The Sun's 5 Free Games offer
Just saw an add advertising a free games giveaway, I presume its one game every day. The ones I noticed were Simpsons: Hit and Run, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King and XIII, all for the price of a paper ;)

Someone who works for Blockbuster said they're all either demos or 'special editions' that contain vastly cut down versions of the game.
They're fuming about the Sun's advert saying "£170 of software" cos they reckon they'll get severe grief off customers when they realise they're not full versions.

Still probably worth the price of a paper though.

I've just installed the Simpsons' Hit and Run (courtesy of my dad - I'd sooner stick pins in my eyes than buy the fecking Scum) It is only a demo, or 'special edition for the sun' as they call it :rolleyes :smokin

Yep. People are already kicking off about this.
The "Special Edition worth £19.99" is actually a one level demo that fucks up your PC when you try to uninstall it.

Mondays CD is 12 shitty old games you've never heard of.
Tues, Wed, Thurs have "Special Editions" ie Demos of XIII, Splinter Cell and LOTR.

My brother lent it to me. Quite good fun but seems very structured. do this then do that then do this.

I tried driving into the power plant and it crashed big time.

I'm tempted to buy the full game now, but I don't wanna let those fuckers at the Scum succeed in conning me :smokin
