If you’re a gamer — or just visit the Cheapskate pages occasionally — you probably know that Epic Games gives away one or more free games each week. This week, Epic is giving away a pair of games that regularly sell for $30 each. First up we’ve got Close to the Sun, a first-person horror title I will not be playing, followed by Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments. You have until April 16 to download them, which adds them to your Epic account forever. Sorry, though: Both games are Windows only.
Want even more free games? Amazon is giving Prime subscribers five free games worth over $100, so be sure to check that out as well. Spoiler alert: One of the titles is a remastered version of Turok, a dinosaur-hunting first-person shooter I remember playing the heck out of back in the day.
Enjoy!
