UPDATE: Winners have been selected, so check out below to see if you're among the lucky ones. With less than a week left until Christmas, we have decided to surprise our readers with a giveaway of selected games. Before presenting the 8 titles which are part of Softpedia’s games giveaway, I should mention that you don’t need to register an account or anything like that. All you need to do is post a comment below, in which you mention the top 3 games from the list you would like to have. Be sure to add the reasons why you want those games, because this is how we're going to pick the winners. Make us laugh or wonder really hard and you might just get your wish granted. Don’t forget to fill in your email address before posting your comment and worry not, as it won’t be shown on the website. We only need it to get in touch with winners. I should also mention that all games included in the giveaway are redeemable on Steam with one exception, Frozen Hearth, which has yet to be Greenlit. Winners of this giveaway will be announced on December 27, so make sure to check back later to see if you won something or not. Keep in mind that we have 5 codes to offer for each game, which means that there will be 40 winners! That being said, here are the 8 titles included in this giveaway: Fallen Enchantress is a game we have already reviewed and which we found much better than Elemental. This strategy game developed by Stardock is available for purchase on Steam and promises many hours of pure entertainment. Primordia is one of our favorite adventure games of all time. The folks at Wadjet Eye Games did a great job and if you are into cyberpunk, futuristic, post-apocalyptic adventures, this is the game you want. Fortunately, Primordia has been recently Greenlit and is now available for purchase on Steam. Party of Sin is one of the new indie games released on Steam and offers a Trine-like style of play, only this time you don’t have classes like mage, warrior and rogue – instead, you’ll be playing the seven sins! I should also mention that Party of Sin offers a great co-op mode. Check out our review if you don’t believe me. Waking Mars has been reviewed by the Softpedia Linux team, which found the game original, funny and dramatic at the same time. Developed by Tiger Style, this 2D platformer is up for purchase on Steam as well. Next in line is Deadalic’s Chaos on Deponia adventure game. This is by far one of the funniest games we’ve played, so check out our review for more details. Chaos on Deponia made it on Steam in early November and you can find it here. The folks at Epiphany Games are still struggling to bring their new Frozen Hearth strategy on Steam. They have been asked by Valve to go through their Project Greenlight, so let’s help them a bit by voting for this game here. Until it gets Greenlit, you can find the game on GamersGate. Don’t forget to check out our review as well. Fishlabs’ amazingly popular Galaxy on Fire 2 HD is also included in our giveaway, so if you like strategy, space simulation games we recommend you to give this one a try, you won’t regret it. The game is up for sale on Steam here. Last but not least, Anomaly: Warzone Earth does not need any presentations, as the game has been praised by players and media alike. If by any chance you’re still not familiar with 11 bit studios’ title, head over to our review. Anomaly Warzone Earth has been available for purchase via Steam for quite some time. If any of these 8 games looks tempting to you, simply leave a comment below and, if it’s smart/funny enough, you might win one of them. The competition has ended and here are the lucky commenters who won our games. They've all been notified by email and are asked to check their inboxes or spam folders.

| Comment #1.3 by: Dan on 26 Dec 2012, 15:05 GMT | 1. Anomaly: Warzone Earth - I like challenging strategy games, and since this is the opposite of tower defense game, it should be an interesting experience, who doesn't like crushing enemies
2. Galaxy on Fire 2 HD - I love space, blowing up baddies just adds fun to the awesome experience
3. Waking Mars - Jetpack - 'nuff said. |
| Comment #2 by: razvanab on 20 Dec 2012, 16:39 UTC | reply to this comment | Primordia - Beneath a Steel Sky on steroids
- Foster: Give me an analysis, Joey.
- Joey: It's a standard 30mm steel wrench. And you can keep it away from my nuts.
Elemental: Fallen Enchantress - I hate rts
- WTF i didn't click there omg this game blows
Galaxy on Fire 2 HD - Spaaaace
- Why did Captain Kirk go into the ladies toilet ?
