The deal is legit. Right now I'm trying Far Cry. The ad showed up after the developer credits and before the menu. The ad plays at level load screens. Also, static banners are present in the game menu. Right now all I see are ads from McDonald's. There is no indication that I see so far that this is the usual "adware" in the sense that the copy of Winpatrol that I have installed did not detect any new automatic processes being installed. If and when ads are pressed, the program just minimizes while the browser comes up.

Other than those things it's the usual game of Far Cry.
