 Posted: Fri May 09, 2008 3:19 pm Post subject: Freeware Alternatives - Games |
 |
|
This is like the other thread.
Post links to good freeware games. Can be anything, from tetris to something with mind-bending graphics. No generic sites that you just type into google. Try to include small screenshots.
I'll start.
Open Arena - http://www.openarena.ws
Open source FPS.
Warsow - http://www.warsow.net/?page=home
FPS, more or less like open arena, but with cell shaded graphics.
 
GridWars2 - Download Link
Basically a clone of geometry wars but for windows. Bloody fun game, and a lot easier if you have a joypad.
N.B. Bizarre Creations, the people behind the XBOX360 game geometry wars, have sent out cease and desist notices to some developers of geometry wars clones, citing intellectual property infringement. Grid wars 2 developer being the main one. As a result, the game can no longer be downloaded from the developers web page.
Frets On Fire - http://fretsonfire.sourceforge.net/
Essentially, a buggy guitar hero clone that you play with the keyboard (or a USB guitar if you have it).
Despite it's problems, it's mighty fun and some of it's features, such as the ability to add songs, make it better than guitar hero. The guitar hero songs themselves can be found if you know where to look.

I hope that screen shot is from the car your driving just before you launched a rocket into that POS Series one Disco, if the game is realistic you would have to be careful following the Disco just in case you slid off the road from the oil slick. |
