Maybe you've read about Söldner before, on a forum somewhere or in a review or that bit on Eurogamer. Well now it's free and you can play it and it's wonderful. Skip the multiplayer and jump right into the training missions where the magic happens, all the stories about dodgy AI are true though I've yet to start spawning vehicles on top of each other which I've heard is another great source of entertainment. And that delivery of the game's title when you first get to the menu.

But the real kicker is that there truly is an excellent game in there. I've yet to try the multi-player aspect but even under the wonkiness of single player it shines through. I haven't been able to get anything done the past day and it's even managed to distract me from Deus Ex which takes some doing. The download is only under just under five hundred megabytes which is just small enough to take a punt on. Here's some more convincing, as if you needed it.
