and whistles on every key stroke or every notification. That's why I have my taskbar on top, you'll notice the notification center way sooner at the top right than at the bottom right.

      6000MT/s is the sweet spot for DDR5, so then you would be thinking about cache latency, and again CL30 (or lower) is great but don't take my word for it here is a guide I used on my own system with 64GB Kingston Fury CL36 6000 now running at CL30 https://www.patreon.com/posts/low-effort-rank-77403831
    • Here is a list of Samsung Galaxy watches that won't be supported after September 2025

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Here is a list of Samsung Galaxy watches that won't be supported after September 2025 by Sayan Sen Samsung Gear S3 Samsung has confirmed that support for its Tizen-powered smartwatches will officially end in September 2025. The decision marks the final phase of a gradual wind-down process that began last year and reflects the company’s strategic shift toward its Wear OS–powered devices from its own in-house Tizen. If you recall, the South Korean giant began moving away from it back in 2021. The phase-out started on September 30, 2024, when the Galaxy Store stopped offering paid content for Tizen devices. This was followed by another key deadline on May 31, 2025, when new downloads of free Tizen content were disabled. Finally, by the end of September 2025 later this year, users will no longer be able to re-download any previously purchased content via the Galaxy Store. At the time, Samsung had shared the following timeline in an official "Tizen Watch Service Termination Schedule" notice as it wrote: While Samsung has not specified the list of affected wearable devices that will no longer receive Tizen support after September 2025, the following products are likely to be getting the axe: Galaxy Gear Series Samsung Galaxy Gear (Original model) Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 Samsung Galaxy Gear S2 Samsung Gear S3 Classic Samsung Gear S3 Frontier Galaxy Watch Series (Tizen-based) Samsung Galaxy Watch (First Generation / Galaxy Watch 1) Samsung Galaxy Watch Active Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 Thus, devices launched after the Galaxy Watch3, including the Galaxy Watch4 series and subsequent models, are built on Wear OS and remain unaffected by this transition. On the flip side, Samsung is not planning to switch to Google TV for its TVs, as these still come preloaded with its own Tizen OS, and even offer seven years of support.