- To boldly go where no man has been before ! |
| Comment #4 by: Lootyhoof on 20 Dec 2012, 17:06 UTC | reply to this comment | I would LOVE to be given Waking Mars. Galaxy on Fire 2 HD and Party of Sin. I rarely get a chance to get new PC games, so this would be great. I'd finally have a use for Steam! :D |
| Comment #5 by: Ostraq on 20 Dec 2012, 17:16 UTC | reply to this comment | first 3 as you asked:
1. Anomaly Warzone Earth
2. Fallen Enchantress
3. Chaos on Deponia |
| Comment #6 by: kamikaze on 20 Dec 2012, 18:08 UTC | reply to this comment | Fallen Enchantress, Galaxy on Fire 2HD, and Anomaly: Warzone Earth would be my selections.
I played the game that Fallen Enchantress evolved from -- Elemental -- a few years ago and was among the few who stuck with it. But not enough so to buy the sequel, due to my concerns of quality. I'd love to give it a chance now.
Galaxy on Fire reminds me of Wing Commander: Privateer, a game I grew up with and deeply loved, and kept playing long after I finished the storyline.
Anomaly: Warzone Earth looks like a fantastic take on tower defense (sorta!) which is starting to evolve in interesting new ways. |
| Comment #7 by: Bob on 20 Dec 2012, 19:05 UTC | reply to this comment | I already own Anomaly: Warzone Earth. A wonderful title that severely taxes my 2008-era PC, and one that I've lost plenty of sleep over. Highly recommended! |
| Comment #8 by: lostprofeta on 20 Dec 2012, 19:28 UTC | reply to this comment | These are my 3 top games from above, which I chose, because for the last 3 years, I've been translating games from English to my language (Hungarian) and these games caught my eye, could be my next projects.
1. Galaxy on Fire 2 HD - Played the 1st on mobile, awesome game
2. Waking Mars - Since Braid, I'm addicted to 2D-platformers and since it's a scifi one, it's a must have for me.
3. Party of Sin - 4 player game on PC? Platformer-puzzle-from-hell? AWESOME. |
| Comment #9 by: achozen on 20 Dec 2012, 20:57 UTC | reply to this comment | lets try my luck if that im going survive after 21 dec

2- Party of Sin
3- Anomaly Warzone Earth Review
I don't know these games but I want to try them because I know that everything from SOFTPEDIA is wonderful and amazing.
Thanks Softpedia . |
| Comment #13 by: zeusz4u on 21 Dec 2012, 21:16 UTC | reply to this comment | First of all, I'd like to wish everyone a merry christmas!
Here is my list of games.
1. Galaxy on Fire HD.
I'm a great fan of Space games... I wish I could live in space. As a child I was dreaming about becoming an astronaut. Here we go... thanks to coumputers and game consoles we can now all become spaceship pilots, we can fight throughout unknown star systems, meet alien races, and even without leaving our houses :) Ultimately this is a great experience for everyone, would love to have this game as a Christmas Gift from Softpedia.
2. Waking mars.
One more game about colonization, but ultimately it's like a retro game from the 90's. How sweet. But one of the best things about it is the fact that this one is really cross-platform: you can have it on Windows, Linux and mac. Now as Steam for Linux is finally available in beta, I could play this game on my linux machine.
3. Anomaly: Warzone Earth.
Another cross-platform indie, available for linux for quite some time now, but it's not yet listed as Linux compatible in Steam, not yet. I look forward to get this title as well, and play it, play it, and play it :) According to description, it's a reverse tower defense taste, which really impressed me in the free trial. This makes me want this game, the full version. The graphics is impressive... really great for an indie title !.
I hope you will pick me as winner for one of these titles above. I always loved softpedia giveaways. you are the best in 2012! |
| Comment #14 by: leroy30 on 21 Dec 2012, 23:24 UTC | reply to this comment | 1) Anomaly: Warzone Earth
Because war on Earth is 'unexpected'. Yeah right. Peace is the real anomaly.
2) Fallen Enchantress
Because it sounds seductive. Why else do men buy things that aren't food.
