Video Blips

Continue after the break to witness the venerable Company of Heroes becoming free-to-play, a look at the characters and world of Ninety-Nine Nights 2, and the point-and-click adventures of Secret Files: Tunguska.

 

• Relive the brutality of World War 2's Western Front when Company of Heroes becomes a free title this September. While the trailer might induce a few stifled yawns, a free game is mighty difficult to pass up. [GameVideos]


• This short description of the characters in Ninety-Nine Nights 2 is somewhat enlightening. Let's see, hordes of weak minions versus a superhuman warrior…how's that going to turn out?


• Explore the mysteries of Siberia in Secret Files: Tunguska. Afterwards, promptly ask yourself just what the hell secret files are doing in such a desolate corner of the world.
