In an attempt to oust Steam as the king of PC digital downloads, Games on Demand is offering a ton of new blockbuster hits, and one oddly free previously released (on Vista Ultimate editions of Windows) puzzle game: Tinker.

“Well met, gaming travellers! I’ve been expecting you. When you’ve worn the red robes of a Game Master, you learn to sense the needs of players. You yearn to learn more of a simpler time, when MMOs were defined by two dimensions. A time when playing online meant playing Ultima Online.

I can transport us back into that realm borne of the imagination of Garriott, if your will is strong enough. Hold the number 1997 in your minds.

Being a big fan of Red Dead Revolver, I jumped at the chance to watch a gameplay demo of the Rockstar’s upcoming Red Dead Redemption when I attended PAX this year.  Despite an impressive inital showing which highlighted a huge open world (even larger than San Andreas), the state of the early build I saw had very little to offer in the way of things to do outside of the mission structure.
