Top 30 best free games you should play today

Wing Commander Saga A stunning fan-sequel to one of the PC's most beloved space simulators. Wing Commander Saga offers a huge new campaign you don't need to have played the original games to enjoy, with 55 missions, cut-scenes, full voiceovers, and more, all based on the Freespace 2 engine. Saga is standalone though, so don't worry if you don't own it. 27. Populous returns in Reprisal - a gorgeous pixel-art reinvention. 28. Lead the ancient civilisation of your choice to glory in this free-to-play version of the classic series. 29. Online RPGs have never been so streamlined, or so insane. When you die, you die for good... but Realm of the Mad God is so fast that rolling a new character and jumping back in from the start is no real hardship. 30.

DOTA style strategy meets first-person shooters in this free-to-play sequel. Easily the best part, though, is that each game is narrated. 31. 32. 33. 34. Spelunky is about anger, hate and, most of all, death. PC Preview - 'Endless Space' The market for turn-based strategy games is surprisingly broad.

PC Preview - 'Endless Space'

Beyond the varying levels of quality, there is always concern about the gameplay presentation. Many games tout fantastic features and deep gameplay, only to bury them under an unintelligible UI. We recently checked out an alpha build of an upcoming turn-based game, Endless Space. Even in its current state, we must give credit to the developers for having put some thought into Endless Space before trying to cram in all of the rules and content. The game takes place in a randomly generated galaxy in which you play as a particular race of beings, with each race having strengths and weaknesses. Importantly, the UI does a good job of conveying all the information that you need while at the same time not becoming lost in the minutiae. Information is spread out into the spaces where it is pertinent, with easily accessibly summary screens available if you want to get a more universal body of information.

S Lair: Preserving the Classics. Ten games that make you think about life. At the start of this year, we decided to come up with a list of Flash casual games with a philosophical bent.

Ten games that make you think about life

To be honest, we struggled. After days of research, we could only find a handful of games that had the thought-provoking depth we were looking for. Our list (which you can view by clicking here) was therefore only five games long. Fast forward to now, and it is remarkable how much difference a few months can make. Thanks to the work of pioneers like Daniel Benmergui, Gregory Weir and PixelAnte, there is now an abundance of clever arty Flash games to pique our intellects, and as a result creating this follow-up list of games that make you think has been a doddle. In a wonderful twist, it seems it is the Flash gaming space - until now known more for the throwaway nature of its games rather than depth - that is leading the way in this exciting new area of gaming, as we hope the following games prove. 1Immortall The game starts with you crash landing on a planet. 2Loved 5Coma 6Loondon.
