I have acquired some game keys from Humble for games that I already own. If you haven’t heard about Humble Bundle, you should check them out here! https://www.humblebundle.com/bundles/

I would like to give the keys away here. I will do them consecutively so you can try for the ones you want or skip.

Please only participate in the giveaway if you really want the game (or would like to give it to someone who does).

Concluded giveaways…

~~1. Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition~~

Current giveaway...

  1. Batman: Arkham City - Game of the Year Edition

Future giveaways...

  1. Batman: Arkham Knight Premium Edition
  2. Batman: Arkham Origins
  3. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor GOTY
  4. Middle-Earth: Shadow of War Definitive Edition

Here are the rules:

  • The giveaway will be for ~~3~~ 2 days (ending approximately the same time of day as started).
  • Top-level comments will be your entry. Feel free to reply to top level and start a discussion.
  • Each entry comment should include some sort of genuine reply. Why you want this game, your favorite game, game series, games character, etc. Does not necessarily need to be related to the giveaway game.
  • Please, only enter if you want the game!
  • You can top level comment even if you do not want to enter. Just note in the comment somehow that you DO NOT want to enter.
  • At the end of the two days, a random lemming will be chosen.
  • Key will be sent with secure messenger (Element, Signal), or email if preferred. Not over lemmy messages.

NOTE: I am in North America; I do not know if this means the keys will/will not work in other regions.

Thanks to the mod for allowing this giveaway.

Spread the word and lets get more people participating!

It's nice of you to do these.

I played Arkham Asylum, which I think was the first in the series. I haven't finished it, but it was pretty fun. It did seem like a reasonably good representation of the Bat's style. Is one of the series generally considered the best? This one (Arkham City) looks rather different that the one I played.

City improves on a lot of the batman mechanics and the variety of enemies goes up. I think it's the better of the two.

However, it is a very different game, moving from a metroidvania inspired small locale to a big open world. If you don't like traversing/exploring open worlds you might find it to be a downgrade. If you do, it's a blast and moving around the city is an absolute joy.

I'm mostly through Spider-Man (not the newest one) and traveling the city is my favorite part of the game! In the old PS2 Spiderman it was the same.
