The new album (came out Friday) is fantastic, by the way, more of a modern jazz sound with a lot of homage to his prior work.

Not one his most memorable works but I also liked his track from The Saint soundtrack. Labyrinth was a childhood favorite too, watched it a billion times at least. A legend for sure.

Looks like the instructions there are more correct for getting Bowie's videogame for free!

I tried to get it directly from the Steam appstore, but it didn't have the option to enter the 'omikron' promo code anywhere. You had to first go to Square Enix's website, add it to the cart (I logged in with my Facebook account, so that went fast), you'll get an unlock product key emailed, and then after that you can launch the Steam app, hit Add a Game, enter the code which will finally do the trick.
