Continuing their occasional offering of free games. Electronic Arts’ Origin service has put the ultra-classic PC title Syndicate on offer for free for a limited (but potentially lengthy) time.

If you have moral or philosophical objections to Origin itself, so be it, but you’re missing out on a choice piece of computer gaming history.
