Re: free games download

Thats not actually true, the links that winbeta give you from where to download it are is a place where you have got to pay to register to them and it costs.

Re: free games download

I just joined the website, for free.

the thing that worry me is:

Quote:
As always, there is a catch: these three titles are ad-supported, but we were not able to see the ads in-game while using this downloaded client. We’re downloading Prince of Persia and Rayman right now.
Would this be adware? or spyware of some type?

Re: free games download

I think it may have something to do with actual 'ads' in-game. I have read that companies were using billboards and such as places to put ads in actual games. It can be a bit distracting but it doesn't really make a difference.

Re: free games download

I just went to install far cry and before it installs you have to enter your username and password which is the same when you sign up to ubisoft at www.ubi.com and i had to change my country to US to get past the username and password part.

Just an update

Re: free games download

I downloaded far cry, I like the single player so far. About what I expected out of a 2004 game, graphics wise. You can't play multiplayer without a cd key.

I've only saw a few ads so far in the game. Most of the time I don't see any at all and never while I'm playing.
