    First of all i dont know if this thread breaks any rules, sorry if it does,
    second im not sure if people outside of the UK can use it.

    For those of you in the UK I'm sure you know the The Sun newspaper.
    Well today (and only for the weekend i believe) they are offering FREE games.

    Games for gratis! | The Sun |Fun|Gaming

    Follow the link and instructions. Or for those who dont wish too heres the info and codes.

    The downside is you have to install a client similar to Steam from 'Green Man Gaming'. From what I can gather from other forums these are full versions of the game!

    Well Im gunna install the client and download ARMA2, i just redeemed the newspaper code from above, that took me straight to the checkout where I got a real game activation code. Im just seeing if theres anyway to get the game without the client.

    I'll keep you updated.

    Ok another quick update, I believe you need the client to download the game but after that you should be able to delete it and left with a perfectly working copy of ARMA 2!. Im now downloading via the client, 2hrs 30mins left for a 7GB download. I will update after that!

    There is a F2P version, however its lack allot of features (as your link shows) from what i can tell so far and what others are saying this is the FULL version, will ALL the features of the paid for version.

    Once I download these games with those keys I can trade them to get like fear 3 and splinter cell conviction for free?

    Nope , the trade-in value of Arma2 alone is 0.25 pence .. That won't be enough to get you anything
