Freeware games, as in free games to download and play off the internet, and don't mean piracy and what not. What's the best one you've played, or own.

Mine would be Knytt Stories by Nifflas, or I Wanna Be The Guy, the most fustrating game I've ever played.

Possibly Iji; fantastic game. Second to that would be Knytt Stories.

Minions. It's a flash game, so you don't actually download it, but it is fucking fun once you figure it out. Other than that, a large selection of games over on Kongregate.com are quite good, and free.

Battle for Wesnoth!

Fantastic turn-based fantasy strategy game, with plenty of campaigns and new additions all the time.

I heartily recommend it.

Also, I'd recommend checking out Abandonia Reloaded which is a great repository of freeware games.

And finally, would you include games that have become freeware? For example the fantastic adventure game "Beneath A Steel Sky" has been freeware for a while now, and is well worth playing.

Hmm... What's it called now again...

Penumbra!
Probably the best horror game I've played.

Does Quake Live count? If so, that.

Quake Live And Kyntt Stories, and I Wanna Be The Guy, but its not nearly as hard as everyone makes it out to be.


The best out of those would be, hands down, Cave Story.
/fanboy

I wanna be the guy, Cave Story, Dwarf Fortress, Dungeon Crawl

-minigame madness gold (2?)
-dark wars

Frets on Fire, if your into the whole guitar hero/rock band thing. Theres a pretty big song making community too so you can get pretty much any song for the game.

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. Its modded to hell though nowadays, which is good if you play reguarly but I dont so just wanna play it vannila.

Quake Live aswell.

5 Days a Stranger/Trilby's Notes...again.

Cavestory-sheer 2d platforming run and gun awesome
bunny must die-japanese platformer,similar to cave story
battle for wesnoth-grid based tbs

I wanna be the guy
Warsow

get them both.

POcket Tanks... Many deploynments awaiting flights coming back playing that game.

A Game With a Kitty 2: Darkside Adventures

My word what a mouthful! It's a good game, the music is excellent (I wish they gave out some MP3s...), the graphics are nice, it's funny and with a bit of tweaking I think it would make a solid DS game.

DL here.

Nexuiz is pretty fun.

Toribash is always fun.

White Chamber
Cave story
quest for glory 2 (it was fan remade)

do total conversion mods count? pvkii definately best free game ever.

I don't think it is technically possible to own freeware...

I think Iji is probably the best freeware game i've played. But if you've got friends around, then look for Uberleben, or maybe cowboyana...

Dwarf Fortress, hands down is amazing.
Just, go get it.

There's also N. Not N+ on the console market but the original. That's good. Only 1.8mb too.

does plants vs zombies count?

POcket Tanks... Many deploynments awaiting flights coming back playing that game.

That game also is the one of choice for me and my friends at school when we are bored, it is always fun and can bring the most random things to the table.

Yume Nikki. I hold it in such high regard because of the mood- it scared the everloving hell out of me. Don't play it at night.

Masq, that is a quality piece of freeware.

(Private) Silkroad Online
Quake Live
BF: Heroes (pretty good quality for a a free game)
Runes of Magic
