This is the closest board I could think of for this thread.
This thread is for suggestions of PC games, either online or stand alone. Suggest good fun games which are either free or extremely cheap.
I'll start with a 100% FREE multiplayer online game - first person shooter, where you fight against other people online, and also if no-one is online then bots are used. It is a second world war Allies v Axis teams game. Game is called "Enemy Territory: Wolfenstein" you download the game for free from game sites. There are a load of users around the world who 'host' games from their own servers, it's all a bit too technical for me, but that's basically it. One of those servers is called "pronoob" if you google "pronoob"
you'll find it.
Here's an example of gameplay with no music overlay.
Here's an example of some of the fun mods that people do
Some clips with music overlay better quality

Combat Arms Europe is completely free.
First Person Shooter, lots of different types of games. Earn points for promotion, better weapons etc....
Biggest problem for me is the kids are too good and kick my !!!.0 -
i hop onto https://www.newgrounds.com from time to time when i'm stuck somewhere with low bandwidth and/or a low spec machine.
a lot of junk but some of the free flash games on there can amuse for 30 mins or so quite easily0 -
Runes of magic
its similar to world of warcraft but from what i heard its not as good but it could give an intro to the game genre0 -
My favourite free PC game is Trackmania Nations Forever. You can race loads of tracks and see how well your friends are doing, and there's an online multiplayer mode where you can connect to a huge number of servers all over the world and compete in real time. Oh, and you can design your own tracks too.
It would probably be my favourite PC game ever... if they hadn't made Trackmania United Forever - it's a paid-for upgrade to Nations Forever that gives you loads more tracks and different cars.
I logged on yesterday and the game said there was an update/patch available. It didn't give too much information, but I installed it... and found 127 new tracks! It's like being given a new game for free! Bloomin' marvellous!0 -
I used to play Travian, problem is it eats up your life as ideally you need to be monitoring the account 24 hours a day and each 'server' lasts over a year (except the speed server). It's basically a war strategy game, you start with a village and train troops to attack other villages and take their resources.0

Another great free game is Emily Enough - a retro-style graphic adventure game. Again, it's a fantastic game (whatever happened to adventure games anyway..?).0

America's Army is a great game i play occasionally, however ive never spnt more hours on free games than on this.
This is also very funny after about level 3, gets very interesting. NOTE: you do need sound to play really, otherwise level 3 and after get very hard having to guess what to do.Back by no demand whatsoever.0 -
In no particular order:
- Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (yes, that's the official site)
- Grand Theft Auto / Grand Theft Auto 2 / Wild Metal Country
- MechCommander / MechCommander 2
- Warzone 2100
- Dungeons & Dragons Online
- Savage / Savage 2
- Quake Live
- Battlefield Heroes
- The Elder Scrolls: Arena / Daggerfall

Kongregate has quite a range of browser based games, like with Newgrounds there's a lot of rubbish but quite a few good ones too.0

Only one problem with free online pc games. You seem to get a lot of smart mouthed kiddies who haven't learned any gaming etiquette there. Sometimes they can be impossible to keep banned too because of dynamic ips
However I'm a total Enemy Territory addict and server admin for same game. Would welcome newbies to join and have some fun :j4 Stones and 0 pounds or 25.4kg lighter :j0
