Best Free Games

[The Madman]

I've heard about that, where can I get it?

Here. You may want to look into a graphics pack unless you don't mind staring as ASCII characters all day.

Also this makes me wonder when Mechwarrior 4 will finally be released as freeware.

thanks, but where in gods name will I find a graphics pack? I can't even tell what anything is, let alone know what to do.

It's not an easy game to get into, the visuals aren't pretty and the interface is a complete mess, but once you get into it it's the best damn city/sim/civ/dungeon game out there since Dungeon Keeper and possibly the best ever made.

THIS tutorial is pretty well done and certainly makes learning the game easier than figuring it out on your own or reading a guide, while THIS tileset mod makes the visuals much less obscure and easier to follow. There are also programs that allow you to upload your fortress into a 3D visual so that you can get a better perspective on what you're making. Essential for grand above-ground constructs!

Spoiler: My current fortress, with Mayday Mod

Spoiler: My fortress seen above but now with the VisualFortress program

Yes, I am just using this as an excuse to show off my latest project. Damn I love Dwarf Fortress!

they should re-release it on ps3, 360, wii and stuff, they dont even need to update the graphics, if they could just add new areas and stuff, it would be a day 1 buy. also have offline multiplayer again, Universe would have been great if it had multiplayer...

and it would be even better with free online play.

The graphics are fine even to this day. Universe was disappointing and the lack of offline multiplayer was sad.. Played it a few times, found out you needed live to play and having both is pricey. Went back to the Wii and popped in PSO+ and 4-player fun ensured.

I use MayDay. You can only learn through playing, and it's a struggle.

Also your new best friend.

yeah. they released a new universe (or portable) on the psp, called Portable 2, that I played the demo and it was great and felt it alost returned to the old version (even has all the old areas in it!), and has local and online, online which is free... but they havent decided on a NA or any other country release date, so far it only released in japan... >.<

Wolfenstien: Enemy Territory. Now THAT was fun. Only shitty thing was that an engineer could complete a round because they had everything you needed. Dynamite. Pliers. The whole 9 yards. But the people on the servers were awesome. They all played different characters and stuff and they loved to cooparate with one another.

So It might not have been the best free game, but probably the best free game experiance for me.

Most of the Aussie servers are gone now, so I stopped playing it =(

I pray for a DS release as well for the west(as well as the psp). PSzero was pretty good too.

I may get mocked for this, but I do love MapleStory

I just started playing cave story, that's really fun.

Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst

Do you know of good place to get that game? Because I loved PSO ep 1&2, but I don't have my gamecube anymore...

 

[AizenTheAzure]

Fan of League of Legends myself, its good fun, though a bit rage inducing at times, add me all that play.

Chex Quest.

The best thing to ever come in a box of cereal.

aside from marshmallow flavored leprechaun symbols, you mean

Warrock is good if you have a server in your country.

What do edible pagan icons have against a kid-friendly re-skin of Doom?

 

[Amnestic]

Heroes of Newerth. Lets face it its never getting out of beta anyway

I got an e-mail today saying that they're starting Open Beta in...about 18 hours (at 4pm PST, which is GMT -8 as I recall.)

So they might be closer than you think.
