Free games (Playblink)

[NastoK]

I must say, I find it somewhat strange that I couldn't find a single playblink related topic. So let's get to the point, shall we?

Playblink, an awesome site, similar to steamgifts, but better (in my opinion), is a site where you can enter giveaways to win free games. You can, of course, donate and have better chances, true, and I wholeheartedly advise you in doing so as it's worth it, but even if you can't or won't, you can still get free games.

The way it functions is as follows: there are three types of giveaways - random, mixed, and blink. Random should be obvious. Blink giveaways have you play a minigame lasting 60 seconds, and the person with the highest score at the end wins the game. Mixed giveaways have you play a minigame as well, and the higher your score, the more chances you have at winning a game.

tl;dr

Free is free, as I always say, so, if you're interested, head on to playblink [http://go.playblink.com/NastoK] and do yourself (and me :3 ) a favor and win some free games!

Happy blinking.

EDIT: Oh, right, forgot to mention that Steam is required in order to participate, as the games you win are Steam games.

I think steamgifts its better. Way better chances of winning, also awesome community.

I disagree with the chances being better. On steamgifts, any one giveaway of a game (not DLC) easily gets over a thousand entrants, whereas on playblink it's unusually rare for a giveaway to have than many. And, to top it off, you're not limited to giveaways of games you don't own. Want another copy of Portal 2, to give to a friend? Or maybe trade it? The reason doesn't matter, you can get games you already own, and I think that's a huge plus (though some, if not many, might feel quite the opposite).

As for the community, I wouldn't know, I didn't visit the forums much on steamgift, though it did seem to be thriving. Playblink's forums might not be as active as steamgift's, but let's not lie to ourselves - you're there for the free games.

And ultimately, when choosing between playblink and steamgifts, I say to you, why not choose both?
