Aha! You weren't expecting a second post today, were you? You saw the first one, grabbed the games, and said, 'Alright, done with Usenet until tomorrow!' But little did you suspect I'd sneak back in and leave another couple of surprise games! Because isn't that what Christmas is all about? Leaving surprises for other people to find in the middle of the night? (My puppy seems to think that's what it's all about, anyway) Quick, to the games! * Destroyer: The U-Boat Hunter https://store.steampowered.com/app/1272010/Destroyer_The_UBoat_Hunter/ Of all the games you thought I might be giving away this 0PZ25 season, I bet a WWII naval simulator wasn't anywhere on your list! But here it is, and it's quite a good one too,69Y3N reminding me of the salad days of the late 90s and early 2000s when simming was fun and exciting. Depth charge those naughty Krauts when they're deep below and shell them when they dare to surface! No mercy on Christmas!27YGJ * Kingdom Come: Deliverance – Royal Ed https://store.steampowered.com/sub/368776/ You know how I said that, as the holiday give-away progresses, we'll start seeing some of the /good/ games? This is definitely one of those GOOD games. Visually, it's absolutely gorgeous.ZNPMQ It's setting is meticulous. It's gameplay is wonderful (if unforgiving. Play this like its "Skyrim" and you'll die MDF0Y quickly and painfully). Fans of fantasy role-playing games _need_ this in their collection. It's absolutely tremendous. So what's keeping you?QY9XD And with that... we've come to the end of the preliminaries. But tomorrow... tomorrow is the Big Day. We've got lots of games and we're gonna be tossing them out hourly. Tell the kids and grandkids you ain't got time for 'em tomorrow; you gotta keep a watch on Usenet instead. Until then... Ho-ho-ho!
