Battlefield: Heroes too, Third Person Shooter.

www.FreeFarmGame.co.uk for all you budding farmers out there.

It is highly recommended that your drink copious amounts of cider while listening to The Wurzels to get the full effect of this game.

by **GTFO. Cole Scuttle** » 21 May 2010, 11:33

You do that anyway

by **Agent Pumpkin** » 21 May 2010, 11:52

A rather nifty free flying round shooting things game.

http://armorgames.com/play/5426/steambirds

Sort of a flash version of Wings of War. (Turn based to plan your moves.)

An online nation building then go to war with the others game. Rather nifty.

If you wanna look me up on it I'm Pumpkin and I'm in team Aqua!

Couple of MMO's i've enjoyed.

NavyField - www.navyfield.com (WWII Navy/Sea battle combat sim)
Voyage Century Online - www.vc.igg.com (17th Century MMO based on land/Sea, with Pirates!)
Shaiya - www.shaiya.aerigames.com (Fantasy MMO. Need I say more?...)

All are free online multiplayer games, but have added features/items for those who are willing to pay.
Shaiya and VCO have extensive 'single' player gameplay as you make you're way around their worlds, complete quests, kill stuff, etc.
NavyField is unique though. Its the only game of its type. Its an MMO 'TSG' which relies on multiplayer battles instead.

Lord of the rings online is going free soon. http://www.lotro.com/betasignup/

by **GTFO. WhiteRaven** » 21 Jul 2010, 18:58

I just signed up for that LOTR Beta. I'm a sucker for a decent MMO RPG :oops:

by **plodgeface** » 21 Jul 2010, 19:03

by **GTFO. Irritant** » 21 Jul 2010, 21:19

LOTR online is now properly free. http://www.lotro.com/free.php

I don't like free MMORPGs. At the end to enjoy it you need to pay even more than in normal MMO. I prefer paying monthly fee, because no one can pay for advantage.

I know how you feel about F2P MMORPGs. I've played that GrindFest aka FlyFF for quite some time. At first I didn't cared much about the cashshop, but later on and 4 versions later every big update contained more stuff for the paying players.

I also played Aion for a month, had to pay for extra 2 months because it wouldn't let me activate otherwise. I sometimes feel like just checking out Aion again but I cba reactivating and paying again for maybe 3 hours of gameplay.

Both come with a downside.

LotRO is shit. Just plain boring.

I just started Cave Story and so far it is awesome! The original is freeware but recently it was added as WiiWare with improved graphics.

http://www.miraigamer.net/cavestory/downloads_1.php

First, you need to download the Japanese version, then apply the English translation patch.

ASCII privateer. Its "privateer" in ASCII. Surprisingly quite good.

Heroes of Might and Magic Kingdoms - web based strategy
Magellan Wars (formally Archspace) - web based space strategy
12 Forgotten Online Games - 12 old skool pre-web games that are still available (for the MUDs on page 5 I recommend Accursed Lands or Ages of Despair)
Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory - free fps, sadly most servers are now inhabited by bots, but fun game if you can find humans
Minecraft - addictive sandbox game
Kick Ass - not really a game, but a fun little bookmark to blow up webpages asteroids style

Just added Need For Speed World, totally free to download and play. There are, of course, extras that you can buy to level up more quickly, but everything is available free too if you put in the play time.

Its basically a free version of Battlefield 2 with some features from BC2 and battlefield heroes chucked in as well.

Problem atm is that it is in closed beta so you got to sign up (but im already in it

). I will try to snap up some beta keys to give away if i can

But it will be released spring time this year.

I've had a beta key for that for a month or so (huzzah for Yank friends!) So I've got some keys to give away already, I just have to log in again as I never actually played it.....
