Respawn LAN Forums _ Gaming _ The free games list (Free and Legal)

Posted by: The Mike Jun 28 2011, 04:46 PM

I have played most of these games at one point or another. But it has occurred to me that some of you may be missing some possible additions for your libraries. It should be noted that all these are not "LAN capable" games, quite a few are intended for direct internet use and don't have LAN support, Never the less a new version may be released at any point in time which allows such option.

These games listed below are all free, they are legally downloadable from either Steam (steampowered.com) or independent developers/publishers.

Notes:
- Some games may require account signup.
- Some games may require an email address to download.

NOTE: There are currently no Australian based servers, however when going through the character creation process I implore you to choose the Hong Kong / Thailand servers. They are well maintained, contain a fair amount of English speaking players, and have little lag if you have a good connection (Right now I'm playing on 120kB/s connection, and there are rarely any problems shooting or driving).

As another resort I feel it is worth mentioning the "Humble Bundle" which can be found http://www.humblebundle.com/

Since you have Tf2 on the list you might as well have BF PFF : http://battlefield.play4free.com/en/frontpage/landingPage

While that is the spirit, I think this is more meant as a "Hey look! Free games! Let's play some at Respawn."

Yeah. and Yeah it was sort of the point, it's also good for people to kill some time at home.

Starcraft 2 has a free "starter" version.
http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/3250656
While this won't work at LAN, it is still a free and enjoyable game.

Added StarCraft 2 and Not Tetris 2

I highly recommend that people play Not Tetris 2. It is an amazingly addictive game based off the old gameboy version of tetris (DERP). I could also see it being a competitive game at respawn to see who would have the highest score.

Last time I tried to claim the nvidia offer on a PC that didn't have a nvidia card it didn't work, the link above did though
