The link is between Playfire and Steam. By doing this they are able to track activity in your account such as which games you have played and achievements you have unlocked in games that qualify. The games that qualify change and you can see which ones qualify here. You receive store credit which then transfers over to GMG as part of the Playfire Rewards Beta, and you can then obviously use that store credit to buy games. Now beta is the key word here, because it seems as though many people have issues getting their rewards. That's about it really as far I understand it.

BTW, when you link your account you don't just get the free game. You also get (or are supposed to get) 50 cents store credit and you also get a $5 coupon on a purchase that is $25 and over.

So it depends on whether you're comfortable with letting them track your account. Steam claims that no name or password or anything sensitive is ever shared. But who knows. You can unlink the accounts apparently, but I'm not sure whether the game would stay in your Steam account.

As far as I remember it wasn't that great - decent for a movie tie-in but that doesn't mean much.

That's the trouble with some of these sales. Yes, you may get a game relatively cheap. But more often than not, it's a mediocre game. Problem for me is that I already have such a crazy backlog of GOOD games, the last thing I need is to pile on avg stuff

Sure at release this game was a piece of crap, but I must admit its gone a long way from that.

Yes we can, but that does not help for the game in question, region restriction when you try and check out. :(
