    Ha! Look at that! You all said it couldn't be done, but look! I'm
    keeping to the schedule! It's been two weeks since the last Prime
    Gaming Post, and look! Here's the next one! And we've got lots of
    games to go over!

    Firstly, Amazon is really pushing its Luna streaming service; it's front-and-center of the website now. You have to SEARCH for the
    stand-alone games now. I'm not going to cover any of the new games on
    Luna (I'll leave that to somebody else since I am not a fan of streaming/cloud-gaming) but there's a bunch.

    Not really much on Luna. All the usual already FTP games like
    Fortnight. Also Fallout 3 & NV, a couple Lego games. The only one that
    looks kind of interesting is

    * Strayed Lights
    Looks like a neon artistic somewhat anime/pixar take on a souls like
    with no dialog. here's the Steam Page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2162020/Strayed_Lights/

    If I weren't neck deep in the ER DLC, I'd give it a try. I may anyway,
    I've got a few weeks if I think of it.


    But there's a good selection of stand-alone games too.

    It seems they've added since you posted:

    * Hitman Absolution (2012, GoG)
    You're a (modern) assassin. Improvisation required and overwhelmingly
    positive on Steam, so probably a good deal if you're into that and you
    didn't have it already. Still better to have it on GoG anyway.

    * Soulstice (via EPIC)

    I'll probably try this at some point.

    Freebies!

    Since I already have both of these games on GOG, here are a couple of freebies that would otherwise go to waste:

    Call of Juarez: J7RFAE3F2ACE47DF7C
    Hitman Absolution: XTEXF1E8661415874C

    No ROT13 applied; it's just the raw codes. An Amazon Prime account os
    not required but a GOG account is. First one to type it into their GOG account gets it.

    (As it can be a bit difficult to find, to use the code: go to GOG.com, log-in, hover your mouse over your username at the top of the screen
    until the drop-down menu appears, then select 'redeem a code')


    Ho-ho-ho!

    Oh that reminds me if someone wants the Legacy games I'll be happy to
    post codes. I refuse to bother making an account there, as they all
    look like shovelware to me.

    Bottom of the barrel shop, all they seem to have is hidden objects games

    Not just for itself. You just get some 'free' games, if my wife didn't
    have Prime for the shipping, I wouldn't miss the free games they've had,
    and certainly wouldn't value it anywhere near what the cost is alone.

    You'd get a lot more value out of either Microsoft's or Sony's monthly
    sub, or humble bundles.

    Luna might be good for streaming games on a sub-par laptop or something,
    but unfortunately they charge extra for that other than for Fortnight
    and it's like and the few either underwhelming games, or games that just
    don't work well through it (Batman had a bit too much input lag for the
    quick paced gaming)
