Due the formally mentioned technical trouble, the time that I am normally writing for the site, I have instead been playing a lot of free games. So here is some of the free ones that I have been playing. Just click the titles of each game to go to the sites were they can be found.
This is a free 2D MMORPG. Like most MMO's the point is to hack & slash your way to the next level-up. The fact that it is a 2D sidescroller gives it a little bit of a different feel than your standard WOW clone. But what really makes it stand out above others is that it does not play like a free game it is something that you would really expect to pay for.
On the downside after a while it does get very repetitive. There is not much variety in the enemy's that you encounter. Another big draw back is that most of the landscape really starts to look the same after a while. But the biggest problem is that the quest's really seem to take a back seat to the fighting which at least to me makes leveling-up seem less useful. But despite it's issues this is still one of my favorite freebies.
If you are like me then Portal looks awesome but you are having trouble justifying spending the money on a pack that you already own half of the games in. If that is the case and you need a similar game to tide you over, then you are in luck because not only does such a game exist but it is also free.
Narbacular Drop is actually the game that inspired portal. It was made by some college students who impressed Valve so much with this game that they hired them, and Portal is the result of that.
While this game may be lame when compared to portal it is still a lot of fun. It is short (like 15 min from start to finish), it is ugly and it has a few glitches, but at its core it is a fun free game with Portal style gameplay so check it out.
Dungeon Runners is best described as Diablo meets World of War Craft. It is an MMORPG with a lot of hacking & slashing through dungeons for Exp. and items.
It is only partially free, several of the better items can only be used by paying members, and it is only free up to level 20. But despite this there is still much fun to be had as it does take quite awhile to reach level 20.
If you already have a WoW subscription then Dungeon runners is probably not worth your time. But for the rest of us it is a pretty good game.
Last but most certainly not least is my favorite of the bunch Albatross 18. Golf, Anime, MMORPG, that pretty much sums up this really strange yet somehow awesome game.
Some people probably know this game better by the name it was given on the Wii Super Swing Golf. But what many do not know is that there is a better version of Super Swing Golf and it is free.
I have been playing Albatross 18 for a few years now and while I may get tired of it from time to time I always come back for more. Do not let its strange concept of Golf MMO scare you because I do not like golf, and I'm also not a huge fan of MMO's yet I love this one.
Basically you create a character then earn money called Pang while golfing to upgrade your stats and buy new clubs and accessories. But there is much more to it than that every course has its own unique strategy with lots of crazy obstacles that seem better suited two a put put golf course like pyramids and penguins.
The only real problem I have with this game is that a lot of the premium gear cost real money. I just cant justify paying for a digital hat no matter how cool it looks!
Other Stuff
Those are the main games I have been playing. But some other games that I have not really spent enough time with. But still seem fun enough to warrant a mention are listed below with the sites that they can be found at.
