It wouldn't be too surprising if Bandai Namco remaster all the games in the series so, with that in mind, maybe they're trying to go with a lesser known title after a big one to increase awareness and its chances of being successful.

Also, if they do the popular games first, then no one wil care about the others later on.

That could explain why they've made this choice, but it could easily be incompetence, so who knows.

Good morning, guys. Do you fancy a ...

I wouldn't be too surprised to find out that MSoft is using the Ally X as a test for their Windows desktop fixes and Xbox mode they're talking recently an that are part of another of the articles you posted.

And well, the 3060 seems to be back. At least it's the 12GB model, not the 8GB one.

Guess what:

*** FREE GAME ***

Overcome Your Fears - Caretaker will be free on Steam until the 7th of May... or until they run out of "supplies": https://store.steampowered.com/app/3550490/Overcome_Your_Fears__Caretaker/

I don't think I've said this here, but the flood of free games has become ridiculous in the last year or two. I used to grab practically every free game that didn't require me to create a new account or sometimes even those that did, but now I actually find myself skipping the low-effort games in fear of them having or getting security issues, or perhaps infiltaring people's computers even being the aim of such games. Anything released before AI became a major thing is still probably safe in my eyes, but after that? I'm much more suspicious.

I still appreciate sharing all the free games though. I just wish we still lived in a world where we didn't have to worry about free games.

It's a shit show. A lame and sad one.

Yeah, I'm also a bit selective when it comes to free games, limiting myself to only pick games that I may play one day, not just everything.

My selection is mostly based on the genre (no horror games, for example).

Talking about free games, there's another one!

*** FREE GAME ***

Hogwarts Legacy will be free on the Epic Store until tomorrow, Sunday, May the 3rd: https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/hogwarts-legacy

They already gave it away last December, so this is your chance to grab it if you couldn't do it back then.

Going with the theme, two very short (about hour and half) free game, both with Overwhelmingly Positive rating:

Puzzle platformer Sheepy: A Short Adventure

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1568400/Sheepy_A_Short_Adventure/

and

Point&Click adventure, POCO

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3454610/Poco/

I've played Sheepy and quite enjoyed it, haven;t got around PCOO yet, but I figure I'll play it today or tomorrow.
