To celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day, the fine folks over at Telltale Games are giving away the first chapter of Tales of Monkey Island for free of the PC. Can’t beat that price, so head on over and grab yourself a copy. It’s today only, so hurry up.
Tales of Monkey Island was one of my favorite adventure games growing up and the series revamp is pretty fun. How can you go wrong with free anyway?
Who doesn’t want free shit, especially when it’s in the form of an awesome game? For you early adopters, if you buy a PSP Go at launch and register the device with Sony between October 1st and October 10th, you’ll a free digital download version of Gran Turismo PSP. That’s the full game, for those of you wondering.
You can expect a lot of happy PSP users who might just go snag the new sexy device when it drops in a little over a month. If you want to get some better info on Gran Turismo PSP, head over and check out our hands on preview from E3.
Gaming for Mac users is getting better and better. Sure, we’re red headed step children in the gaming world, but at least we’re getting recognized. On Tuesday, things will get even better as Quake Live will be available for both Mac and Linux.
The announcement was made by id President Todd Hollenshead during the QuakeCon 2009 press conference and attendees will be able to play the new versions on the show floor. The rest of us will just have to wait a few days for the change to play the browser-based shooter. Free online gaming FTW.

I did a double take when I read a press release a few minutes ago from Activision. If you buy a specially marked copy of Guitar Hero 5 in the month of September, you will get an advanced copy of Guitar Hero Van Halen absolutely free. Holy shit people!
Guitar Hero 5 is dropping September 1st and this one hell of a deal. If you have a desire to get either game, run out to whatever game store you prefer in a few weeks and pick this one. Maybe even pre-order it, if you’re into that kind of thing.
I’m very much looking forward to Guitar Hero 5 with its new feature set, much more than previous iterations of the series. Maybe I’ll even shell out the money for the new drumset, since my Guitar Hero World Tour set has never worked right.
Well folks, The M.G.C. event went off in style last Saturday. I think the pictures will give you a little insight on what to expect at an M.G.C. event near your home town as well. Don’t forget to check out the video too, one of the prizewinners gave Loot Ninja a little shout out.
Here’s a brief rundown of how the events work, and the prizes and giveaways:
Registration opens up at 5:00pm, and it’s basically a free-for-all warm-up period for about two hours, until 7:00pm, which is when the tournaments officially start. Each tournament is laid out on a big dry-erase board, March Madness style. You play your matchup, and the winner moves on to the next round, it’s as simple as that.
Midnight Gaming Championships Summer Tour is kicking off it’s fourth year of events all around the U.S. They have new partners, venues, and games on the tour for 2009. What does this mean to you? Well, friendly competittion, and if you are good enough, free stuff!
The M.G.C. kicked off its fourth annual national gaming tournament on Saturday, June 27 at the Hot Import Nights event in Charlotte, NC. They have a TON of event locations this year, including Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia. Games on the slate for 2009 include Guitar Hero World Tour, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Madden 09 and the Fast and Furious mobile phone game. Seriously?
EA had a rather lengthy beta period for Battlefield Heroes, their browser-based cartoonish Battlefield game. It’s now out of beta and available for you to play for free if you’re a Windows user. No Mac love from EA, even though it’s a browser-based game. For shame.
While the game is free to play, you can buy Battlefunds in the amount of 700 Battlefunds for $5 in real money. You can use the Battlefunds to customize your character with new clothes, experience point boosters, and other goodies. Getting weapons and upgrades will come through playing, so you can’t just buy your way to the top. Kudos on that move, EA.
I’d love to play this, but my everyday machine is a MacBook Pro. Maybe I’ll fire it up once in a while when I’m working on my Windows desktop, but those times are few and far between.
The Saboteur looks like Crackdown meets Nazi’s in Paris. Pre-order and get an in-game dagger. I repeat this is an IN-GAME dagger so all you little kids in east London don’t need to run out and buy this… unless you have something against the Germans. I guess EA learned they shouldn’t distribute real illegal weapons like they did with the Godfather II Brass knuckles debacle. EA really needs to work on their licensing agreements, take a page from George Lucas guys. Hit the jump for a random selection of screens.
Acronyms all over the place here, but it’s well worth it. Valve announced that upcoming the upcoming Survival Pack for Left 4 Dead will be completely FREE on both the Xbox 360 and PC. If you just wet your pants, I’ll let you change.
Ok, now that your pants are dry, it’s time to hear what’s inside. The free DLC will include a new multiplayer game mode, Survival, as well as two complete campaigns for Versus Mode (Death Toll and Dead Air).
I’ve gotten away from L4D recently with other games calling my name, but this DLC will certainly bring me back. What about you? I don’t want to hear any excuses, it’s free.
Who doesn’t like free shit? Put your hands down, people. Everyone does. Sony is giving away a virtual cornucopia of Resistance content later today on the PlayStation Store, so get ready.
A couple of Resistance 2 premium themes with multiple wallpapers each are making their way to a PS3 near you, all for free. Also, every map pack for the original Resistance: Fall of Man will be made available at no charge. If you still have the original and never picked them up, why not grab them and go back in time. Finally, a new trailer for the game is coming out. Bryan Intihar, Insomniac’s Community Manager, says it’s the best one and his favorite for the game. I’ll make my own decision once I see it in HD on my TV later today.
So, PS3 gamers out there, it looks like today will shape up to be a pretty decent update on the PlayStation Store. We’ll have the full details for you later. Stay tuned.
Coming Soon!
