No excuse not to try these 13 games

June 27th, 2012

Since we're on the subject, I'd be remissed if I didn't share the below. 

Eteknix has written a helpful guide to some of the best free-to-play games on PC. 13 in fact, replete with links to all the free stuff. A lot of the games you'll know. But there's a handful you still might not be familiar with. 

Grammatical errors aside, it's a great starting point for newbies or for anyone looking to play something new without plopping down cash first.

Anything you'd add to the list?

WoW - I have many reasons not to play it

Realm of the Mad God - I played it before it was quite fun I reccmmend it

DC Universe Online - I played it with the sub before it was okay but I prefer Champions online but I think DC universe has the advantage of letting you play as a villian

Blacklight Retribution - I hevent played it so I will give it a look

Team Fortress 2 - Good hat sim the fighting minigame is good as well (seriously its ton's of fun no matter what you do even trolling)

Tribes: Ascend - I played closed beta and my god it was awsome skiding acorss the floor gunning down other players I recommend this as well

APB: Reloaded - It was good but I felt it was just missing something

Need For Speed: World - I never played it so I will give it a look

Track Mania Nations Forever - Good arcade racer can build your own track as well

Microsoft: Flight - I never played it but seen it, it does look good and people who like flight sims but microsoft looks like the makeing money off the DLC (more Planes)

Hawken - will look it up

Warface - same as above

Ghost Recon: Online - I played all the other Ghost recon's so I don't really need to play the online one

Hawken looks to be the coolest of all those games listed.

I knew some of the games on the list, but not all of them. I have to agree with the crowd though: Hawken is the most exciting on the list! Memories of an old game(One Must Fall: 2097) which I remember playing as a kid is what popped up when I first heard of Hawken a couple of months ago. Nostalgia, does it ever end? I am just waiting for the beta to begin!

APB, DCUO, Flight, NFS:W, TMNF. Either the genre or the individual game does not interrest me and most gamers have either played or heard of wow, so there is no need for me to state why I do not wish to return to that game.

Tribes: Ascend seemed like a fun game yet it did not keep me interrested for long unlike TF2 which I will gladly recommend.
As for the other shooters, I will have to take a look since this is the first time I heard of those. The same is true for RotmG.

A lot of those have been out for a long time and the ones I haven't heard of didn't make too big of an impression. It is a good list if you are bored and have nothing to do over the summer and have no money to spend big games though. One I actually still play sometimes is Tribes which is pretty fun for a quick shooting game with unique gameplay (the gliding).

This says tribes is still in beta, pretty sure they stopped being a beta game for awhile now.

APB was pretty fun during beta, bugs in all. Never tried it since it failed and went F2P.

I can't wait for Crytek's Warface to release or go into open beta.
