Also, MekTek just released a new version of their Mekpak for MW4.

Just 2 free/open source games I play alot.

Ehh... let me say, rebuilt. HDD Raid 5 complete failure... just upgraded to a 3 x 1tb Raid 5 (1.85 tb total). But it's a decent machine... I'll give it a try.

Ah, well, if you have a decent graphics card you should be fine. TBH there's not all that much that'll put a strain, I was able to play up until the last couple of graphical updates

Free full game - America's Army 3.
Though AA2 was far better imo. AA3 has improved graphics and larger maps but it just doesn't feel the same. My favorite maps in AA2 was Bridge crossing and Pipeline they are both in AA3 to those that know the maps. And AA3 is downloadable from Steam

Whoa, how did that happen? Hey, any word on SWG going free?

TheSatyr · 02-15-11, 01:23 PM

Pirates of the burning Sea is also free to play now.

Then you're trying the wrong things obviously, OTTD is excellent, Dwarf Fortress addicting, Orbiter spectacular and hard, Panzer General Forever is also excellent, so is Steel Beasts.
So...yeah, there's a few bad eggs out there but these days the freeware scene is booming, particularly in comparison to...say...five years ago.

Thanks for the advice, I can give it a shot

That's quite accurate really, I bought GTA IV on a Steam sale for 8 Euro, which is not the same as a dollar but hey, the number was right!

(and the game WAS fun!)

On the other hand, I bought Crysis Warhead at a similar sale for 2 (!) Euro...I soon realized why it was so cheap...didn't even finish it.

It was one or the other and I just had to pick the wrong name didn't I?

And yes, I wish Steel Beasts was free too...

Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun is available as a free download now, IIRC.

And I do believe that one or two of the older Battlecruiser games are also freebies now, as well as Universal Combat.

If you can find it, Hardwar is a lot of fun. It's slipped further into the deep recesses of the net since I last looked around for it.

Arclight · 02-16-11, 02:01 AM

Oh right, original GTA, Hidden&Dangerous and Full Spectrum Warrior are free too.

Tried H&D and FSW in the past; FSW had rather horrible performance and H&D... can't remember, think I just had a disagreement with the controls.
