Free games

[bob]

Since I come across free games a lot and probably very few people know about them being free, I figure I'll just post them here as I come across them.

This won't include "free" games ala the monthly Playstation Plus or Games with Gold titles or pirated games (and don't even think about posting links to those.) Also won't include mobile games, because I don't care about mobile games. Only actual free ones.

So to start off:

Shadow Warrior is free on Steam. This seems like a 1 day only thing, so go grab it like now or it'll be too late.

And over on Origin you can grab Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault. I don't know how long this lasts. EA seems to have no rhyme or reason as to when they change it.

And Club Ubisoft has Rayman Origins free for the remainder of August

Spoiler for Other:

Darkwood: A recently released, top-down perspective horror themed title from Acid Wizard Studio, provided with no cost with both the reasoning for players who cannot afford its price, and to discourage key distributors. (Note: The webpage linked is directed towards Acid Wizard Studio's story of development, posted upon Imgur. The last image provides a link to download. You will require a BitTorrent client to aquire the files)

Also available as a downloadable .apk for Android users (Note: On the linked webpage, it mentions that it is available upon the "Google Play Store", but to take caution due to possible false uploads).
OFF: A graphically simple role playing adventure game, with a notably gloom theme throughout. Due to the possibilty of unintentionally mentioning too much about the story, I simple suggest to play about with it.

Two questions:
Would titles such as AM2R or Pokémon Uranium be permissed to link towards?
Would BitTorrent magnet links be permissed?

I wouldn't link those as they've both been issued takedown orders. They're easy enough to find for anyone who really wants to play them though.
