I see dragonage in there, mass effect 2. Those are good games, in case you havent got it yet.

I got Dragon age, i thought Mass effect wasn't that good "according to some posts that i saw somewhere online a while back"

Excuse my ignorance. But how do you exactly try and get a game out of these guys if you purchased APB? Simply call or submit a support ticket?

I emailed them and they replied me with the following:

ABP closed down its servers a few says ago so I think they are giving out a free EA game to compensate for the money they lost on ABP.

I think the best deal you can get out of this value wise, is

Mass Effect™ 2 Digital Deluxe Edition

which is about £45 ~55$

Lobotomist

Battlefield Bad company 2 <- Best competitive FPS shooter on PC

Or if you dont like FPS and prefer rpg

Dragon Age

 

Both of them are must have.

VirusDancer

UO:SA w/30 days looks tempting.
