I just recently got back into PSO with my friends on this server (we all used to play on GameCube back in the day), and it's just as entertaining as I remember. Really wish there were more games like this, even after all these years it's a surprisingly entertaining and unique experience. Getting those rare drops always just feel so damn good.
Ok I want to revive this awesome thread for bored summer people! Here are 2 awesome rts-type games to be hyped about! Free flash games ^_^
NOTE: so-called "Hacked" versions of Stick War 2 are just Stick War 1 With an Edited Title Page! Stick War-released and pretty hard(Don't play normal mode unless you are just doing it for the first time but only play it till you get the hang of it then go to hard or extreme for some real challenges )
Controls are listed below the game.
The idea of the game is to defeat your opponent(The computer) By tearing down his statue(Basically the opponent's capital). After each scenario you get an upgrade point to spend on upgrading your units or your statue. Get archidons that shoot fire arrows, speartons that throw spears, Magikill that summon minions to do your bidding and stun enemies that are foolish enough to come close, and Giants that are well... giant. And so much more!
Now for Stick War 2- still under development. StickWar.com Delopment blog. Now are those pictures awesome or what? Stick War 2 will probably be out in time for christmas (Don't quote me on that though)
Desktop Dungeons A free rpg rouge-like game? awesome !! . A game is incredibly fun, challenging, and usually ends in 10 minutes. The goal is to get strong enough to take down a lv 10 boss. The most innovative thing about the game is exploration is treated as a valuable resources because you replenish health and mana when you explore the map. Be sure to give it a try :D
Vindictus is an amazing physics based MMO with beautiful graphics. It's Korean too so that's a plus. If you've ever raided in WoW, the group content pretty much captures that experience but 500% more dynamically and more fun. It's not open world though, and the game is peer to peer so avoid playing with people with shitty internet connections. Vid: + Show Spoiler +
I recently started playing Crimecraft, which is a third person shooter MMO that takes some stuff from GTA but is nothing like APB. Kind of low population, but there's only one server so there's enough people around at all times to get things done. Vid: + Show Spoiler +
And TF2...um, if you still haven't played it since it's gone f2p you're just doing it wrong. + Show Spoiler +
Previously called TDZK. It's a browser game but it's by far the best one I've ever played. Space-sim, with clans, fights, trade, etc. Everything you expect to find. Really well made and really enjoyable. The only real downside is that you only get a certain number of moves each day. Oh, and if the station you docked at when you logged off gets raided you usually end up getting raped when you're jettisoned in to space, unless you have a ship big enough to take on the attacking armada (good luck).
My other suggestion, which most people should know of by now to be honest, is Dwarf Fortress. That game is so sick it's not even funny. Comes with different graphic packs for those who don't like to play in ASCII www.bay12games.com/dwarves
Zen Bondage... just a very relaxing experience, you wrap a string around different objects. looks awesome and runs on anything. And one of my favourite soundtracks ever...
Ive played Combat arms for well over 2 years, lovely gameplay for a free to play, if you can put up with 80% an idiotic community, quite a few hackers and a broken shop system (money buys power.) But its an awesome game regardless.
Heard good things about maplestory, they've got a couple others too.
Ijji is home to many many games (10-15) all free to play. I havent played any of them except A.V.A (alliance of valiant arms) which is another excellent F2P game. Ive heard good things about some of the others they display.
These games have microtransactions funding them. So money = power in some cases i guess, like combat arms. Ava not so much though :-)
Not all of these games are FPS, just because ive added descriptions about them. Many MMO's RPG's, turn based etc
Geometry Wars is the single most epic arcade game of all time. I'm pretty sure there's a free version somewhere since it's quite old. But the newer edition (which costs money) can be found on the Xbox Live Marketplace, and it's addicting as heck.
Star Control 2 is abandonware... Because it's such a great game, there's an initiative to keep it going and updated for newer PCs over at http://sc2.sourceforge.net/ under the moniker The Ur-Quan Masters...
It's a great space-based RPG from 1992, where you're pretty much left completely to your own devices. You start off in a decrepit alien spacecraft, gather allies/enemies along the way while restoring your ship. Of course, there's more than 1 hostile civilization, one of which currently has Earth imprisoned.
Battles are 1v1 and you can choose to send out an alien ally's ship to fight or use your own ship (generally stronger, but if you lose that one you're dead). There's also a melee mode if you're not interested in the story at all.
I really recommend using the map (http://www.star-control.com/sc2/images/sc2_color_map.jpg) because it's extremely unlikely that you'll finish on time otherwise... It came with the game.
Heh... Just realized when I tried to search to make sure that no one had mentioned it yet that Liquid'Drone made a thread about it 7 years ago... To steal his explanation of the game, + Show Spoiler +
it starts in the year 2155 and you're controlling this huge ass alien spaceship, you're human yet never been to earth, and then you start out in our solar system and you visit earth but then you see that earth is imprisoned by this red impenetrable shield. there's this one alien species called the Ur Quan that pretty much controls the galaxy and your mission is to, from your one alien space ship, defeat them all. considering your vessel can only kill like 10 or so ur quan ships when controlled well and there are thousands of ur quan ships, your goal is not to defeat them through brute force.
and there are like 20 different alien species all with great background stories and distinct personalities. oh so great.
at the beginning of the game there is this slightly repetitive period of exploring and building up your ship, but it's oh so worth it.

