This one really takes me back.Valvehas just dropped a free seventh-generation banger for free over onSteam, and I haven’t thought about this one since I was a spotty teenager.
Now, I can’t promise you thatDark Sectoris a good game (even though I bloody loved it as a kid).

It actually has surprisingly decent review scores and both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions earned themselvesa 72/100 on Metacritic- but I reckon the game might have aged a bit since those 13 year old review scores dropped.
However, what I can promise you is this; it’s got a bunch of great goofy and dated cutscenes, the protagonist has a bullet-time glaive you can use to pop people’s heads off, and it’s literally 100% freeon Steam right now.
So, why isDark Sectorcurrently free?
Well, that’s because I sort of lied earlier, as Digital Extremes is probably most famous for this little-known indie game calledWarframe.

Warframeis getting a pretty chunky expansion next month (titledWarframe: 1999) that developers Digital Extremes have been teasing for well over a year and, look, I don’t playWarframebut even I think this looks tight.
The trailerforWarframe: 1999’snew standalone mode gives me some seriousMetal Gear Rising: Revengeancevibes and honestly kinda makes me want to giveWarframea go just to try the new mode out.
In the meantime though, I’ll definitely be snaggingDark Sector. Even if you only boot it up once just to slow-mo homing missile chop a dude’s head off, it’s still worth downloading.
