antler 1,254 Posted December 26, 2021 Today's freebie is Control. I bought the Ultimate edition on Steam and thought it was good - if you pick it up on Epic, consider buying the Season Pass to 'upgrade' it to the Ultimate edition 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cclarry 24,234 Posted December 26, 2021 The Talos Principle is on sale for $7.99 and I HIGHLY recommend it! I had it on the PS4....one of the few games I've ever played, as I'm not a "gamer" per se... https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/p/the-talos-principle 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SMH. 🤪 I already have several game launchers/stores installed on my gaming/media PC, including Steam, Origin, Ubisoft, & GOG Galaxy... At least GOG Galaxy is totally optional. GOG games are the only ones that ever touch my DAW PC, sans Galaxy. Of course that way they have no launcher, and no copy protection! No auto updates, and easily removed!

I couldn't believe it was created by the same people that did the Serious Sam series. It seems to be even cheaper now, $4.19 Canuck dollars. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antler 1,254 Posted December 29, 2021 Pretty sure everyone already knows, but I'll mention just in case - when you pick up a freebie it gets added to your library, but you don't have to download/install it. It just means that if at some point in the future you decide you'd like to give it a go, it's already in your library. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what I always do....if it's something I'm interested in I get it...if I never play it...so be it...but it's in my Library should I ever decide to do so! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeGBradford 764 Posted December 29, 2021 My current PC doesn't meet the GPU specs for some of the games so I'm saving those for when I have a new PC in a year or so time! Re GPU - I have a NVIDIA Ge Force GTX 560 Ti but a few of the games I see have a GTX660 stated as a minimum requirement. Is that card a step up from the 560 or just a newer model so my card may work with games that require the 660 spec? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abacab 5,011 Posted December 29, 2021 I have a usable GeForce in my current DAW PC, but I don't want to clutter it up with game files, or the added temptation for distraction. I get enough of that from this forum, LOL! But my old PC is used mainly for infotainment, and is still running Win 7, and has a Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge Four-Core 3.4GHz, 16GB of RAM, and a Geforce GTX 950. Most games from over 5 years ago, or earlier, are very playable at 1080P with that setup. There is still quite a good inexpensive (and sometimes free) selection of those older games of the year from years past, especially at GOG. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps more memory too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
