No CAPTCHA for me, just clicked the link, clicked to add it, confirmed it, and done. It sounds like I might have missed out on another free game in not getting the CAPTCHA. ---

> [@Jophiel](#): > > GOG: Hitman Absolution Wow! Hitman is a very good game (assuming you like the genre). There’s actually a lot more to it than just that one game and they all tie together narratively but, for free, this one is certainly worth a try. If you like it you can get lots more (at a cost). Better, it is possible to link them all together so they all play like one game (massive game). ETA: Deceive Inc is also pretty cool if it is the game I think it is (I didn’t check). ---

Some of the reviews suggest the game might be installing spyware on your machine, FYI.
