Money-less College Student Needs A Good Free Game


Hi everyone!

I was just wondering if anybody knew of any freeware games that were pretty good. I'm not talkin' about Half Life 2 good or anything, just something fun and worth playing.

Any suggestions?
Thanks...

Linux has beaucoup, if you're using it. You might try TUCOWS. Is there a certain category you're looking for?

There are a few online games that are free. Most of the ones I know are space type games but they are pretty good. I think most are strategy games. But here a link to a page that may have some good things on it. If I can find any of the other links I have to free online games I will post them here for you.

There is also the option of America's Army Free download and free game play. it also not a bad game. I also came across this link looks good but I haven't tried many of the free online game yet. Hope this helps. I also have some more some where of some of the games I use to play online some of them were really good, I'll let you know if I come across any of them.

Yeah, I used to play America's Army alot, I mean ALOT. That was, however, until I got Half Life. HL just kinda drew me away from AA. But now that you mention it, it was still a pretty good team based FPS...

Sounds like it may be promising...

I'm kind of ashamed to admit it, but after "giving it another shot", I found that Runescape (http://www.runescape.com) has actually changed from the time I remember playing it years ago... Lo and behold.... Ive become semi-addicted to it...Now thats something I never imagined happening! So I was just going to try it out one day, and I just got hooked on it, training my character in a skill, fighting goblins, and quests and all that stuff...

So that's what Im currently doing... Other than that, Im preparing for the new semester which starts tomorrow (wednesday)... yipee....
