Suffering been freeware for a couple of days now, i guess it going ingame advertising or something which is paying for the game. Alternately you can download suffering from gamershell.com

Yeah, I think so. It has ads instead, and you have to be connected so the game can update them (at least with Rise and Fall).

I'd say just try it out.. :D

Area 51 isn't all that great IMO, I don't recommend it

The Suffering, on the other hand, it kicks arse!

Too bad that they dont tell u the free game arent supported in canada after i Dled and installed full spectrum warrior

Actully a way to get around that is just use the Area 51 v1.0 No cd Crack works like a charm makes it playable and even gets rid of the ads i think just updateing to the offical 1.2 us patch will fix the problem to cuz what i did was downloaded the game applied the 1.0 crack ran the game it worked then i downloaded and installed the 1.2 us patch and then played and it worked just fine so eather way i think would work fine

oh ya i live in canada too

I don't know if anyone else was affected by this but when I downloaded the Area 51 game and installed it I was met with a Virus :confused:.

After deleting whatever it was (thankyou Avast) the game kept spitting out a fatal error.

well i installed and played a little of the suffering (just around 5 minutes) and i like the game. or can tell i will like it. the graphics are dated of course, but well done. and you can toggle between default third person and "first person" mode at the punch of a key. the voice acting also seems good. hope it stays good

ty

getting the suffering now :)

haven't had that problem. although i got it the other day with a game i downloaded from a torrent. a "generic trojan" of some sort. but when i googled for info, said virus / trojan didn't exist :/

so i "healed" the file (AVG) and continued with install. sometimes anti virus is a little over enthusiastic about detecting things that aren't really viruses. it just might look like a "suspicious" file. so the advanced "heuristics" many AV's use these days start setting off bells and whistles for nothing and might even detect a specific "virus" when no virus is there

the file it detected as a virus was prolly a legit one and when avast took care it it deleted a critical file to the game. so you now get the error. because a file is missing

probably
