Yah, Sleeping Dogs would be great give away, but unfortunately we'll have to to wait until Square Enix starts their own free game promotion. (Well, I already I have the original but a free upgrade to the Definitive Edition would be nice). >As a side note here's the link to get BGAE running on modern machines >(this free version is NOT the HD remake that came out for the PS3/360 >but the ancient original PC port, unfortunately) > >http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Beyond_Good_%26_Evil Yah, I had a bit of trouble with flickering textures when I tried out the GOG.com version. It's also interesting to note that after I added Beyond Good and Evil to my UPlay account the client detected the already installed GOG version and is using that rather the downloading is own copy.
