The catch is the game, Left Behind: Eternal Forces, is a game based on the Left Behind book series that I’ve never read, and you have to pay $5 or so shipping, given on whether you get the direct download or the hard copy version. The first 1 million are free after shipping, so check out the deal over at Joystiq.
Left Behind is essentially the story of all the people left behind after the Biblical apocalypse, which has proven to be a wildly popular book series. That’s about all I know about it, since I was never really interested in reading the books. I know other people who have, and apparently they’re pretty good, so maybe one day I’ll get around to checking them out. But a free game? I’ll check that out all day long!
I just hope i don’t end up on any more mailing lists because of my inability to resist real-time strategy games of any sort. Have any of you played this game out there in Internet land? Did I just waste $5 because Kotaku and Wired said the game was actually good?
But is the game any good?
Left Behind Games has had my email address since I got the game when it first came out and I've never gotten any unwanted email.
