Kind of a nasty warning given how awesome this thread is...

Case of the Crabs is a really good game. Just a short graphic adventure kind of like Broken Sword with impressive production values:

To the two posts above.

1. It's not about flash games.
2. It's not about immensely popular games (quake live) that are advertised all over the web.

Activision decided to grant Phoenix Online a license for their free game King's Quest - The Silver Lining. So finally it was released Yesterday!

[image loading]

Launch Trailer



It's a classic Adventure Game and will be released as Episodes. Number one is ready for download.
So what are you waiting for ?
It's King's Quest and has Roberta William's stamp of approval!

Oops, forgot the link to the Developer Website x_x

Does anyone remember a game that was posted on TL some years ago where you were a ball created by an experiment and tried to save the world. It had awesome music and was quite fun.


I think you're talking about Within a Deep Forest. Awesome game, awesome soundtrack.

n: the way of the ninja

http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/

Control a ninja, maneuver obstacles, collect goooooold.

This game has been the source of many laughs, "whoa" moments, and at least one keyboard broken out of frustration in my house. My brother and his best friend are tied for 20th on the XBL version, out of 277,000 players.

Oh, and there are TONS and TONS of user-created levels, and you can make your own with a very easy-to-use editor.

Developed by Guinsoo, the creator of DotA, League of Legends is a great game for those who enjoyed DotA. The game currently has over 50 champions (characters to play as) and more are being introduced on a weekly basis. The artwork is unique and appealing, and the game itself is also very interesting and fun to play.

My favourite free game used to be Gunster, but after a lot of Hackers ruined the game for everyone else ijji took it off their game roster. You can still play the Japanese version Gunstrike but it's too much effort

I always liked Urban Terror, its like a free Counterstrike, a realistic FPS with a great mapping community.

I'll try not to mention any terribad grindy asian MMO F2P games.

I believe Savage 2 is free now. Like Savage 1, it's a game that tries to combine MMO, FPS, and RTS elements into one big clusterfuck. I actually brought the game during a steam sale and ended up never playing it because my gaming laptop died on me and then the game went free (people who brought the game might get some advantages, not sure what though) like a month later.

http://www.savage2.com/en/main.php

Savage 1 is also free on their website.

Phantasy Star Online's server was taken down by sega a few years back, but theres private servers running that are pretty well runned. Their servers are even compatible with gamecube/Dreamcast versions of the game and any PC/laptop should be able to run it (even initegrated graphics). Google "Phantasy Star Blue Burst" (apparently that's what the latest official PC version was called).

[image loading]

Honorable mention to Alien Swarm. You can download that from Valve on Steam completely free.

Lastly I like to mention that Turbine is making Lord of the Rings Online free to play soon like DDO and there's a Company of Heroes online, a F2P game coming out soon.

I beat all 100 levels of the flash game like a year ago. Good times

I can see why there would be a broken keyboard or two haha

To clear up a few things.

LoL is probably too mainstream for this thread, its at the top of most played multiplayer pc games lists.

As far as I know there was no passing the torch from Eul to Guinsoo, Eul disappeared into anonymity at The Frozen Throne release and Guinsoo created All-Stars by liberally using stuff from DotA.

IceFrog doesn't just approve HoN, he works/worked for S2, see Pendragon letter on http://www.dota-allstars.com/index.html.
