Free Downloads: Far Cry, Prince of Persia, Rayman, and Ghost Recon

farcry It looks like ad-supported games could be the new way for developers to prevent older games from becoming extinct. Well, at least that’s the route that Ubisoft is taking on four of their popular computer games.

I’ve posted the download links for Far Cry, Ghost Recon, Prince of Persia, and Rayman Raving Rabbids below. Most of them are pretty big downloads (1GB+) so you may want to get them overnight.

From what I’ve been reading the in-game advertising isn’t too noticeable in these particular games, and I wonder how successful they will actually be. We’ve analyzed this type of advertising before, and despite some downfalls it might have I hope more and more companies will be bringing their classic games out of the vault. After all, Rockstar did it with Grand Theft Auto 1 and 2 earlier this year.

If you’ve got some extra bandwidth to burn head on over and download these great games (Ghost Recon seems to be working now and then):

Download Far Cry
Download Ghost Recon
Download Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Download Rayman Raving Rabbids

    Woah…I didn’t see those bright red letters on the page saying U.S. Residents only when I checked before. I think the site may have just added that. At any rate I’ve heard that they are on the torrent networks by now, too.

    Ghost Recon link is bad. I see a reference on the homepage for all of the games except for Ghost Recon…

    You can also download these games through the BitTorrent protocol if you prefer at http://www.gameupdates.org (based in Sweden with another famous site ;) )

    It has been reported that if you patch these games, the in-game advertising disappears.
