It&rsquo;s human nature to like free stuff &#8211; we&rsquo;ll claw each other&rsquo;s eyes out for a free t-shirt two sizes too small.<\/p>\n<p>We&rsquo;re often lured into the promise of free entertainment by games running a &ldquo;free-to-play&rdquo; business model, which invariably leads us (if we like the game) to spend more on it than we would have buying it retail anyway.<\/p>\n<p>The idea then of a truly free game is just a pipedream then, isn&rsquo;t it? Nope. Stealth Bastard, a fully featured stealth platform game is now available for download, and it won&rsquo;t cost you a thing (except some exorbitant Telkom bandwidth rates).<\/p>\n<p>If you liked Metal Gear Solid or Super Meat Boy (and who didn&rsquo;t like at least one of those), you&rsquo;ll love Stealth Bastard, described by the developer as &ldquo;like Metal Gear Solid and Super Meat Boy had a baby out of wedlock&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<p>It also comes with additional goodies, such as a level editor, leaderboards and a rating system. Not a bad deal for, well, nothing. Check out the trailer below if you&rsquo;re still not convinced.<\/p>\n<p>You can dowload the game from the <a href=\"http:\/\/stealthbastard.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Stealth Bastard\">official Stealth Bastard website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/z1dLNLji5n0?version=3&amp;hl=en_US\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/z1dLNLji5n0?version=3&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Source: <a href=\" http:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/2011\/11\/05\/stealth-bastard-is-metal-gear-meets-meat-boy-completely-free\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"PC Gamer\">PC Gamer<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/20223-Stealth-Bastard-free-game-now-available\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Stealth Bastard now available - for free\">Stealth Bastard now available &#8211; for free<\/a><\/strong> &lt;&lt; Comments and views<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Think Super Meat Boy meets Metal Gear Solid<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":165,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15355","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15355","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/165"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15355"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15355\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15355"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15355"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15355"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
