Give thumb up

In a move that truly shocked me and I think other gamers who have heard about it, the United States Airforce has sponsored Midway, who has in turn given up three of it's games for free:

* The Suffering: Ties That Bind
* Area-51
* Rise & Fall: Civilizations at War

It looks like it's a recruitment ploy for the U.S. Airforce with a link to the Airforce's site, Do Something Amazing. Nevertheless the games are free which should be a nice treat for gamers everywhere.

I thought the US Navy would sponsor it, considering the name. What are those crazy flyboys up to now...a winged version of America's Army? Giving away freebies is nice (ta very much), and thanks Log for letting us know about them. Now to find the story behind the story...this should be good.

I find it that a little amusing that any United States military organization would be sponsoring a company that released a game called "Area 51". Especially since Area 51 is one of the games being given away.

Gotta wonder what they're letting on ;)
