Maxis Reveals Which Free Games Will Make You Forget About Crappy DRM

March 18, 2013

Free stuff? Did someone say free stuff? The irrational consumer wins again! That's right suckers! You wish you paid $60 for a broken mess and got a game that'll probably only cost $20 when… Alright, this is a sham. I'm only pretending NOT to feel hurt about this whole SimCity thing.

Knowing full well their region neighbors were pissed, Maxis and EA decided to offer a free game download from Origin. With launch woes well behind the game and anyone playing it, this isn't for us. It's for you, the PC gaming elite. Enjoy your free game, no one.

Battlefield 3 (Standard Edition)
Bejeweled 3
Dead Space 3 (Standard Edition)
Mass Effect 3 (Standard Edition)
Medal of Honor Warfighter (Standard Edition)
Need For Speed: Most Wanted (Standard Edition)
Plants vs. Zombies
SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition

I'm going with SimCity. Just for the irony, OK? It's all I have left! Wait… No, that's all cynicism now. For more details on obtaining your free EA game license, head over to the SimCity blog and lay down some forgiveness zones next to the residential.

I attended San Jose State University and graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor's in English and a Minor in Journalism. I've been playing games my whole life and will continue to do so as long as they stay entertaining! Some of my favorite games include Team Fortress 2, Battlefield 3, Star Fox 64, Batman: Arkham City, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Counter-Strike: Source, Super Mario Bros. 3, Kirby's Dream Land, and the list goes on.
