What's the best Free Game

[Z of the Na'vi]

League of Legends is probably one of the best free-to-play video games I have ever played. Although they are partially run by micro-transactions, which are optional, the core game itself is free.

I should actually start playing that game again. It's been months for me.

the Submachine [http://submachine.blogspot.com/] series. Where you wake up and have to do your pointy and clicky puzzles in a fantasic atmosphere with a nice sotry. You should totally play it.

Echo Bazaar, just brilliant. It got the site's award for best Browser game for a very good reason.

DDO is a great MMO. League of Legends is a great MOBA. S4 League is a great shooter. MicroVolts is also shaping up to be a good shooter(a game filled with scantily clad anime figurines shooting eachother? FINALLY).

Spelunky!
Super Crate Box
Cave Story
Grand Theft Auto & Grand Theft Auto 2
The Dark Mod -- A free total conversion mod for Doom 3

IWBTG
Yahtzee's adventure games -- Five days especially

Yahtzee's adventure games -- Five days especially

Am I total panzy for the fact that 5 days scared the hell out of me and I haven't brought myself to play 7 days or 6 days yet?



On a related note: best free games I know of that have not yet been mentioned,
Battle for Wesnoth (If you like TBS games, why have you not played this yet?)
Armegatron Advanced (Seriously, Tron lightcycle racing. With multi-player. Let me say that again. Tron Lightcycle racing. With. multi-effing-player)

But I'll also re-iterate Spelunky, Cave Story, League of Legends, and Echo Bazaar.

not completely free since you have to have warcraft 3/Frozen Throne but dota ate away hours and hours, and hours of my life lol.
oh and i bought ff7, but i left my ps1 at my parents. so i got an emulator and downloaded ff7 on it... so that was free too i guess .
don't flame me i already had it bought!!! >

I've got to say that I, personally, really don't like DDO that much.

But there are TONS of free games that are easily better than a lot of $50-$60 games I can think of. Personally, I have to recommend Crush the Castle One or Two.

I'm partial to League of Legends and Spelunky.
oh.
I forgot.
N. yea definitely that game.

this all the way. Also flash games. It seems like PC gamers forget that these exist at times.

i WISH i could forget they existed... newgrounds.com has scarred me forever.

OT: Besides Runescape, i have NEVER had any good "free" game experiences. and i wish every day that someone would prove me wrong

 

[Piperlyon]

well then, you REALLY have to play some games like Crush the Castle.

armorgames.com is my suggestion.

 

[Azaraxzealot]

Dwarf fortress. It is better (and funner) then many games that cost around 40 USD.

i have a certain eye condition that gives me a HORRIBLE headache when i look at dwarf fortress, i think, because the way it looks with all the small characters and such kills my head

armorgames.com is my suggestion.

meh. i was done with it in under 20 minutes with gold stars on all levels (or was that that other game on adultswim?) then i lost all interest

 

[stygN]

I don't know.. Perhaps I should mention Savage 2?

It's a FPS and a RTS! One player on the team builds buildings and manage resources, while the other players fight! It's very fun.

Flows well, lots of different ways of playing it, lots of tactics..

The graphics was pretty good actually, nothing wrong about it..

I'd say it was original, because I've never seen anything like it before or since!

I remember playing Madness Interactive for HOURS on end, helped by the load of mods it recieved.

Best though? Infeconator! World Domination.
