EA’s Origin online game distribution service frequently offers classic games from EA’s back catalog free of charge. Today, Origin is offering the PC game Metal of Honor: Pacific Assault free of charge through Origin On The House and you can download and play it right now.
You will need the Origin client and an Origin account to download the game, but both can be obtained free of charge. As with all games offered through On The House, as long as they’re downloaded before the free promotional period concludes, they can always be redownloaded, even if the game is deleted after the free promotion ends.
It’s never clear how long a game will stay free on Origin so take my advice, “Get to downloading!”

Apple just has released an important software update to their catalog of personal handheld devices. The new operating system, iOS 9.3 adds a ton of new security updates to iPhone and iPad devices and a heavily requested new feature called Night Mode.
Do not perform this software update if you cannot remember your iTunes account information. Some devices are requiring that information be reverified after the software update concludes.
It’s unclear how many Apple devices support iOS 9.3 but it’s a good bet if your hardware can run iOS 9, you can perform the update to iOS 9.3. If you previously had the most recent version of iOS 9 installed, the update’s download will likely range between 200-300MB. It can be downloaded and installed through a WiFi connection or by connecting your device to a computer with a recent version of iTunes installed.

We’re two months away from the release of the most anticipated PS4 exclusive game this year, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. To celebrate the game’s release, Sony and Naughty Dog just released the first episode of what looks to be an ongoing look behind the scenes of the game’s development.
Naughty Dog has always been known to include great Behind the Scenes documentaries either with their games (as a bonus unlockable) or as downloadable content on the PlayStation Store. It looks like that tradition will continue with Uncharted 4.
While this episode does show some new footage of the game, just be aware that a lot of it goes into the history of the franchise and the previous games Naughty Dog has developed. Because of that, you’ll likely see a lot of familiar footage of previous games intermixed with new footage from Uncharted 4. Enjoy!
Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is coming May 10th, 2016 exclusively to PS4.
