Thanks, Wabbit. Put this in my Desura folder. Those "critters" are interesting.

The game giveaway for April 21st: Mad Shapes

Also Mad Shapes 2

The site where I found these also has numerous other games: Physics Games

Bullet train:

Here's nice little cartoon shooter based on a train. Developed by Box Top Games Bullet Train is a fast pace first person shooter about defending a train full of cargo from creatures in the harsh desert. Run up and down the train fighting off tumbleweed spiders and rock titans to try and keep your cargo in prime condition. At each station you reach you will be able to buy new weapons and upgrades as well as place turrets along the side of your train. You can use the turrets yourself to get right in on the action or just sit back and let your turret army take care of some of those critters for you. This was a student project done at Full Sail University with a 2 month design and 3 month development time frame to make the game.

Here's what the developers said about the game over on their site at Unigamecity

Created by Box Top Games, Bullet Train is a pretty fun indie first person shooter title that literary climbs you on top of a cargo train in a fantasy setting and challenges you to defend the cargo at all costs, blasting away all the critters that try to get on board uninvited. Bullet Train is available for download for free, which makes it an even better game than it is!

Run up and down the train fighting off tumbleweed spiders and rock titans to try and keep your cargo in prime condition. At each station you reach you will be able to buy new weapons and upgrades as well as place turrets along the side of your train. You can use the turrets yourself to get right in on the action or just sit back and let your turret army take care of some of those critters for you.

The visuals of the game make me remember the classic XIII game (which means that it looks as if the entire action takes place in a comic book) and even though there are no monsters like the ones we’re used to killing in regular first person shooters, Bullet Train provides some fun while it lasts and an interesting gameplay setting, so it is definitely worth your time. Especially since it’s free to download (I feel that I must keep saying that).

Bullet Train is a student project done at Full Sail University and the game was created in 5 months. You can head over to Desura now and download this game for free. And don’t forget to share with us your thoughts on the project!

You can see video of game play HERE, HERE and HERE.

Download:

You can download Bullet Train officially oly from Desura at the moemnt, which means you will need to install the client. As mentioned previously, if you've bought any of the Humble bundles and some of the other bundles you will have quite a few commercial games already to download from Desura, though of course you should also have got DRM free copies of those games and Steam keys in most cases. However, after checking out Desura for some time now i'm quite impressed with the service. With over 70 free games to download (at least 20 of which we've already posted elsewhere in these forums, and the rest i'll be posting details of soon, plus all of the latest indie games, many of which i've not seen before and the linking of mods to other games already installed on my computer, I'm beginning to warm to the client. It doesn't interfere with anything and gives access to all of your games much like other clients of this type. The download page is HERE

Play it in a darkened roon in the dead of night and you'll jump out of your skin at every turn. :)

Yes it is. I've checked out quite a few of the free games and can say get Desura now becasue loads of the games are very good quality games [:)]

You know, I never even gave Desura a thought because of my bandwidth limit. That's a big long list, Wabbit.

Gonna check out Killing Floor first..from the BeMine Bundle..I think..(way too many bundles). Thanks Wabbit.

Wow, that one looks awfully dark. Thanks, Wabbit.

Here's a music based browser game called Epic Sax

http://www.pippinbarr.com/games/epicsaxgame/EpicSaxGame.html

Finally got around to posting some images. I've also included a slideshow of over 90 images.

I'd not really bothered to use Desura until recently even though we've been given quite a lot of Desura keys for many of the Indie games that I've already got via Steam, so it seems absurd to install them via another client, that is until I happened to purchase one via Kickstarter that installed via Desura. That was a few weeks ago. I was very surprised to fine they had quite a collection of freeware games , some of which have already been posted here in these forums, but quite a few have yet to be included in the free games project. I will be posting details and images of all of those games (apart from the ones that have already been posted most recently by txgoogoo)

I though I'd start with Savage: The Battle for Newerth, but I also though I'd list all of the other games that are available via Desura. You will need to create a free account if you haven't already. I'm sure some of you who have contributed towards the Humble Bundles, Indie Gala, Indie Royale's bundles as well as others may have already installed the client, so it'll be much quicker to start downloading the games. Basically all you need to do is click on the Games tab along the top tool bar then scroll down through the list of games. There are 16 pages of games most of which will have one or more free games to download. I must say that most of them are absolutely fantastic games and well worth adding to your games library. I thought I'd post a list of all the free ones then post more details about each one with screen shots and video of each game over the next several weeks. Just over 20 or so of the games below have been previously posted, though some without images, so I may repost those.

