Free Steam Keys [currently on hiatus]

[Asininity]

Note: My monitoring of this thread is sporadic at the moment.

One of the inevitable side-effects of purchasing game bundles is that you start drowning in unused game keys. Over the last few years my collection of unused Steam keys has grown tremendously. I've decided to give them away... with a few catches.

- First come first serve
- Minimum of 30 posts
- You have a 2/3 chance of "winning" your chosen key. There's a 1/3 chance you'll get a mystery key, which will generally be a mediocre rated game. Why? There's a bunch in my Steam key inventory and I'm curious about them.
- Post a short (it can be just a few sentences) review of the game you got! Screenshots are a cool plus!
- After you've posted a review start the process all over again!
- If you don't care for the game you got don't sweat it, just put in enough time to come to the conclusion that you don't like it (10-30 minutes) and let us know why! It's helpful information for all of us!

[Moralless]

Thanks for the game Asininity )

Ended up getting - world war III black gold. It's currently DLing and let's just hope the gameplay isn't as outdated as it's graphics )

[Asininity]

Everyone should have their keys. Remember, don't torture yourself too much if you got a bad game! Play a little and take a spin again!

Thanks! The more keys there are the longer it goes!

I am really curious what that game is about just by the title alone.

I look forward to it. Go my lab rats! GO!

That's the evil of it! You don't know whether you've got something horrible or what you wanted until it's too late! It's evil! I'm going to go outside and laugh maniacally at the sky.

SWEET, I actually got AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! for the Awesome! Thanks dude, ill let yall know how it is!

[ApocalypseMaow]

SICK!!! I got growing pains!!! Platform race/puzzle game!

I'll send some codes for games when I get home in the morning.

[DrHubblePhD]

Bioshock 2 please! 

[bueller]

Got Spellforce, will give it a shot when I get home but I've never really been a huge fan of RTS/RPG games so we'll see how it goes.

[Air tree]

Risk of Rain

I've been interested in that one

Weird! You too are lucky. In one of my lists I have my spare keys organized by their rating on Steam. It seems like Growing Pains and Spellforce were incorrectly organized. You have been saved from a potentially far worse fate!

And thank you for your contribution Maow!

[Asininity]

Risk of Rain

I've been interested in that one

My apologies. It appears that the codes for Risk of Rain had to be redeemed during a specific time frame and according to the Humble Bundle that time frame has passed.

[Badwrench]

Ok, WW2: Panzer Claws review.

This game runs at a max of 1024x768 res.  Controls are basic and it may have been fun in 2004 when it came out, but now it is too slow and clumsy feeling. 

21 minutes is all I could take of this one.   

Putting my name back in for Oddworld.  Thanks again Asininity for this awesome experiment. 

[cmadrid]

Bioshock 2 please, I somehow don't have it yet

[Rotaku]

Just got Captain Morgane and the Golden Turtle, GG. Will report back soon

I am really curious what that game is about just by the title alone.

Just got done playing and it wasn't that bad. For some reason the preset language was italian, and i had to do some digging to fix it. Graphics sucks but that's to be expected from a point and click indie game, and the story wasn't too bad either. All in all i'd give it a 6/10 


Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut i'm gonna try and roll again and see if i can and see if i can get dust: an elysian tail because i'm pretty desperate to try it

[Air tree]

No worries about Risk of Rain.

How about "Hitman: Codename 47" instead! I have played blood money and it would be interesting to see where the series started off!

Or I'll get something even more fun and random 

[cmadrid]

Oh wait, I'm still 'flagged' for 2 weeks due to a disputed charge at the end of February, guess I should hold off for now

What a brave soul... I'll run the randomizer on Oddworld and send you a message.

Are you sure?

[mr.squishy]

Looks like I missed it. This looked really cool, I'd like to participate next time!

[Rotaku]

You can still participate!

[cmadrid]

If Bioshock 2 is still here towards the end of the month I'm coming back for it! lol

[Asininity]

At this right it may very well be. I'm using random.org and it has not been very kind to participants.

As Rotaku said, it's still going on!

May's Mysteries: The Secret of Dragonville review: 
Professor Layton clone.  Basic puzzles at the beginning (I only got about 25 minutes in), but I am sure they will get better.  The resolution is not adjustable, so you either play it as standard windowed and lean in real close to do the searching puzzles, or expand to full screen and try to play while looking through a screen covered in vasoline.  I am not a huge puzzle game fan, but will continue with this one in the future.  Would I pay $$ for this?  Nope.  But for free it is a nice change of pace from Diablo.  6/10
One funny side note:  my 4670k/R9 280X combo runs this @2300 fps with dips all the way to 1600. 

Going to throw my name in for Oddworld a third time (fingers crossed). 

[Rotaku]

Just received Kingdom Elemental. I'm in for it this time D:

Oh man that was bad. I seriously could only take 20 minutes and i got off. The tutorial was pretty good but that's it It looks like it was made from the 90's (i don't really know if it was or not) but i also don't really like RPG's that much so that sealed the deal. 5/10 from me

And going for round 3 for dust, (yeah i'm that desperate) and thanks Asininity for doing this!

[HeavyArms]

Insurgency

[noisyturtle]

Risk of Rain

I've been interested in that one

It's a great game.


Can I reroll for Hitman Absolution?

[xredman]

I would like to try Darksiders.
Thanks for the opportunity Asininity!

[naasfu]

I just played half an hour of Deep Dungeons of Doom.  It's a simplified dungeon crawler where you fight monster after monster in time-based battles.  The dungeon settings and bosses seem to be quite varied and interesting.  You can unlock new skills and classes by accomplishing certain achievements (eg, "block X attacks" to unlock a new warrior class ability).  What I really like about this game are the very cool old school graphics, animation and music.

This appears to be a port of a mobile game done in Flash (I think).  Seems like a pretty fun game to play when you just have a couple of minutes to goof off.  I'd recommend trying it out if you can get it for cheap (base price is only $4.99) or in a bundle.

Thanks Asininity for sharing these game keys, and thanks for the fun little event.

Here is the magic user witch that I just unlocked, fighting against the tutorial boss.

[Moralless]

Just finished trying out World War III: Black Gold.

I'm not really into RTS games so this was already up to a bad start but however going into the game and doing the tutorial missions (took about 15mins or so) the game was surprisingly 'meh' and not that bad. The major downside were the controls since this is an RTS game where the majority of stuff is done through the mouse even at the very lowest setting if I were to flick my mouse about half way through the flick the cursor would have already made it to the other side of the screen. I decided to push through the tutorial missions but with the issues with the mouse made me not want to try any of the other missions.

I'm sort of enjoying testing out these crappy games but and if it's ok I'd like to retry for another game: Crimsonland.

[cmadrid]

It is pretty sweet seeing some of these games getting a quick review

[noisyturtle]

Finished Dinner Date in 23 minutes, that is if you could call it a game at all. You play as some contemplative sad sack approaching his 30s who just whines for 20 minutes about how all his friends are more successful and how he's wasted his glory years. This goes on and on while he waits for his date, a 20 year old Japanese school girl apparently, to show up as he continues to lament not being mature and responsible as he gets drunk on the bottle of wine he bought for the date. Eventually nothing is resolved as he decides she isn't showing and he wants to go find his immature friends to hang out with at the bar anyway.

The 'gameplay' consists of you hitting letters on the keyboard a la quicktime event, but in this case with no real purpose or game dynamic other than to waste time while you are waiting for the main character to finish up his ****ty emo internal monologue. 2/10 - would not recommend. The one point is for artistic integrity which I applaud, even if it is self-loathing pretentious over analytic bull****.
