UK games studio Rebellion is offering one of its best games for free for a limited period, to help distract you during the lockdown.

Evil Genius is a strategy game for PC where you get to build an evil lair and takeover the world Bond baddie style - all the while making sure superspies are dispatched in cruel and, often, hilarious ways.

And, with a sequel in the works, now's the chance to get to grips with the original. Rebellion has even posted a top tips video to help you get started on your path to world domination.
