Don't ever claim the USAF didn't give you anything.

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

Don't ever claim the USAF didn't give you anything.

So apparently the United States Air Force likes us enough to give us free games. Not necessarily great games, but free nonetheless. I figure it's a good thing.

Here's what you can get:

The Suffering: Ties that Bind
Area 51
Rise & Fall: Civilizations At War

Note that they are ad-supported, so expect ads at the load screens and probably elsewhere. I heard Suffering was good.

The Suffering perhaps, but that's the sequel, which I've heard was mediocre. Eh, still gonna play it, so I suppose I'll reserve judgment.

Honestly, I don't mind if they've thrown in recruitment ads on loading screens, or even if they edit in posters in the game. Wasting aliens while someone's trying to get me to join up? I actually find that kinda funny...

Maybe they know of an imminent alien assault, and they're trying to recruit those of us experienced at killing martians?

Awww man, I saw Area 51 and thought "Awesome!" but then I read the blurb and realized it didn't involve shooting at digitized characters as you travel through a military base overrun with aliens, while your teammates randomly pop up to cost you a life.
