Its not free but "Heat Signature" has been released and I was pleasantly surprised to see the small release discount had it priced at under a tenner.

First game I have bought on release day in literally years.

Fallout is one of those games that just keeps giving... It's beautiful!

These sorts of "freebies" confuse me, sometimes, the way they're worded. Is it "free until" or "free to play until?"

Either way, it's a great game.

I think this one might only be free to play this weekend--I think it would say "Buy for free" rather than "play for free" if that was different. We'll see tomorrow when the "free" version stops working or not, I guess!

I clicked on it but didn't install. it's listed in my Steam Library as 'Game Purchased' same as any other game I've bought.

Same, here. A message came up that seemed to indicate it was just like any other game purchase. We'll see. I hope it is, because that game is awesome! :)

Either way, though, it's usually very cheap to buy. But, getting it for free is a nice bonus. :)

I opened my GeForce Experience control page and was offered a free Shadow of Mordor copy, I have it but maybe other geforce users have it offered too.

Street Racing Syndicate might be free. I am guessing there are a few driving game people.

Hmm... How do you know if you were sent a "coupon?" Where would it show up?

I had a little flashy "new item in your inventory" message, top right in the main menu.

In your Steam inventory. Steam should notify you that you have a new item there, as berth points out.

No flashies... Nothing in inventory from Steam.

It's not like I would have bought it, anyway. :) Civ IV is the Best Civ! (And, it's where my favorite mods are. ;) )

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is free to play on Steam for 2 days.

Ironically the game was criticized for being too short which makes it the perfect time limited title to play if you can free up some time. 8)

While not actually free, if you have Steam Gal Civ 1 or 2 you can upgrade to Gal Civ 3 for under £5 on Steam just now.
