Either SAGA is doing really bad or the developers are really nice people. Eitherway, FileFront.com is giving away 50,000 retail copies of SAGA (worth $19.95) for free.
For the first time in FileFront history, the Ziff Davis site is offering a full copy of a released game: SAGA, the world’s first collectible MMO RTS. Players have until May 11th to secure one of 50,000 Retail Keys available at http://www.filefront.com. SAGA can normally be purchased for $19.95 from the official SAGA website and at many hobby stores across America.
SAGA uses an innovative collectible revenue model first implemented by the THQ studio Genetic Anomalies in 1997 and now seen in over 120 online collectible games, such as the upcoming EA collectible RTS BattleForge.
SAGA has no subscription fees. Players pay as little or as much as they decide, by purchasing ‘booster packs’ of random troops and spells, which are traded and customized to create the strategic army of choice for each player.
SAGA can be played for free; however, the unregistered free version disables many of the features that players find most attractive in a collectible game. Using the Retail Key from http://www.filefront.com unlocks trading, guilds, espionage and PvP combat.

The fourth episode in the second season, called Chariot of Dogs of Sam and Max has been released on GameTap. It will be released as a separate title on Telltale’s website later today. According to the official site:
After an agonizing four week wait, Sam & Max 204: Chariots of the Dogs is up on GameTap, and will be here on Telltale’s site in one short day. Finally, you’ll get to find out what happened to Bosco! (Or will you…?)
We’ve been bursting with excitement over this episode and can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks. Reviews are already coming out, including an excellent (and spoiler-free) five star review over at Adventure Gamers. AG has only given out a handful of perfect scores in the history of the site, so this is enormously high praise and we’re just giddy over it.
