Origin offers free limited access to games, starting with Titanfall

4.3
Titanfall will be free to download and play for 48 hours this weekend as part of Origin's new Game Time service. Unlike Steam's Free Weekend program, Origin is making select games free for a set period of time that starts once you begin playing.

Just to note, that's real-time rather than game time, so the free mech-mashing ends after 48 of your Earth hours. EA also says progress during free access is saved, so if you choose to purchase the game afterward you can pick up where you left off.

Game Time is the latest of a few recent initiatives to bolster Origin. EA introduced On the House to the portal earlier this year, with the service offering permanent freebies that have included Peggle, Dead Space, Battlefield 3 and Plants vs. Zombies.

Good way to increase the sales.

I don't play PC games that often but this does look interesting.

EA can't use this to clean up coming out with Hardline without even finishing BF4. That was a stupid move.

I like all the free games origin has been doing lately maybe EA is trying to clean up there act.

Im not a big fan of limited free games because it take quite a while to download them and then you only get them for a few days. Not work it.

Nice of them to let people try out a game before buying it. I got pretty bored with Titanfall after playing it.

I already have Titanfall so I won't be using the free limited access for it. One cool thing though is that your progress is saved, which I like. If there are other games that they do this with I will probably try them out.

This is cool I'm amazed that they are starting with Titanfall though.
