Get Beyond Good and Evil (and others) for free

There’s a mildly insane deal going on at Savapoint at the moment, a shop I’d never heard until today but nonetheless seems legitimate going off a quick bit of Google research. Basically, you can get a bunch of games for free with the £2.99 postage being the only cost. I have no idea what their motive is here (other than that the games are obviously a bit old), but a partial list of games on offer is below the beautiful Beyond Good and Evil image below:

Beyond Good and Evil Free

  • Beyond Good and Evil
  • Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
  • Brothers in Arms: Road To Hill 30
  • Deus Ex
  • Empire Earth
  • Tron 2.0
  • Rainbow Six
  • Civilization: Call to Power II
  • Starsky & Hutch

Now, as anyone who knows me is aware, I think Beyond Good and Evil is an absolutely fantastic game, and most who’ve played it reckon it’s amongst the best games ever made. I personally rank it alongside super-classics like Grim Fandango and Monkey Island, which should be an indication of how much I think of it – unless you’re an uncultured swine.

I seriously can’t recommend enough that you pick up this game. If it takes a free offer tempt you, so be it. Just play the damned thing, preferably on a console with as old-style television (it hides any graphical inadequacies better), but really anything will do. It was released on the Xbox, PlayStation 2, GameCube and PC so there’s not much excuse for not picking it up for one of them. Even if you went into a shop it’d probably cost you about £5.

Check out the free stuff page (includes non-game items), or ideally skip right to the Beyond Good and Evil page. You may also want to read my older post about Beyond Good and Evil.

Going off the shipping page, they go to most European countries but not the US. The postage probably rises slightly for non-UK countries too.

I really must stress that it’s a great game though. If you ever see it knocking around for cheap in a shop, be sure to pick it up. I’m almost certain you won’t be disappointed. :)

I second that. Beyond Good and Evil was awesome and I enjoyed playing every minute of it. The only negative aspect is that it’s pretty short. I hope they will release a sequel someday.

Heh, this reminds me of a time when my friend at University in Manchester bought a load of adult DVDs because, like this offer, you only had to pay for postage. They sent him a ‘random’ selection from their archives - just the disc, no case or anything - and it was pretty much all gay porn.
Of course, the chances of getting burned in such a way should not exist in this case.

Hahaha! That’s excellent.

Yeah, I did a bit of Google research on this and found a few testimonials from people who’ve used Savapoint’s ‘Loyalty Gift’ thingies. It seems that you end up with no box in some cases and just the game itself, so I suspect they’re trying to offload ones that ended up with damaged boxes for some reason or other (I can’t see why else they’d just chuck them away).

I’d personally still recommend you get Beyond Good and Evil either pre-owned or new from any game shop, which is probably about double what you’re paying for the shipping on this thing. But if you’re having trouble finding it or are really cheap, you get the message.

Beyond Good and Evil! Beyond Good and Evil! Beyond Good and Evil! You want it.

It arrived today. It’s the full sealed box; you get everything. To anyone with any qualms about ordering — don’t worry.

Oh and… it doesn’t work properly for me. There is a severe timing bug for the cutscenes (audio & video becomes desynchronised) which is a shame as the game looks like a lot of fun. I googled it and there are various people with the same problem as me; none of the fixes offered were effective, nor did patching have any effect. For buttons you can’t really complain I guess, it’s still worth a go.