O sweet thats awesome! Thanks for this contribution . You know you make good posts for an SCV =P. Also, bumping this because 1) this is an awesome thread deserving a bump for those bored people out there and 2) I wanted to post another game ^^
http://dominion.isotropic.org/ free web server for playing the 2-4 player game Dominion. Found here: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/36218/dominion The game is inspired by Magic however is completely different. It is a backwards CCG(Card collecting game Note: not trading). You start with 7 copper coins and 3 estates your parents gave you to make your own empire. However, your opponent(s) got some too. Now you need to either deplete 3 stacks of cards or deplete the provinces to end the game. You win by getting the most victory points. Victory points are accumulated through buying estates,duchies, and/or provinces as well as some cards in the game that give effects that either give victory points for actions, are victory point cards who's worth increases with your deck size(Garden: This card is worth 1 victory point for every 10 cards in your deck), or give effects and victory points as well.
The game is all about having the fastest deck. If you can get a deck that can buy a province every turn before the 13th turn you are doing great .
Quakeworld. My favorite game of all time I would say, what i consider the bw of fps games! Very movement based and fast paced.
It's pretty much freeware, you just need the id1 files from q1... which is easily obtainable, I will link below. It still has people playing every day, especially in Europe where it is really active! But I play in NA and it is still fun. #qwrookie on quakenet for any questions you might have. #telefrag They are very friendly and you can ask them anything about configs and scripts, etc. qw is very customizable. #telefrag.me and #na.qw.pickup to help find games in NA.
and there is also a 2on2 tourney/league that will be starting up very soon, http://qwsta.info/ for more info and #sta is the irc channel. Doesn't matter where you are from, plenty of euros playing but it IS played on US servers only. And there is a rookie division to play in too, so don't worry about being good!
nQuake Is a very noobie friendly setup, but has a lot of unnecessary video options to make it look "nicer". You can disable them of course through options but I would recommend just downloading the client(ezquake if you have experience dealing with old games and can use a console lol. I personally use http://www.quakeworld.nu/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=58801, very nice hud bind etc. the whole deal. Only problem is its setup a bit weird so you would need to read the readme.txt and know how to work with configs. Lastly, i use http://www.quakeservers.net/quakeworld/servers/so=8/ to find servers very easy. Prefer it over the in-game server browser.
Build awesome things to make the ball get into the goal. Designs can vary from simple cars to massive cranes. Used to be an awesome community who held many tournaments (seeing who could solve levels with least pieces), but the community has died off .

I think that's only the second time that's been mentioned in this thread and it blows my mind. One of the best platformers out there, no doubt.
Yes this is the 3rd time you'll see the mentioning of Cave Story, but this is probably THE best freeware platformer you can find around. It's like the Half-Life of FPS, or BW of RTS.

I swear I had this game on Sega or something. Confirm/Deny? If yes, I remember sitting around playing this fuckin thing for HOURS against my cousins
