Metro 2033 is now free to DL in exchange for a facebook like

I really wish this works out the good way because THQ is one of the few publishers left I can think of without shaking my head in silent disbelief.

Well...they did kinda run Red Faction into the ground...And then there was the wonderful thing known as Homefront...which absolutely tanked in spectacular fashion. So it's not as if they haven't ruined some of their own IP's : /

I'm a bit of an "IP biased" on that one because I've not played either of those and the games I've played from THQ have all been absolutely brilliant without draconian schemes surrounding them. :P

Red Faction and Homefront weren't brilliant, there's no getting round that. But I have to agree that a lot of other games from THQ have been absolutely amazing, and a few of them rank in some of my all time favourites. I love all of the 40k games they have done, Dawn of war, Dawn of war 2 and Space marine were all solid titles, while they all had their individual flaws, I feel they were all great games on the whole. I also love company of heroes and Darksiders.

THQ are one of the only publishers I can think of that are willing to give new IP's a shot, and I don't believe they've ever engaged in any shitty business practices that I didn't agree with like other publishers I could name, if they have, then I didn't hear about it.

Yeah, despite them running Red Faction into the ground (which makes me sad, because I still remember the first one blowing my damn mind with destructible environments) and flubs like Homefront/Udraw (lolUdraw), I quite like THQ. They've been a pretty decent group of guys overall, they've just made some horrible, horrible decisions. Part of this is motivated by my near fanatical love of Saints Row 3 and my thorough enjoyment of DoW 40k.

I don't understand these kinds of people, free stuff is being given and they still whine

It's not free. You do understand what Facebook does with your information, right?

There's no obligation to use real details with facebook. If you're concerned about that, have a dummy account with a throwaway name and email address just for promotions like this.

Yeah. THQ has several hits and misses, but I can't fault them for their willingness to try new IPs. Space Marine was pretty much a rehash of Gears of War combined with War40k. Darksiders was some kind of weird Zelda/God of War hybrid. Dawn of War has always been a decent RTS playing second fiddle to Starcraft, and I've gotta admit Saints Row 3 was pretty great.

Avoid any Red Faction game, though. Even the first one was pretty bad, and the sequels haven't been any better.

Frankly, I'm not even going to turn NoScript off to even be able to use any part of Facebook. There are fly by night free porn websites I would trust before trusting Facebook.

When i click the Link all i get is directed to Facebook home page. I went to the Facebook page by typing it in Facebook search and find no mention of a free game code. Is this US only?
Ty.

[LolretKJ]

Haven't played it yet, but I just got done downloading. Looks like its going to be a fun game.

[Lassira]

Am I the only one that would rather pay than use facebook?

[Blivy]

I did a Google search and found it. Should of done that prior to posting in this. Either way thank you for the find. A free game is a free game. Using Facebook doesn't bother me, when in reality it would truly shock you just how much companies already know about you.

[ParanoiD84]

Great game, not so good optimization and controlls though imo, but the story and atmosphere is very good.

This one, they have a link to the correct page in a post on the top of the page at the moment.

Hmm the link doesn't seem to be working - try this http://www.facebook.com/MetroVideoGa...95840630491782

If it just takes you to facebook, type "Metro 2033 free" in the search and it'll come up as an App page.

Wow you so hardcore, just create an acc and never use it again, was it that hard?

THQ is giving away games for free before it dies, as a gesture of goodwill.

RIP THQ.

The free giveaway ends on the 16th, you saying they die then?
