G reat! I like free games! But on second thought I
W on't claim this copy, since I own
3 copies of the game already , albeit in
3 different formats (Steam, CD-ROM, Origin). Except
- this is something I just remembered - I also have it on
X Box too (or was it the XBox360? I forget)
S o I guess that's four copies. I think I've played this game
7 times, because it's a game I think is really
C ool. But how cool? Well, let me tell you
- and don't be shocked - but any game where you can
P ound space-zombies into gibs with your
R obust space-boots is instantly and definitively a
G reat game; that's just science!
E verything about this game is awesome
- and I mean everything: from its
C haracters to its world building to the
D iablic cast of monstrosities to the way you
K ill them in all sorts of
G ory ways is just so much fun
- especially the gruesome death sequences.
5 out of 5 stars, definitely would play again
Y ou should try it too, no
Q uestion about it. And if you are
E xceptionally observant, you'll see how you can. ;-)

I'm not sure which one this is, I didn't want to try claiming either. I have
or had Dawn of War I think, or was it II? Physical copy, but with my move
I had to throw everything I could away and physical game copies just
weren't worth anything, I couldn't even give them away.

The keys arefor "Dead Space 2", both available via Origin. As
mentioned, I already own a copy, so when a key was offered on Amazon
Prime, I had no use for it. I assume the same is true in rms' case.

It's definitely a game worth playing; it's a solid action-horror title
with good visuals, characters, and setting. Unless you don't like
horror titles, it's definitely one to add to your library. Seeing as
there are two keys on offer (or were, no way of knowing if either key
was claimed), here's an excellent opportunity to try the game out for
yourself.

The worst that can happen is that you end up with a game in your
Origin library that you never play, after all... and who really looks
at their Origin library anyway? ;-)

(On reflection, both rms and I may have been a bit too clever in
hiding our keys from the bots. We probably should have been more
straight forward)

DS1 & 2 are classics in the action-adventure genre, must-plays imho.

Ah, didn't realize this was from Prime, I've got that and picked up the game
there now.
