Brutal Legends is [free on Humble Bundle](https://www.humblebundle.com/store/brutal-legend) for 48 hours. I do already have a Steam Key, so I guess I’ll mention my ongoing offer, even if no one has seemed interested in it. In other words, if you read this and are sad you missed the deal, PM me. I can help. ---

Aw what… that game blew me away when it was released. I tried to play it again some years ago but if I remember the controls are really wonky. Had trouble getting back in to it. Free and compatible with current OS-s is too good to pass up, though. ---

GOG also has the three Journeyman Project games on sale for half off right now. I loved those games, and I may have to bite. ---

I liked the look and setting of the game. It was a bit buggy though, crashed sometimes. And I found a lot of the battles too difficult. I probably would need to start over and try a different strategy. ---

World in Conflict is 10 years old but was a great strategy game, set up like a RTS but with no base building. Black Flag is widely regarded as the best of Asscreed series, I paid $10 for it not long ago and don’t regret it a bit. ---

Great, I was eyeing Black Flag for a while, but haven’t had enough motivation to pick it up. ---

Black Flag is widely regarded as the best of Asscreed series, I paid $10 for it not long ago and don’t regret it a bit. World in Conflict is an awesome game. The campaign is fun but usually I despise RTS multiplayer. Not so with this game. Hopefully enough people will pick it up now it is free to revitalize the multiplayer side of this game. It really is excellent.
