The Free Games Thread

[standardman]

Time for another big game dump, I'll be separating these into games that launch from your browser and game you have to download to play.

LET'S A-GO!

Playable in browser

First for DaHonay is Free Mah Jong which is either a free game or a human rights movement.


Next and primarly for Aurora is The Fall Fog. It's very similair to the Room Escape games in that the aim is to escape an enclosed space by finding and using objects.



If you like this, try the fun but less pretty Submachines series by the same people.


And now for something completely different. Mekuri Master is about, well, in the words of the titular character, 'race through the corridors like a fearsome wind, flipping, flipping, flipping up girls' skirts and letting the whole world know that I am the Mekuri Master!'. Pick your difficulty, favourite panties and off you go. Yes, it's from Japan.




Let's follow the the panty peaking simulator with something a touch more cerebal. Spin the Black Circle is fiendishly difficult. The aim is to get the ball to the portal by spinning the black circle while trying avoid the spikes.




Now that your brain is nice and juicey, you should probably start fighting off the zombie horde. The Zombie Wars puts you in control of a character that looks a bit like Rambo against swarms of zombies. As the levels progress, there's more weapons and different types of zombies and lots of lovely blood.




After killing that many zombies, I imagine they're not best pleased with you. In The Last Stand, you'll have to keep them at bay by night and search for weapons, survivors and repair your barricade by night.




Irondukes is a tongue in cheek steampunk aventure on the sea. Hire a crew, equip them with weapons and armour and set sial for daring-do such as battling monsters, diving for treasure and navigating storms. One of my favourites in this thread.






Sticking with steampunk, StormWinds is a base building shoot 'em up. Place your upgradable turrets, switch between them and blast those rotory bladed bastards out of the sky!




The wonderfully surreal Grow games are described on the site in odd quasi-poetry form.

Click panels in your selected order.
Items you click will grow and grow with each clicking.
They sometimes effect each other as they grow.
So you have to think about the clicking order.

There's a lot of them and they're all worth a play
1, 2, 3, Cube, RPG, Nano 0 , Nano 1, Nano 2, Nano 3, Ornament and my favourite Island




Bringing us back to logic, albeit enjoyable logic, is Phun. Phun is unique in that you make the game - it gives you a set of tools with physics and you get to play. There's no limit to what you can do here.




You have to Burn the Rope has inspired quite the following, it's worth playing for the song. I'm not spoiling it with a screenshot.


That'll do for now, I'll post some downloadable games later.

Whoo hoo! Beat it! That was kinda creepy, lol. The final line after you go outside... TOTAL CHEESE!! lol

[standardman]

Ha, yes, quite like the art direction though. I think those other games may take place before it.

Oh for fuck sake, just when I kicked the Drawball and Truckerz! I'm never going to get anything done at work.

[DaHonay]

Thanks Standardman!

You're welcome, DaHonay. Glad to stop productivity, DEPjrTX.

a fast, simple, old-school shooter that's good in short bursts

This really is a great game, especially if you loved tempest as a kid. Doesn't work well on widescreen monitors though

Also: Not quite a game, but can keep you amused for hours: Pyro Sand 2

PopCap has a bunch of other online games on their site beyond Peggle.

I was updating my ipod and out of curiosity I checked the games from itunes and this was there. It was $5 and doesn't have all the features of the downloaded version. But it is still better than the options available for free on the ipod.

HELP!

Severe boredom at work...
