Free Game: Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars FREE Until October 1st

You can get it here!

I haven't played this yet, I'm downloading it now, but it's supposed to be great. It's an adventure game, like Monkey Island or Day of the Tentacle. It sounds like the plot is fairly conspiracy-oriented which I'm sure will appeal to folks here.

It's only free until 7:51 AM October 1st, so get it now.

GOG.com is a great site where you can get a lot of awesome games, DRM-free and everything is under $10. They have the original Fallout games, Baldur's Gate, Tropico, Dungeon Keeper, Psychonauts and a ton of other great games from the last 20 years.

It is an awesome game. Subtle but good humour, gripping storyline and likeable characters all which are a rarity in today's games.

I would also recommend the sequels and, also by the same dev team, "Beneath a Steel Sky"

Beneath a Steel Sky is also free on GOG.com, but it's always free. You get it automatically when you sign up for an account.

Thanks. Trying it out right now, I hope my computer can handle the graphics.

One person who commented said there are two versions with the d/l- original and directors cut. Which should I choose?

Great game thanks for the find!

I don't know, this is my first time playing through the game. I downloaded both version and played a little of both. In the DC, there's new stuff added to the beginning and, in my opinion, it looks better. It seems like it's also easier, because in addition to hot spots(that is, your cursor changes when you're pointing at something you can interact with) there's blue circles over everything you can interact with.

Just a heads up, there's a problem with the original. When you go to save, the game crashes. A fix for that can be found here: www.gog.com...

Thanks for the info, am d/ling now.

Played the original on PS1 and played the DC on iPod.

They are great games with good stories.

What you could do is make an account and get the game. That means its yours and it'll be on your account page if you ever get a faster internet. You don't need to download it before time is up, just "purchase" it.
The original game is only about 240 MB or so. Still would be a pain on dial-up, but might be doable.
