PCWorld Downloads

Some of you may remember PCWorld offering a download service for games a little while back. You might have blinked and missed it.

It shut down earlier this year (I didn't even notice) but you can still download any games you have purchased.

They ran an offer when they launched giving away sets of 4 games. (I got these at the time). Alpha Protocol now has a key to redeem with Steam if you have it in your account. Other games may also have this now.

For anyone with games in that account it is worth checking out.

I just logged in and its only AP that has a key which can be redeemed in steam.

Just had a look and ironically AP is one of the games where I can't find the activation key - possibly because I've previously installed it off of Dixons Downloads I guess.

I had to send them a ticket for my Steam key

Ta, the other games dont have a steam key which is a shame but AP had. Hmm then again all the pdf said was how to install steam, no key afaik is on the site.

Yep, that is what I had. I sent them a webticket and they added the key to my account. I was then able to add to Steam.

I think if you have any games in your account it is worth logging in from time to time to see if any of them get allocated Steam keys.
