Amazon shared the latest list of video game titles that Prime members can snag for free this month. Members can pick up a code for BioShock 2 Remastered right now, and if you're patient, you can also grab a free copy of Deus Ex GOTY Edition or Super Meat Boy Forever later in January. The cloud-based Amazon Luna gaming service has also shared its current lineup of titles that Prime members can play. Airhead, Guacamelee! 2 Complete, The Magical Mixture Mill, Metro Exodus and Super Meat Boy are in the rotation for that service this month alongside Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition, Fallout New Vegas: Ultimate Edition, Fortnight, LEGO Fortnite, Fortnite Festival, Fortnite Battle Royale, Rocket Racing and Trackmania. Some of Prime Gaming's freebies last for longer than 30 days, so you've also got some time left to pick up a copy of some of the December titles if you haven't already loaded up on those deals.
Epic gives away the entire Bioshock series for free
Bioshock, the action-horror staple that blended RPG elements, solid gunplay, and Randian-inspired horror, is an undisputed gaming classic. Bioshock Infinite took it one step further, adding amazing swashbuckling movement mechanics, incredible supporting characters, and a reality-warping story that pulled no narrative punches. Also, Bioshock 2 was a video game. Following up its impressive Borderlands 3 freebie, the Epic Games Store is giving away the PC version of all three Bioshock games this week. PC gamers can grab Bioshock: The Collection, a bundle of 2007's Bioshock, 2010's Bioshock 2, and 2013's Bioshock Infinite, on the Epic Games Store. Like other Epic freebies, you can keep the games forever once they're claimed with your Epic account.
Bioshock: The Collection, review: Worthy revisit to gaming's most cinematic series
In Hollywood's sudden dash to adapt every video game in existence - Warcraft, Assassin's Creed, Lara Croft - there's been a notable silence from one corner, occupied by 2K Games' towering Bioshock series. Yet, film just seems so unnecessary a medium when it comes to the Bioshock franchise, a strong candidate for the most cinematic piece of gaming ever released; rich in its objectivism-skewering narrative, in its decaying grandeur, in its tense, insidious atmosphere. But, if there's a craving unsatisfied, at least indulge yourself in the recently unleashed Bioshock: The Collection; which renders this cinematic peak in gaming into something even more akin to the epic glamour of the silver screen, bringing together the entire trilogy of games and their respective DLCs. Bioshock - the first installment - is nothing short of jaw-dropping in its carefully remastered new form. Returning now is to experience it entirely anew, to feel the sudden intake of breath as you first break the water's surface after the opening's devastating plane crash and take glimpse of the awaiting vista; the towering flames erupting from the wreckage only to be engulfed by the rich silk of the night, and looming out of the darkness - a lighthouse.
