101 Free PC Games

"Computer Gaming World" may now be "Games for Windows: The Official Magazine", but they haven't forgotten the little guys. Straight from the new issue, 1up is hosting an impressive list of 101 freebie PC games. Every genre and topic you can think of is covered by the exhaustive exploration of 'free'. From the article: "We've tracked down another 101 absolutely, positively, no-strings-attached free games that are actually worth playing, grouped them into handy categories, and put most of 'em up on FileFront.com. There's something here for everyone, from RPGs to real-time strategy to Asteroids Flash games, though we have to confess up front: There are actually more than 101 free games here. So no complaining that you're not getting your money's worth." My favorites include Ninja Loves Pirate , Tripline , Iris (HL2 Mod), Super Mario: Blue Twilight DX , and Star Control II .

    Yeah, I know Vista will let you play them, but not easily if you want to have parental controls on.

    It's been years since I seen a copy "101 Free BASIC Games" on the bookshelf.

    I think calling mods to a game, free games, is a bit of a stretch. They're only free if you already own the original game. Hell, the main reason I bought half life 2 was anticipation of mods for it.

    Likewise, I think calling games to an OS, free games, is a bit of a stretch. They're only free if you already own the original OS. Hell, the main reason I bought windows was anticipation of games for it.

    Moral: What is a comprehensive Unreal Tournament 200x mod other than an operating system on which games can run?
