Free Game Friday: Fallout Boy Trail

A lovingly-crafted parody of Oregon Trail, themed to Fallout Boy. There are some nice attempts at Guitar Hero like play, and some really poor attempts at shooter mechanics, but the game sure is funny. I died on the side of the road after my van was capsized by surf zombies. My chicken nuggets sank and […]

Free Game… Sunday? Tetoris.

I’ve really been slacking with Free Game Friday recently. I’ll try to do better. Anyway, here’s this week’s game – two days late and without a picture. Tetoris is a giant giant game of Tetris. Imagine if the board was about twenty times bigger. Insanity. Play Tetoris

Free Game Friday: Don’t Poop Your Pants

…except the name of the game does not have the word “poop” in it. Yeah, it’s juvenile. Yeah, it reminds me of some of the crude text adventures I’d played on my Commodore 64 when I was 14. And it bills itself as “survival horror”. But it’s old school in that it’s not easy. A […]

Free Game Friday: Treelings

Treelings isn’t a very difficult game. I beat it in 2 or 3 minutes, and I’m not even sure there’s a way to die. But it’s very zen – kind of like Fl0w – and the hypnotic drum beat will stick in your head for the rest of the evening after you play. Play Treelings

Free Game Friday: Assteroidz – Diamond Dave Edition

Assteroidz is a strange but playable Asteroids clone that tries to turn the weirdness up to 11 by reskinning the original game with a Van Halen theme.  It seems a little more challenging after a few levels than the original Asteroids.  Being a not-so-serious game, it’s perfect to fill a few moments of free time […]

Free Game Friday: Closure

Closure is a cute little puzzle platformer wherein light is key. You’ll quickly learn that if something is in the dark, it essentially doesn’t exist. In that way, it’s similar to PSN’s Echochrome, which I very much loved. Play Closure

Free Game Friday: Achievement Unlocked

This is a pointless yet enjoyable game. The goal is to earn all 99 achievements, and some are as easy as “move left”. But others are harrd. When looking at my 1436 second time, please consider that I went and read my daughter two books without pausing. Play Achievement Unlocked

Free Game Friday: Way of the Exploding Stick

The name of this game was based off an old Commodore 64 game which I loved, Way of the Exploding Fist. This version has you battling wave after wave of vicious stick figure thugs. The keyboard controls take some getting used to, but it’s worth it to kick mucho stick figure ass. Play Way of […]

Free Game Friday: Turbotanks

I’ve played more Turbotanks than I’d really like to admit. It’s similar to the old Atari 2600 Combat in many ways, but the levels are varied and interesting. It also gets a lot tougher as you go, and as you have to fight more enemy tanks in more difficult terrain. It’s more than a one-hit-kill […]

Free Game Friday: Hexxagon

Hexaggon is a kind of Othello remake. It’s incredibly addictive, and the AI on the computer player is very well done. I’ve been playing this game on Neave for many years, and I’m glad to bring you such a solid recommendation. Play Hexxagon
