Free games?

[Tola]

Seems everywhere you look everyone's advertising 'Free to play' games of various sorts.

I'm looking for recommendations. Which ones did you enjoy?

Billy versus Snakeman is a fun and addicting free mmo. you get stamina everyday and work your way up the ninja ladder and through seasons with your villiage. Overall its not innovative in mechanics but is fun and funny with its parodies and gameplay.

you'll probebly wanna strangle me later on for getting you addicted and very frustrated about the game, but here: http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/n.html

Star Control 2: The Ur-Quan Masters (http://sc2.sourceforge.net/).

It's a free downloadable game.

Obligatory link to TVTropes (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StarControl), which explains it much better then I can.

Dwarf Fortress (http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/) and Cave Story (http://www.miraigamer.net/cavestory/).

[Dhavaer]

Freeciv (http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page). Basically, Civ 2, but free.

[LBO]

Portal: The Flash Version (http://portal.wecreatestuff.com/) (addictive as hell casual game), Spring (http://spring.clan-sy.com/) (extremely good open-source RTS, requires a bit of tech savvy and joining the community to enjoy it to the full but the results are awesome (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpKqQxTURik).)

NetHack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nethack) is one of the best games ever, a tad on the hard side though.

[Gungnir]

Seconded on Cave Story. Currently trying to get past the Final Final Boss's second form.

Welcome to Hell indeed...

Some of those levels are freaking impossible! I can do quite a few but some are just, so much harder than the rest. Really fun, but I get stuck on some levels, and can not progress any further.

[SurlySeraph]

The Last Stand (http://armorgames.com/play/269/the-last-stand) and it's sequel (http://armorgames.com/play/1443/the-last-stand-2). Yes, they're simple Flash games and therefore probably not what you're looking for. They're still incredibly kickass simple Flash games.

Fallen Sword is a sort of PvP RPG type of thing.

FallenSword RPG - Play online now free! (http://www.fallensword.com/?ref=1639240)

I will freely admit I get stuff in game if you decide to sign up for the game from the above link. Its pretty fun and entertaining.

Seriously, that game hates people. It hates all life. It exists only to eat your time and drive you insane. This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfnYiEmYhIc) review (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji45xVUoWzA) barely even begins to show you what that game does to your sanity. Run while you still can!

Nice try, but no. You need to talk about it for a little bit then add the link at the end, so that people are less likely to check the url to see where they're going. It's amazing how seeing the acronym "iwbtg" makes certain people's danger sense go off.

everything is possible.. so far I'm more then half way to finish this game and start doing user levels.. if you get stuck at something, check the high scores.

I highly recomend spring. The learning curve is brutal, but once you get the hang of it it's definetel the best free multiplayer RTS game out there.

7x7 fights involving hundreds of units at once with nuclear bombs raining all over the place, robots of all sizes, clouds of bombers, canons of DOOM wich can shoot pretty much anywhere on the map, tanks, battle ships, hovercrafts and pretty much anything you can remember, all at the same time!

I was serious about being reasonably fun, and about it being hard.

I find it fun to try and second guess the author, about what kind of impossible traps are placed there.

Of course, I'm off the opinion that if a game doesn't challenge me, it's no fun. That's also the reason why I dislike most modern games, they're just too easy. (it's also the reason I underperform at school, I just find no challenge in what they teach)
