We're going to start up a list of awesome (Or at least Half-Decent) games for free. Try not to just spam the list, but make some heartfelt contributions you think others will enjoy. I'll Start. WARNING: Will not be held responsible in any way for lack of sleep, missed assignments, late projects, procrastination, wasted days, late nights, early mornings, tardiness, lack of social contact, etc. Cave Story - Megaman had a baby with Metroid, and so came Cave Story. An amazing game. http://www.miraigamer.net/cavestory/ Dwarf Fortress- I Have no clue what I'm doing but fuck if it's not addicting http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ Star Control 2 - One of the most epic Space Games ever made. Explore the Galaxy, collect Minerals across countless planets, upgrade your ship, and save Mankind from the Ur-Quan. http://sc2.sourceforge.net/ Elona - Not quite sure how to explain it. A good rpg(?). Well worth a look. http://homepage3.nifty.com/rfish/index_e.html Marathon - A stylish Doom-Like Shooter, but with a little more bang in the buckshot. An imaginative and evocative Science-Fiction tale. Takes time to get rolling, but ends with a bang. http://source.bungie.org/ FreeCiv - A Open Source Civilization game. A basic mish-mash of all the best features. Give the game a try if you've never played the series before. Addiction 85% guaranteed. http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
So is anyone making an image list like those in http://vsrecommendedgames.wikia.com/wiki/ ? If not, I'm willing to take that effort.
http://bulletsofarevolver.blogspot.com/ Coolest cowboy fightan gaem i've played yet.
>>55548 >Custer's Revenge reference
>>55548 This game is bad and you should feel bad Justin.
>>55594 Well, he never said it was good, just that it was the best cowboy fighter. And how do you contest a claim like THAT?
>>55604 Well, maybe i played other cowboy fighting games.
>>55676 ...have you?
Oh damn. Coming here from the real /v/ and I must say, you guys are better than oxygen. The first thread I see is a 300+ reply freeware game thread. FUCK YES. Since I want to contribute too, I made a freeware game collection a LONG time ago that I shared via torrent, but it was kinda rushed and added most of the games that people suggested me, judging wether to add them or not only by a bunch of screenshots, so some stupid games made it in there and many games are in the wrong category. Also, the torrent has only 3 seeds as of now, so it's slow as fuck to download. But yeah, I hope some of you'll enjoy it. http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4485702/Freeware_Games_Collection_v2.00 I considered putting together a much polished and thoroughly tested collection for /v/ but... you know, they don't really deserve it. But maybe I could bother to actually do it, if some of you wanted me to. Downloading all of these one by one is an hassle, having them all together could be easier.
>>61285 Welcome to /cog/! Please, enjoy your time on plus4chan, brother.
>>61286 I will sure as fuck do, bro. Also, GENETOS http://www.tatsuya-koyama.com/software/wg002_genetos_eng.html SHMUP that starts in the Space Invaders era, to evolve up until today's shooters.
>>61287 I've been playing a lot of Raycrisis recently, yet this game does a good job of killing me in the third stage. I think I just need to adapt a little more.
http://www.fun-motion.com/files/sumotori101.zip I fucking love Sumotori Dreams Even Conan O'Brien does http://www.tilt.tv/?cm=news&aid=17648[/spoiler]
Just got posted on Indiegames but here it is. Towerclimb. You are a random dude that climbs a procedurally generated tower/cave while avoiding traps and shit by wallclimbing and being spiderman. Fuckawesome 10 minutes killer. http://gamejolt.com/freeware/games/towerclimb/files/towerclimb/download/1459/2170/
>>62629 That game's a dick.
>>62753 You are now aware you are capable of hopping from a ledge and walking through the spikes with no damage.
>>62753 As long as you don't jump on them, spikes don't do shit.
>>62629 This game seems really luck based. Is there a way to clime upwards while on the edge of a ceiling? Still, very fun
Crossfire? http://crossfire.z8games.com/events_gc_home.aspx
Canabalt: an intense, one-button free running game where you jump across buildings to escape from giant robots. Easy to pick-up but hard to master since the building placement and the gap lengths are randomly generated every time you start a game. Personal best is just over 4k meters. I suck. http://adamatomic.com/canabalt/
>>61287 Beautiful. Jesus Christ, this is an amazing achievement. Part tribute, part art game, part legitimately balls-hard shmup, Genetos moved me through the emotional spectrum, oscillating between childlike wonder and disparate frustration.
http://www.minecraft.net/ I've been playing this game with a friend and we have been having a ton of fun. We're basically making giant dwarf fortresses, even going so far as to make irrigation systems and biodomes. It's crazy addictive.
>>51973 Damn that game is far more complex than I thought it would be.
Level Up! http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/519030 This is a pretty nifty little flash game. It's a platformer with RPG elements; it shouldn't take you long to beat but it's really fun.
http://www.freewebgames.com/realspace2/index.asp Played this game ever since I was a kid. Man, it takes me back.
I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but on the offchance it hasn't... the white chamber is a point-and-click mystery/horror game IN SPACE. You play a young woman who wakes up in a coffin and must figure out the mystery of what happened on the space station you're trapped on. http://www.studiotrophis.com/site/projects/thewhitechamber It's a good game, if rather short, and can be pretty damn scary at times.
http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=9025385 Soul of Dracula, Stickvania, and Return of Egypt. Three little Castlevania clones. And that dude is totally Moses.
>>61285 Trojans. About ten of them in there.
>>74335 Well, I don't know wheter the coders put them in there by themselves, but I sure didn't. You're free to trust me or not. It's because of people that keep going "LOLVIRUS" before downloading and scanning it that I stopped doing this kind of thing.

