Re: Whats your favourite free game?

I honestly tried Battle for Wesnoth and was enjoying it until the game ended as i ran out of turns...spoilt the game rotten for me so i never touched it again.

Favourite free game right now would have to be Spring RTS with Balanced Annihilation running on it -> I'm a sucker for RTS games....even if i do suck largely at them!

Re: Whats your favourite free game?

Again I would have a hard time calling out an all time favourite, but I have spent a shockingly long amount of time with XMoto, even though I would be lucky to get past even one third of the maps. There is something alluringly disturbing about the way you can impale your digitized proxy and he will just twitch and not bleed, or the way you can break your skull in without actually depicting it being broken. And people complained about Doom being violent. I can not help but find myself laughing when people try to categorize it as a "peaceful game".

Then of course there is also the venerable XEvil, a game that was actually trying to be disturbing.

Re: Whats your favourite free game?

Urban Terror would be my Pick. Don't know why I enjoy it so much but I always seem to come back to it.

Dofus also has its moments for me even if I don't play it much.

Wesnoth is great but I agree with liamdawe I don't Like the turn limits.

Not to call you out Sir, but I think what Liam was referring to was actually free software games, not freeware ones like Dofus. Actually, one could also ague that Urban Terror is also in the same category, as it does not release its media and has been somewhat combative with the free software community.

Actually it doesn't matter to me - freeware is still free ;).

I'm pretty chilled out about stuff not being open source.

Re: Whats your favourite free game?

Yeah I hated the limit on the amount of turns to begin with but once you have got used to playing it, you start to make more efficient use of your turns. When I play now thinking about how many turns I have left doesn't even come to mind, I find the turn limits ample.
For some reason i haven't tried Spring but i did enjoy playing Warzone 2100 for a bit.

Re: Whats your favourite free game?

I can't really choose a favourite. There aren't many games I finished completely anyway. So I'll just list the first ones coming to my mind that I enjoyed. :)

Favourite FOSS games: Metal Blob Solid / "Beneath a steel sky" and "Flight of the amazon queen" (FOSS? It's in the Ubuntu repositories.) / Supertux / Wesnoth / Globulation 2

(Yay, registering and posting to take part in the contest! :P)
