Free Steam Game Is Yours To Keep--But Hurry, It Goes Away Soon

Anyone looking for a new PC game to play is in luck right now. Humble is giving away a free copy of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine to anyone who signs up for the Humble Bundle newsletter. The The only catch is that you have to do it fast--the offer goes away September 1 at 10 AM PT (1 PM ET).

If you secure your copy before the deal ends, you'll receive an email with a Steam code you can redeem to add the game to your library. Note that you have to redeem it before September 15 for the code to work. Once you do, though, the game is your to keep forever, even if you unsubscribe from the newsletter. (And don't worry if you're already subscribed; you can still get the game for free).

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is a third-person shooter from 2011 that's set in the tabletop game's apocalyptic distant future. You play as an Ultramarine, a super soldier whose job is to blast, chainsaw, and generally eviscerate hordes of Ork enemies.

The game received a 7/10 in GameSpot's Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine review. While critic Kevin VanOrd appreciated the game's setting and combat, he found the scale and set pieces lacking compared to some of the competition.

"In fact," he wrote, "it's the 'Warhammer' part that Space Marine does best. You get to don the famous armor and fend off the forces of Chaos, bolter and chainsaw in hand, on battlefields where rusted structures puncture the clouded orange sky. If only the game had done more than send endless waves of Orks and daemons toward the dangerous end of your meltagun."

In any case, if you passed up the game before, you won't find a better time to add it to your collection than now.

The Humble Bundle newsletter you have to sign up for regularly lets you know what kinds of deals are available at the online retailer. The Humble Store often has killer deals, so you might not want to unsubscribe to this one.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been

After Pitching Dragon Age Musical DLC, David Gaider Is Finally Getting To Make His Musical Game

Dragon Age lead franchise writer David Gaider is making a new and intriguing-looking musical adventure game Chorus . As it turns out, the veteran game developer--who left BioWare years ago--has been thinking about making a musical game for a long time. In an appearance at the GameSpot Theatre today at PAX Aus about his new game and studio, Gaider said he in fact pitched musical DLC for Dragon Age during his time at BioWare. The musical Dragon Age DLC could have taken place inside the metaphysical Dragon Age realm called The Fade, he said. It was a semi-serious, semi-joking pitch, Gaider said, but whatever the case, it never happened. Gaider is now getting to realize that dream. His new game, Chorus, is a musical adventure game where they big story beats play out through song. Gaider is working on Chorus with Summerfall managing director Liam Esler (former Obsidian, Beamdog developer), while prolific voice actress Laura Bailey (Uncharted, Gears of War) is voicing the main character.
