Last time on the "2021 c.s.i.p.g.action Holiday Give-Away":

<insert overly dramatic montage of scenes from earlier episodes>

And now, for the conclusion to the "2021 c.s.i.p.g.action Holiday
Give-Away":

--------------------------

Okay, maybe the resolution to yesterday's cliffhanger ending isn't as
much of a surprise as it should be. I mean, what else am I going to do
in a "Give-Away" post except, you know, give away more games? Because,
yes, that is exactly what I am going to do. Are you ready for the
games? I hope so, 'cause here they come.

Ho-ho-ho! How 'bout some "ELEX". I'll admit, I didn't have much fun
with this one, but that might be more on me than on the game itself;
it's pretty well regarded by other players. Created by the same
developers who produced the "Gothic" games (which I adored), this is
essentially a sci-fi recreation of their earlier masterpieces. For me,
that was actually it's biggest problem; it felt like a throwback that
lacked an identity of its own, but if you've been yearning for some of
that old-school "Gothic" experience, then ELEX is just what you need
because - my gripes aside - it is a solid and satisfying game. But
with 0G 68353 C3r l877 c you can decide for yourself !

And because we need to end this thing with a wholesome, Christmassy
experience, here's "Shark Attack Deathmatch 2", available if you call
mqybw 455 tbwp 5Pl right now! I don't know what to say about this game
that the title doesn't already tell you. There are sharks. It's a
deathmatch game. The sharks attack people. It's a sequel. Look, it's
true; this is not a sophisticated or complicated game. It's Subnautica
if they replaced all that survival nonsense with a bunch of other
people (and sharks!) trying to kill you. That doesn't make it a bad
game; there's a certain pleasure in its simplicity. It's about meeting
up with friends and family for a fun experience, and then it all
exploding into bloody violence. Just like Christmas!

Boom, done. You know, this was fun. I really enjoyed this give-away,
and I hope you guys did too. It's been a rough year, but a little
end-of-year cheer like this always...

(Psssst.)

.... umm, where was I? Oh yes, the end-of-year cheer of these
give-aways always helps end...

(Psssst! Boss!)

....uh, helps end, umm... end the year on an...

(BOSS!)

.... uh, hold on a second. What?!?

(Boss! It's not Christmas yet. That's tomorrow.)

So?

(Twelve days of Christmas ends on Christmas. That's tomorrow.)

What? Are you sure?

(Yeah. I double-checked the calendar and everything. Christmas is
tomorrow.)

Uh.... oh. Shit. Um, sorry. I mean... uh...

So tune in tomorrow for the completely planned and not-at-all
impromptu conclusion to this year's exciting 2021 c.s.i.p.g.action
Holiday Give-Away!

(I'm so fired.)

Have fun, everyone, and keep on gaming!

"Mine." Isn't there another Shark game like this that had a free weekend
years ago? Maybe this it it. I can't remember!

The only one that comes to mind is "ManEater", although I don't
remember if it was ever offered for free. It may have been, since it's
in my library and it's not the sort of game I'd normally buy.

There was also "Jaws: Unleashed" from 2006, although - as it was more
of a single-player experience sold at retail long before freebies
become such an ordinary and expected part of gaming - it is unlikely
you're thinking of that.

Also, there was (presumably) a "Shark Attack Deathmatch 1" at some
point; maybe they gave it away free to hype up "Shark Attack
Deathmatch 2"? Who knows? Not me!
It's good to know that - whatever form your shark fetish takes -
gaming has you covered... so long as that fetish involves gory deaths.
Yay sharks!

Is there any other kind of shark fetish? If there is, I do NOT want to
know about it.

Aw man, I keep almost buying this myself, but Spalls dislike of it keeps

There was a 2d shark mobile game like this I enjoyed quite a bit,
Unfortunately it got to the point of endless grind to advance or