3) Primordia
Because after my first two options I really had no desire for a third, yet the 'competition' clearly states I must select three titles and explain why I chose those ones. So there you have it, this is why.
Merry Xmas softpedia and happy holidays!

| Comment #15 by: ORAKIO on 23 Dec 2012, 03:37 UTC | reply to this comment | I like Anomaly: Warzone Earth because it reminds me of my home planet. I like Galaxy on Fire 2D because we are part of the galaxy. And finally, I choose Chaos on Deponia because you say it's funny, so I'd like to give it try. |
| Comment #16 by: mihai on 23 Dec 2012, 12:02 UTC | reply to this comment | you said choose 3 top games, but i'm going to choose only one!
Fallen Enchantress, why, it looks great in your review and the name sounds amazing!
Merry Christmas |
| Comment #17 by: starudstx21 on 24 Dec 2012, 06:00 UTC | reply to this comment | Ummm.... I should win cause here in the Caribbean, Santa is a no show... (probably using Apple maps) Not to mention that my steam library needs some love as it's looking sparce right about now (: |

| Comment #22 by: yuppy on 24 Dec 2012, 18:31 UTC | reply to this comment | I would kile to win these games: Waking Mars, Anomaly: Warzone Earth and Chaos on Deponia.
The reason is for Walking Mars: everybody want fly to Mars and visit Martians.
For Anomaly: Warzone Earth reason is who don't want to save our Earth before Alien's attack?
And the last - Chaos on Deponia. I want try this game because i never play game looks like cartoon. And never play adventure game. So let me try this game :) |
| Comment #23 by: Wogim on 25 Dec 2012, 02:15 UTC | reply to this comment | Dear Softpedia,
I wish to get the following games from Softpedia's Santa Claus.
1. Chaos on Deponia
2. Primordia
3. Waking Mars
It'd make me happy again after finding out the Christmas present I gave my parents—money—was used to wrap up bubblegum and thrown in the garbage without them paying much attention to what it was (where I live, presents were opened today). Fortunately the money could be saved, but my heart is still broken.
Merry Christmas and thanks for a great giveaway! |

Galaxy on Fire 2 HD
Waking Mars |
| Comment #26 by: TigerByte on 25 Dec 2012, 14:08 UTC | reply to this comment | Surprise you did but I am always lousy at games but hope to win in the game and hope to win so I can try again and beat the games. |
| Comment #27 by: usernamegoeshere on 25 Dec 2012, 16:18 UTC | reply to this comment | Here goes,
Fallen Enchantress;
From what I've seen from the review, I have to admit, this is one game I wouldn't mind throwing away countless hours of my life on. Although in all honesty, I'm fairly certain my hardware wouldn't be able to support it. So why then would someone like me ask for this game? Well, as embarrassing as this may sound, I am a masochist. The way I see it, you guys at Softpedia could play a cruel prank on me without feeling guilty about it by giving me this game knowing full well I won't be able to play it for the foreseeable future.
Anomaly:War Zone Earth;
I understand this isn't my personal blog but I'm somewhat disappointed with the holiday season this year. I suppose it has to do with the fact that like the year before this, Santa Claus chose not to pay my humble dwelling a visit once again. Sigh. Maybe he has his hands full what with global warming and all or the fact that in this part of the world houses aren't equipped with chimneys. Sigh, can't even tell if I've been a good or bad boy this year.
Galaxy on Fire 2 HD;
Well, to be perfectly honest, I've run out of reasons as to why I should be given this game. Besides, I suspect my post is becoming somewhat of a wall of text and I can imagine anyone taking the trouble to read this comment in its entirety wouldn't be too thrilled about the fact that they've wasted minutes of their life they can never have back. To anyone still reading, kindly accept my sincerest apologies.
