Good find!

Don't you have a Intel based Mac? Unless it as integrated graphics... I suspect these games should play okay. C&C might be playable on the ones with integrated graphics.

Hell, I wouldn't probably be as annoyed if the commercial was even different. But it's the same commercial over and over.

Yea I tried it out too. The McDonalds ad is incentive not to die.

Is it just me or do the graphics in Far Cry suck? Half Life 2 owns the shit out of it.

...If I install Windows. Which I neither want nor need to do. Besides, I've only got about 15GB free, and I don't want to waste it on a separate drive partition...and the only Windows disc I have is Win98 SE.

I downloaded both Prince of Persia and Farcry. Both give me an error message that I have to be in the US to play these games. Great. >_>

Email explained it-
Thank you for downloading one of the promotional PC titles made available for ad-supported freeplay over the Labor Day weekend. The promotion is now closed and it is no longer possible to play the games for free.

Ohh wow incredably lame. I didnt know it was a one weekend event.

...um, wtf? That's the stupidest move ever. I mean, if they wanted to make it a limited promotion, then at least keep it a month or more. But to make us wait an hour to download 3GB of data on a slow server, only to kill the game two days later is ridiculous.

Since I was never able to install it, I don't know if you have to login to play the game after install or not. Do they still work?

Also I had to get it from a torrent coz I was getting 12KB/sec from the website

Yeah, as Skynet pointed out, I posted this already.
