And yeah, I know these $60, AAA titles still have some greed to work through (like $10 DLC for Titanfall that's just three maps), but it's all manageable, and Dota 2 is still the only game to do free to play right.

**[WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for The Flash Season 2, Episode 8] ** - If there's one compliment that can be paid to the braintrust behind **The Flash ** , Arrow and the upcoming Legends of Tomorrow , it's that they aren't afraid of taking on the tasks of universe-building that would frighten off other production teams. It's because of that fact that this week's two-part crossover between their headlining stars begins with full reveal of not one, but three new DC Comics characte...