Well, since this will be up after Christmas, Happy News Year to everyone I guess. |
| Comment #28 by: Brandon on 25 Dec 2012, 21:53 UTC | reply to this comment | 1. Primordia - So funny story: I recently saw this game was Greenlit on Steam and put it on my wishlist. I'm totally into cyberpunk, futuristic, post-apocalyptic adventures, so if the folks at Wadjet Eye Games did as a great a job as you say, this is totally the game I want. (See what I did there!? :D)
2. Galaxy on Fire 2 HD - Wow. The gameplay looks great, but frankly, I just want to look at the thing. The pics are beautiful. Heck, I only ever tried Eve Online to look at the scenery and experience that beautiful soundtrack. Set a course for the other end of the galaxy right out of the gate. After an hour I finally arrived and got blasted to smithereens... good times, good times... Oh yeah, other reasons for Galaxy on Fire 2 HD... ummmm, pretty please?
3. Frozen Hearth - Oh man, Frozen Hearth, I have been waiting for this game since before I even knew it existed which happened to be today! Ok fine, it's only on the list because I either have or am not particularly interested in the others... but I spoke with Frozen Hearth, and if chosen, it graciously offered to give up its place for either Primordia or Galaxy on Fire 2 HD. Very selfless don't you think? You wouldn't want his sacrifice to go to waste would you? No, of course you wouldn't...... ok, honestly, I just didn't want to be tacky by putting one the other games twice, sooooo I just decided to be creative with the context. I mean, who "talks" to their games? Heh heh *cough* erhm, yeah, um... This is too long, I'll stop now...
Merry Christmas folks :) |
| Comment #29 by: abhi on 26 Dec 2012, 14:47 UTC | reply to this comment | chaos on deponia, party of sin, anomaly |
| Comment #30 by: Hacene on 26 Dec 2012, 19:42 UTC | reply to this comment | J'espère que j'aurai l'occasion d'essayer un ou plusieurs jeux de votre sélection. Merci infiniment à toute l'équipe. |
| Comment #31 by: lrg on 26 Dec 2012, 21:02 UTC | reply to this comment | 1 Fallen Enchantress
2 Waking Mars
3 Primordia
I came to Softpedia to clean my PC
When lo and behold, a giveaway--eight games for free!
I scanned the options and to my delight
These games weren't just half bad, they were more than alright!
My Steam list is long and my moneys are short
But these are some titles that're absolutely my sort
Strategy and discovery and adventures to be had
It's a shame this poem sucks and Krampus says I've been bad |
| Comment #32 by: chucko on 26 Dec 2012, 22:29 UTC | reply to this comment | Waking Mars would be a good one to have ,i have played some of it on another machine and i think it is good. i like the storyline as well as game play. What is That?
Primordian looks like a good try.(I like Adv)
Chaos on Deponia would be good, I need somthing to lighten up my mood, Roger Wilco would really help but thats another decade. With the time travel and a damaged heart to go with it, Yea i need a good laugh! |
| Comment #33 by: Hermanator on 27 Dec 2012, 06:16 UTC | reply to this comment | I like Anomaly: Warzone Earth, Galaxy on Fire 2, and Waking Mars
Because I like Sci-fi games.
More importantly, I like RTS Games. I like the concept of people blowing each others' heads at the same time. I also like the fact that I can control all of them at once. :) |
| Comment #34 by: quailstorm on 27 Dec 2012, 10:53 UTC | reply to this comment | 1. Galaxy on Fire HD: I've played GoF really much on my Sony Ericsson W810, also the 2nd GoF on W810 and N95. I've enjoyed them really much, played through only the first GoF, and approximately I've played 70 hours with the series. On my Nokia N900, even if the android does want to work, it's really hard to game without multitouch, so I would really like to try out, and I think I will play through it.
2. Anomaly Warzone Earth: My friends recommended it, it's a really great strategy game. Also I love RTS genre.
3. Waking Mars seem to be a fun indie platformer. Let's try it out
Also, I don't have a credit card now for online payment, and I'm broke, so this Cristhmas, I was unable to buy gifts and games on Steam...
Have a nice day staff. My Steam profile uses the same name, steamcommunity.com/id/quailstorm/ | |
