    So is Dead Space: Buy Dead Space PC Game | Download

    I already have all of these games, so I won't bother. But thanks for the heads-up. :thumbsup:

    Not sure how legit Gaming Dragons is, though. Did a little research and it seems really sketchy to me. Unless someone would like to chime in otherwise, I suggest proceeding with caution.

    So far so good. I installed Fallout without a hitch. Fallout 2 I had to disable Windows Smartscreen.

    So how exactly does their system work? I see they have some games which are redeemed on Steam, Origin, and Uplay. But Dead Space and Fallout Collection are not among them. Are they DRM-free?

    Yeh it was a little confusing., The Fallout's are DRM free and work pretty much in the same way GOG does with an installer.
    You''ll get a link to the installer from a confirmation email and they'll give you the validation code in the same email.


    Little update I can't seem to get Fallout 2 working for whatever reason but Fallout works fine.

    Good to know. The website definitely didn't explain it well which made it seem really fishy.

    If it's anything like my copy of Fallout 2 from GOG, it includes sfall and you have to go into ddraw.ini and change it to a supported resolution to be able to run the game. The default resolution is really low.