>>20196 Just tried out Iji. A surprising amount of depth at work here. Solid exploration and level design, good game design in general except for the tragically bland combat. Mediocre plot + great execution = "pretty good" story. I'd give it an iffy recommendation, but one HELL of a final boss fight brought me around- thumbs up on this one, give it a whirl out sometime. Just kick the difficulty up a notch or two, and don't worry too much about being a completionist.

>>79747 Mediocre plot? Please. The plot is fucking awesome. Seems rather meh at the start, but the more you go on, it just gets better. I just don't like the art. The art fucking sucks. Everything else is just awesome.
>>80371 Oh look, yet another horrible tragedy has occurred for petty, shallow reasons. How surprising! Let's watch it get milked for as much drama as possible!

>>80476 You can water down any plot ever that way. I just love the feel of "all hope is lost, you're fighting in vain. Everyone is fucked anyway".
>>81120 I just hate it when the story's drama hinges around terrible things happening for trivial reasons. It means the endless ruminations aren't going to lead anywhere insightful; you're just wallowing in angst. Again, I do very much like how the story is told, and the role you have in how it plays out.
>>185 W-where did the Pkunk go? They can't lose their war against the Ilwrath, can they? They're no longer in their home system of Gamma Krueger.
>>85040 Don't worry, they're fine.
>>85041 Where did they go? Even their little blue circle has vanished. It's like I never discovered their location, but when I went back to check, they were gone.
>>85043 Try asking the Yehat.
>>85040 W-Wait, someone's playing through SC2 without a guide? I...I AM SO HAPPY. *Internet Brofist*
>>85064 I'll do that, thanks. >>85079 Well, yeah. What's the point of playing a game if you're not the one playing it? I'll fumble my way through it the first time and then if I lose I'll check a guide for what I did wrong. But until then it's trial and error.
>>85119 You're good people, Anonymous.
http://www.warsow.net/ Warsow - Set in a futuristic cartoon-like world where rocketlauncher-wielding pigs and lasergun-carrying cyberpunks roam the streets, Warsow is a completely free fast-paced first-person shooter (FPS) for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. (basically Quake with more movement involved)
>>85616 Hey, I appreciate that. Thanks.
Looks like we're getting a freebie game over steam: Alien Swarm. Coming out this Monday. http://store.steampowered.com/app/630 Looks neat, and I've been needing a fresh distraction between eating and dying. Anyone care to hook up for this, you know where to find me on Steam.
>>86992 Any news on a potential release date for us Macfags? Well, that and L4D.
>>388 Screenshots make it look like Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff the videogame.
