Not kidding when I say that this was one of my favourite games, ever. I finished it with all three characters when normally I'm a one and done player. I raved about this and lent it to a guy at work but his rig couldn't handle it I wonder what those specs looked like?

The random free game (for an indeterminate amount of time) is Dungeon Keeper. I remember playing the ever-loving HELL out of this when it originally came out. Can't believe it's been almost 20 years!

EA's pay-for service .. Origin-Access .. is FREE until June 20th
DSOgaming gives some advice on how to NOT get charged for taking part in this TRIAL
the list:Electronic Arts is offering Origin Access completely free to all PC gamers until June 20th. During this period, PC gamers can play for free a number of games published by EA, such as FIFA 17, Titanfall, Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst, Star Wars: Battlefront, Battlefield 4, Crysis 3, Need for Speed, Dragon Age: Inquisition and more.
the warning:
As EA noted, your first 7 days are FREE if you sign up before June 19. After your trial ends you’ll be charged monthly or yearly, depending on the plan you choose. However, and in order to enjoy this trial for free, you can cancel anytime during your 7-day trial and you won’t be charged.
We strongly suggest being cautious if you have ever used Origin Access before as you might get charged. As such, it’s worth creating a new account in order to avoid any possible issues.

Re: Origin's On The House - Monthly Free Game
These are useless freebies when you dont own the base games. All it is is a bait to buy the base game. Kinda shitty of them to release this for a 13 year old game. Unless its the 2015 one which I see no info on. Same name and all..which I hate.

Re: Origin's On The House - Monthly Free Game
13 year old games didn't have season passes. They have only been around about six years. In fact, I don't believe I had ever seen paid DLC on the PC 13 years ago. It essentially didn't exist before Steam, and the first time I recall seeing it was Oblivion.

Re: Origin's On The House - Monthly Free Game
GiantBomb - Season Pass
This business model was first seen in 2011, with L.A. Noire's "Rockstar Pass," which granted access to four new missions, two new outfits, and a "badge pursuit" challenge mode. The price for buying all of this content individually is $20, but the pass originally sold for $10 (a limited-time offer; the price was later raised to $12). Around that same time in 2011, Mortal Kombat also offered a season pass for it's downloadable fighters.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

Re: Origin's On The House - Monthly Free Game
Why in the world is it called "Season's Pass"? What a strange term to use IMO, for game content. I know what the term means (my family has a season's pass to the local zoo, for instance, and we can get in for "free" anytime during the year/season).
But in game terms, you are just buying a specified amount of DLC, it's not like an unlimited a la carte sitiuation, is it? Maybe I'm missing something. Or maybe there are games that have an existing amount of DLC's, and if you buy a season's pass, you will get everything else that's published in the future (in addition to what is currently available)?

Re: Origin's On The House - Monthly Free Game
Going off of the article earlier, the first one was called a Rockstar Pass. Perhaps it was popular enough that other companies kept the terminology for the sake of recognition.
Although I do seem to recall some season passes actually referring to a time period or phase. First season pass got you the first three DLC, the next two were on a separate season pass, etc.

Re: Origin's On The House - Monthly Free Game
I think my problem (I can be quite the word nerd) is that I can't think of any context in PC gaming, where a "season" is used, but again, could just be ignorance. "Season" is pretty specific, so something more abstract like "Rockstar Pass" makes a hell of of a lot more sense to me. "Season tickets/pass" makes sense in sports, for example, but not gaming. I know. I'm weird.
I'm the same guy that brought up the "why does everyone start sentences with "so", now?! WTF?!"
