EA’s Origin service routinely gives away PC games for free through their On The House promotion.  These games can range from newer titles like Dead Space to classic titles from EA’s back catalog like Wing Commander 3.  Today, it looks like EA is offering the original PC classic game Dungeon Keeper for free through this promotion.

You will need the Origin client and an Origin or EA account to get your copy of Dungeon Keeper but all of that can be obtained free of charge. As usual, any games obtained for free while On The House will remain active forever in your Origin account. However, if you want the game, get it now because there’s no telling how long it will be offered for free.

Kingsglaive Final Fantasy XV Blu-Ray Steelbook Unboxing October 4, 2016

The CG animated feature KINGSGLAIVE: Final Fantasy XV was announced several months ago alongside a slew of new Final Fantasy XV content including the prequel Platinum Demo, the traditionally animated episodic series BROTHERHOOD: Final Fantasy XV, the smartphone game Justice Monsters Five, and more.

While the film had a successful theatrical release back in August, it was so brief and so limited it was nearly impossible for me to go see it while it was being shown.

A Blu-Ray Disc featuring the film is being included with both Final Fantasy XV Retail Collector’s Editions, so I wasn’t interested in getting the normal BD release. However, this steelbook edition of the film includes a special bonus disc featuring an extended cut of the traditionally animated prequel series BROTHERHOOD: Final Fantasy XV, making it a must buy.

Thankfully I knew the film would be getting a standalone release on Blu-Ray Disc, so I decided to wait for that.  Today, that wait ended.  So take a look with me and see just what’s inside the steel box.

Final Fantasy XV is coming out November 29th, 2016 to Xbox One and PS4.

Mythical Pokemon Hoopa Gift Code October 3, 2016

The mythical Pokémon Hoopa cannot be obtained through normal means in any Generation 6 Pokémon game, but it was given away in the US last year at participating McDonald’s for a brief time.  However that promotion ended a while ago and since then the only way to get a Hoopa was by trading it with someone who already had it.

Good news, The Pokémon Company is giving Hoopa away for anyone who missed the McDonald’s promotion.  Just connect your 3DS system to a WiFi hotspot, boot your game and input the code below from the “use a code” option in the game’s gift menu:

2016HOOPA

If you want Hoopa then you should get this code as soon as possible. The download code will work until October 9th.

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire are out now on the 3DS platform.