There's a total of 70 free games available from the site. I've asterixed those I'm sure we've posted details of in the forums previously.

Here's the first of many games I'll be posting over the next several weeks. All of the games are easily found from Desuras game list.

Savage: The Battle for Newerth is an excellent game that's been freeware for some time. The game play includes tactical strategy element and FPS game play. It is a multiplayer game, but well worth playing. There are loads of mods for this game s you'll find a wide range of map types. You can find a tutorial on how to make maps for the game via Desura HERE.

Savage: The Battle for Newerth:

Choose to be a commander and you will play an in-depth RTS managing the stronghold, or choose to be a warrior and you will play an intense game of first person combat. With the creation of a new game play genre, RTSS (Real Time Strategy Shooter), Savage expertly redefines the first-person shooter and real-time strategy genres by combining elements of both into one cohesive experience. As the commander in RTS mode, you will tackle resource management, develop a robust tech tree, plan your assault and lead real human players into battle. As a warrior in action mode, you will master many unique weapons, powerful units, and siege vehicles to fight a fast paced battle. Set in a unique fantasy world eons from now where Humans and Beasts battle violently foru their very existence. Savage transports PC gamers to the next level in multi-player gaming.

Here's a review by Brighty:

I've been playing this game for about 18 months now and it's awesome. Each team has one commander, who plays the game like an RTS and coordinates team strategy. The rest of the team play on the field: mining, building, scouting and fighting (the combat is a combination of shooter and melee). I love the distinct teams (human and beast), the melee combat is the best I have experienced in an online game & the RTS commanding aspect is unique.

Video & Images:

You can find video of game play HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE and there's over 90 images shown as a slideshow HERE

Download:

You can get this game via Desura totally for free HERE, though you will require the Desura client to install the game. I'm not sure, but I do think there is a standalone download available. reverseOrder mentioned this in passing when posting about the sequel to this game about four years ago.

Reapers End instalments One to Four (109MB to 227MB)

Reapers End 1-4 are the first four instalments in a ten part series of free mini games from Incognito Game Studios. The game is simple, in the first instalment you must survive enough waves of zombies before the Reaper will appear, you must then defeat the Reaper, once you do so you win. The developer asks that you 'like' their facebook page if you like the game. In the second instalment of Reapers End you are in a larger area and you do not have any guns. You have only a sword and you must kill all the zombies and then the Reaper to win. To make things a bit more fair we have added a health unit that you can use to heal your self slowly but dont take to long or you will be over run.

In the third instalment you find yourself trapped in an old mansion and you must make your way through the mansion in order to find the reaper and kill it to end the nightmare and escape and in the fourth instalment you find yourself trapped in an old asylum and you must make your way through the asylum in order to find the reaper and kill it to end the nightmare and escape.

You can download the first instalment of Reapers End HERE, the second HERE, the third HERE and the fourth HERE

The last installment (fourth) was released some time ago so I'm not sure whether the next six are planned or whether the developer has moved on to other things or whether they just needed a break while their latest game was under development (soon to be released). Still, the four games are pretty good for free. If you like this sort of game I highly recommend you purchase the game Killing floor, which was originally a free mod developed for the Half Life 2 engine but was later improved and created as a free standing game. hich has become very popular since it's release in 2010. There are a couple of hundred maps available for free and the game retails usually at £14.99 or £21.43 if you want all of the dlc, tohugh most of the dlc is just extra skins for your charater and really doesn't add to the game (Killing Floor Outbreak Character Pack, Killing Floor: Nightfall Character Pack, Killing Floor: PostMortem Character Pack, Killing Floor "London's Finest" Character Pack, Killing Floor: Steampunk Character Pack, Killing Floor - Steampunk Character Pack 2).

It's well worth waiting for one of Steams excellent sales when virtually every game available is on sale. you can get killing floor for as much as 75% off then. alternatively there are other zombie games such as the two Left 4 Dead games, both of which are even more polished than Killing floor and both also have hyndreds of maps available to download for free. A harder game would be Resident Evil 5 and the two Dead Rising games . If you want something a little more soldier oriented then the two NecroVision games are a must have (First World War trench warfare etc), or even the excellent Paikiller series. Some of the original development team and some moddes got together early last year to create a fourth game and recently a fifth was added to the series. (cost between approx £4.50 to £9 each). all of these games are available on Steam, and the easter sales should be starting next week. :)

When I say FPS I don't mean first person shooter but first person sword, lol. The two part game was developed by Eysodic Games.

