[Updated] Amazon had Double Fine’s The Cave for free. Lazy 8’s Cogs is still available for free though.

Amazon has a couple of games available for free today that you might want to pick up when you get a minute.

While the main one we are talking about is Double Fine Production’s The Cave, the challenging puzzle game Cogs from Lazy 8 Studios is also available for free as Amazon’s free game of the day.
