Fortunately, CGW's DVD does not totally and completely suck like everything else in this miserable games industry of ours. This one little piece of circular plastic that comes inside every January issue of CGW includes pure awesomeness. Don't worry if you lack an actual DVD-ROM drive, you can still plop the disc in and pretend it works. Better still, leave it on your makeshift coffee table so visiting "friends" will know you're rich and powerful and DVD ready and stuff.

The games are
1.Deus Ex :Game of the Year Edition
2.Thief II :The Metal Age
3.Dark Age of Camelot
4.Warlords Battlecry
5.America's Army:Operations

I would be a little more happier if I didn't own most of them already.

At least there's something to look forward to,in the new year.

Hmmm.. Never got to play Thief 2. No real ineterest in the others, though (except for deus ex, which I allready own, of course.)

I also have Thief II but haven't touched it yet. I plan on plowing through it before Thief III comes out.

I'm definetly interested in the pack, if only to get a legitiment copy of Deus Ex and Thief 2.

mycroft · 11-23-2003, 04:41 AM

Yeah.
I ,too, am only interested in Deus Ex and Thief II.But I already have both of them.The rest of the games I couldn't care less about.But since they're free...I'm not complaining.

Warlords Battlecry!!
Incredible!
Hmm, but since I own none of the games, and provided the magazine doesn't get a 500% prizeraise, I'll consider it. If only I knew which magazine we're talking about and if I can get it in Holland...

Still $8.99 USA and $9.99 Canada for an issue off the stands (including this current one with the game DVD), but subscribing is a lot less per issue, of course. To get the CDs all year (and the DVD this time of year), it's $24.97 for one year, and $39.97 for two years.

I got mine last night. This is very cool! I was thinking of buying Deus Ex for myself for Christmas, now I don't have to. And I'll definitely have a look at Warlords Battlecry for free.

I wish our country did that kind of stuff....
We DO have magazine with free games, and one even gives them in DVD cases with manuals!!

But FIVE?! :eek: Woah!
