    It's time for the next of our biweekly (or is it bimonthly?)*
    announcements about the not-quite-free games available on Amazon Prime Gaming. The middle-of-the-month always has fewer games, and this time
    is no different; we've just a bare handful to add to our libraries.


    * Hypnospace Outlaw (via GOG)
    A point-n-click adventure with retro graphics that has
    you protecting the world wide web circa the early 90s.
    It's... fine. It plays a bit too heavily on the nostalgia
    some people have for that era, and is a bit too dependent
    on Easter eggs and secrets. The gameplay itself is sort of
    bland.

    HYPNOSPACE OUTLAW IS SUCH A GOOD GAME THO, THE INTERCONNECTED STORIES OF
    EACH OF THE CHARACTERS IS FASCINATING AND THE ENTIRE THING IS SO
    CHARMING

    * it's actually, both, or neither, depending. Both are wonderfully
    ambiguous words and can mean either "twice per week/month" or "once
    every second week/month". A better usage would be semi-weekly or just
    "every other week", but if we wanted clarity in our language we
    wouldn't be speaking English. ;-P


    Good ol' english.
