EA's Origin service occasionally offers free games via their On The House offer, and now they're offering Microids' adventure Syberia 2 free of charge, probably to prepare fans for the upcoming Syberia 3.
"Having searched Eastern and Western Europe for a missing heir, Kate Walker finally completed her long and arduous journey, obtaining the signature of Hans Voralberg and closing the automaton factory buyout," the Origin description says. "Mission accomplished? Not for this sophisticated New York lawyer... An unlikely pair, young Kate Walker and old, eccentric Hans Voralberg now set off on a journey together: in search of the last of the fabled Syberian mammoths at the heart of a long and forgotten universe. The surreal quest Hans began alone several years ago will come to a final close as he and Kate face obstacles far more dangerous than ever before, testing their courage and determination."
This may well be worth investing in, especially as it only takes up 1.5GB of memory as well. Is the Syberia series a neglected one?
