Uncle Tully's Funland map will soon be playable in Crossfire mode in Monday Night Combat, along with a number of new features, not least the addition of a giant chicken. You can shoot the bird until it flies away to earn your team a useful health boost. When it lands, you can jump on and ride the armoured cock for bonus money. The update also adds new bot spawners and more. For the full details, check out the Monday Night Combat site.

Observe, if you will, our Facebook page. As of this writing, we count 92,271 intrepid souls among our fans--a number that grows, inexorably, with every passing day. Our forces grow stronger even as I write this, and when we top 100,000 fans, our army shall be unstoppable.

In order to hasten the advancement of our forces and to reward the courageous and forward-thinking fans who have made us the number one source of news in the whole world devoted exclusively to the great wonder that is PC gaming, I, Logan Decker, decree that we shall give away 100 games this week. That’s 20 per day, in a different genre each day, every day of the week through Friday.



In order to declare yourself eligible for the daily giveaways we'll be hosting all week-long, all I ask of such a heroic and sagacious people is that you “like” the PC Gamer Facebook page (in the unlikely event that you haven’t already), and then “like” the daily post announcing the games that we’ll be giving away that day. “Liking” that post will automatically enter you in that day's drawing. Winners will be drawn at random at 5pm PST and announced the following morning.

(If your Facebook page is set to private, we won’t be able to contact you with your loot, so it is with a heavy heart that I must declare such entries ineligible for a free game. You may, of course, set your profile to public just for this week.)

For our friends and fans in other regions, I beg your forgiveness for limiting this contest to US residents only, and I give you this pledge: once we have amassed our forces and PC gamers rule the planet from the North Pole to the South Pole, from Newfoundland to Equatorial Guinea, our first task shall be to break free of our chains and abolish the oppressive laws that prevent us from sharing our largesse among all the great members of our community!

I declare that today’s game giveaway shall be in the honorable genre of the first-person shooter. We have 10 download codes for Crysis 2, five for Homefront and five for Monday Night Combat. Winners will receive one of these fine entertainments chosen at random.

I serve you with honor and gratitude. May these free games demonstrate my fealty to you all.

Signed,
Logan Decker

Monday Night Combat will be free this weekend on Steam. This colourful multiplayer arena combat game crosses third-person battling with tower defence games. Each team's base deploys two streams of warriors that meet in the middle of the map. You can build turrets, upgrade your troops and jump in yourself to turn the tide of battle. The trailer below explains everything.

RPS spotted the free weekend, and also note that the game will be on sale for the next few days, with 33% off. You can access the free weekend via Steam. Trailer ahoy!