You play as Esequiel a young mage, One night the castle in which you live and are thought in comes under attack from necromancers as they attempt to assassinate the arch mage. They nearly succeed the arch mage is gravely injured and is dying and it’s up to you to save him. You must find the blood of a divine god to use to save the arch mage. Blood of the Divines 1 was released in two parts, Episode 1 and Episode 2.

You can download both episodes HERE

Couldn't find any videos. May create one later.

"Hi RosnSc, sorry, totally missed your post."

Hi WR - looks like I did the same with you; totally missed your post...lol. I hear you about the Facebook games. They *can* become quite addictive, and thusly time consuming. I do play several of them, but split my time up so that I'm not sitting here, for hours on end, playing...(chuckle). I also only play 2 of them everyday. I don't use Facebook just for games, though, but also to keep up with far-away family members (long-lost family that I found on Facebook, btw <G>).

The Snowfield:

In The Snowfield you are a lone soldier wandering the aftermath of a great battle. It is the dead of winter and you won't last long in the cold. But you are not alone.

Research Statement
The Snowfield represents an attempt to make a simulation-based narrative game according to a special method for developing such games, a method designed to avoid the need for complex A.I. or massive content generation. The idea was not to relying on codified narrative theories or formulas - like three-act structures, etc. - but rather assume "what makes a good story" cannot be systematized and instead must be arrived at organically via extensive user testing.

The method involved designing and creating many different "building blocks" - characters, behaviors, and/or objects - that stories could be made out of. Through observation of how players played with them in early builds, increasingly fine-tuned decisions were made that would push towards a final product. In other words, The Snowfield is an experiment in seeing how inverting the traditional relationship between Design and QA can streamline a development process for creating highly improvisational, simulation-based narrative worlds on a tight schedule.

Minimum Recommended Requirements:

Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Mac OSX 10.6 and above.
Intel Dual Core Processor (or equivalent)

Here's an excellent browser based game that was voted the fourth best browser game last year by The Gadget Show, a UK baed program that reviews tech apps and games etc. You can play the game called Scary Girl, a side scrolling platformer with surisingly good graphics for a browser game HERE

Here's a browser game that's advertised on Nickelodeon at the moment called Monkey Quest, a good looking platform puzzle game that's well worth checking out. You can find it HERE. You do need to create an free account to play.

Need A Smile? Then Cut The Rope :)

Thanks to Gizmo's newsletter I found this cute game.

http://www.cuttherope.ie/

Be warned, it's very addictive.
It's made for IE9 but for me it's running also with Firefox 9. Read the comments of other users, it seems that there are bonus levels for IE - I didn't come so far yet.

Hi RosnSc, sorry, totally missed your post. I did start to play the game when I got into facebook games earlier this year, but found Cityville, CitiZen and Mafia II took up most of my time so didn't play Frontierville much. I found I was spending far too much time playing these games so stopped signig into my facebook account around April just to avoid them. they were just too addictive, lol.

The following browser game may appeal to those who like beat em up games. it's called MMMA Pro fighter. you can find it HERE

Also check out Millionaire City which you can find HERE and Zombie Lane HERE. I played Zombie Lane via facebook for a while. not a bad game if you persevere.

All three games are distributed by Digital Chocolate, who recently bought up Sandlot Games.

Thanks Chazzo.

Just finished this. I have to say, for a free game it's very good. It had me jumping right up to the last level!

I tried to play without the patch as it deletes two levels, but it kept freezing.
Overall a good effort although there were still a lot of bugs even with the patch, freezes/hangs, getting stuck on/under furniture and zombies 'ragdolling'

Also, there was an annoying tendency to kick you back to the desktop with line errors on loading saved games.

Still, as I said terrific fun and quite scary lol.
Thanks Chazzo :)

P.S. Just checked, the patch deletes levels 4 & 9.

OK. The review, itself, scared me. Not sure if I am up for this one.Might have to sleep on this one. Thanks, Chazzo.
