Hey, you mshould try out Battlefield Heroes. It’s better in my opinion and it’s free! I’ve got a free spare beta key.

Already downloaded it, but the service is a little weird: The game is instaled on my PC, but I can only start it throught the site, can’t copy my saves, can only play while logged on internet. It creates a rogue “X” drive (I already have a X drive, my Alcohol virtual drive, I had to exchange the letter so the game could work), and it installed on a default weird directory (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Dados de aplicativos\GameTap Web Player\)

Anyways, its an awesome game, if you haven’t played, give it a try, its really worth. I’m thinking about buying it, since all the bugs from his launch was already fixed.

And thanks for the tip, Simon, Gametap was a great discovery! Keep the excelent work!

On the bright side, for you free players, the screwed up situation has caused them to fall behind in pulling free games. So if you get it running, it may last a bit longer. Look for it to show up on the list at the bottom of this post:

Thanks for the heads up. Too bad though.

It’s been downloading for the last 5 hours; now at 1.8GB of 3.4. And it says that it will take at least 5 more hours.

Can hardly wait (I’ve heard that this is a good game), but had to change all of the power settings and screen saver to prevent laptop from hibernating while I carry on with my life.

BTW, makeuseof.com is a great site. I’ve bookmarked more from here than any other site.

Thanks.

Actually, play will be finite. They rotate through free games. Sometimes it lasts a week, sometimes more. You never know.

ps: The service is quite screwed up at the moment. A lot of paying customers (myself included) are having problems with downloading, and playing, various games. Been like this for almost 2 months now (since they switched to web based).

The download is available until the end of the week (at the very least). Play should be infinite.
