• Amazon Prime Games - week of Feb 23 2023

    From Spalls Hurgenson@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 23 11:25:20 2023
    I dunno, this change from monthly to weekly games-giveaways by Amazon
    isn't working out for me. I just can't seem to remember to check in
    with them. Well, fortunately, the offers don't expire until a month
    after they're released so even if I skip a week or three, I can still
    get the games.

    Anyway, here's what's on tap so far:

    Week 1: Elder Scrolls 3 GOTY (via GOG)
    Week 2: DKO Divine Knockout (via EPIC)
    Week 3: One Hand Clapping (Amazon)
    Week 4: BATS Bloodsucker Anti-Terror Squad (Amazon)


    So, nothing particularly exciting. Morrowind is always fun, of course,
    but it's an oldie and been given away so often we all probably have
    two or three copies lurking away in various libraries. DKO is an
    online brawler; One Hand Clapping is a platformer that requires you to
    sing into a microphone, and BATS is a metroidvania/shooter. All fine
    games, but fairly niche and limited in scope by virtue of being Indie developed.

    It's hard to get excited enough to remember to log-on to the website
    if this is all they're offering. But I'm paying for the service (God
    how I wish I weren't ;-) so I might as well claim the games.

    Eh, the only one I'd be interested in is Morrowind and I already have it
    from GOG.

    I've done good in this world. Now I'm tired and just want to be a cranky
    dirty old man.

    Now added, all on Amazon.

    Space Crew Legendary Edition
    Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator
    Tunche

    The first two could be ok, and they get positive reviews on Steam, so
    I've claimed them. The last one, just not my type of thing.

    I'd been disappointed so far this month but those two kinda make up for it.
