Does Amazon require a client in the background like Steam? Never bought a digital game from them.

No, they just give you a key if it's a Steam game, or a downloader if it's DRM free.

Edit: I was only thinking about Steam games at first, but if it's non-Steam, there's a downloader thingie.

PSN is celebrating 20 years of PlayStation with free games on PSV, PS3, and PS4 though today.

Respectively, they are NFS Most Wanted, Mirrors Edge, and PvZ: Garden Warfare.

Get on them, boritos.

Free on GOG:
http://www.gog.com/game/akalabeth_world_of_doom

Quote
Akalabeth: World of Doom, a remarkable piece of gaming history, the grandparent of the computer RPG genre, and a direct predecessor of the landmark Ultima series, is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, as a gift to the world of gaming from Lord British and GOG.com!

In the year 1979, a teenager - born in Cambridge, England and raised in Houston, Texas - summoned upon this world an idea of unfathomable might. This boy, young Richard Garriot, son of a NASA astronaut, employed the power of his imagination with the creative force bestowed upon him by the Apple II personal computer, and brought a fantasy world of his invention to digital life. Akalabeth: World of Doom, one of the very first computer RPG titles, came to existence. This act of creation sparked an eternal flame that's been burning bright in the hearts of gamers ever since. The flame of love for virtual realms populated with heroes and villains, for stories told by the digital campfires, for dungeons filled with shiny loot and repulsive monsters. The flame of love for computer RPGs!

It's way better than 3 for sure. Unfortunately it is riddled with the modern Ubi formula of COLLECT ALL THE THINGS (save your sanity and dont collect all the things).

But it's still a good entry. Sounds better than shittyfest Unity in any case. It should satisfy your Ubi needs.

If you enjoy sailing, yeah. It improved MASSIVELY on AC3, but not being buggy was already a step ahead. The collect-a-thon is too insane though, like Demi said. I 100% the past titles but I burned out on 4 and haven't gone back to sail/get all the stuff.

Magic 2015 + Expansion for $7.95 is a good deal. I can't tell you about the other ones since I have never played them. Granted, Magic 2015 is weaker than previous years. But, if you like Magic, it's worth the asking price and saving $10-20 from getting both in this bundle.
