Hunger Games - The Game. Ten more games that will make you think about life. Life, eh? It's all a bit mad really, isn't it? Here we are, the products of millions of years of chance chemical and biological reactions, wandering around on a dying rock as it spins through the vast, indifferent universe with nought but the knowledge of our own inevitable oblivion for company. A sobering thought. And sobering thoughts will sure as sugar turn you to drink. But you don't want to do that - apparently it can be quite good for you. So spare your liver and sacrifice your eyesight and wrist tendons instead by digging in to our latest top ten games that make you think about life. 1 One Chance Here's something to think about - every decision we ever make, no matter how seemingly inconsequential it may be at the time, has the potential to fundamentally change our lives forever.

Of course, the thing about decisions is you normally only get one chance to make them and, once they're made, you can't go back. 2 A Mother in Festerwood Kids, eh? 3 American Dream 4 As I Lay Dying 5 Prior. Another 20 games that make you think about life.

First we gave you five. Then we gave you ten. Now we are giving you 20 games that make you think about life. If you have developed a taste for games of a philosophical nature, then you should be in for a treat - we have some seriously innovative games here, everything from Elude, a game that explores the nature of depression, to Ulitsa Dimitrova, a tale about a street-urchin in Russia. As with our previous lists, we have focused mainly on free games that you can play in your browser. But we have also thrown in the occasional downloadable game. 1 Elude Developed by Singapore-MIT Gambit Game Lab, Elude is a dark, atmospheric game that aims to shed light on the nature of depression.

The forest that you start the game in represents a normal mood. This is a gloomy underground cavern, with a sticky muddy base that sucks you down. 2 Air Pressure 3 Symon Another impressive production by Singapore-MIT Gambit Game Lab, Symon is a point-and-click adventure game with a difference. 4 Ulitsa Dimitrova. Top 30 best free games you should play today | News | TechRadar UK - StumbleUpon. 26. 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. Reprisal 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. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. Play Loved.
