This week see’s the start of a collaboration between myself and Wizzard of Oz, who has kindly agreed to help me with the free weekday games project. I must admit that I was getting very jaded posting games virtually every day, even when I needed to rest, or do other thing. Yeah, I know, I could easily had not bothered, but once starting such a project I feel there's some responsibility to be taken and I did feel that not posting would let people down. Which I suppose I did when the connection problems occured the other week. This may have been evident to some by the fact that it took me nearly two weeks to fix it, thus suspending the project until I got back online. Hopefully with two of us that should no longer happen.
From this week we will be sharing responsibility for posting free games. For the first week we will be posting a game each every other day except Friday when we have decided to post a game each (you lucky gamers lol), then from next week (Mon 24th November), Wizzard will post games each day for a week, then I will the following week and so on until we either get fed up, others offer to help or we run out of suitable freeware and abandonware games. (Which despite large numbers, are finite – there may be thousands available, but only around 5% to 10% of those are probably worth posting in these forums, {qualitative assessment}).
I hope that this meet with everyone’s approval. I personally think it will bring a fresh perspective to the project as Wizzard of Oz will no doubt have differing tastes to my own as well as have found different sources, though I know that some of the games we intend posting have already clashed. That isn’t a problem though as this is for you and not a friendly competition to see who posts what, so we will be sharing what we have, so that no game is posted twice.
We hope to bring you as diverse a range of games as possible within the limitations of what there is available for free. I can say from my own searches that there are particular genres that have abundant supplies of games such as the platform based shooters and the older RPG style games, so please forgive the higher number of these that crop up. I personally am finding it difficult finding many decent free puzzle games apart from lots of Sudoku games, lol. Though the majority of the official weekend game giveaways tend to be puzzle games, so hopefully that will counter the skewed offerings.

Disclaimer:
Please remember that all the free games offered during the weekdays are not officially part of the game giveaway project. They are the sole responsibility of me (Whiterabbit) and Wizzard of Oz. The Giveaway team cannot accept any responsibility for any problems arising out of software you have downloaded as a result of posts that are made as part of this project, nor do I or Wizzard of Ozz take responsibility – most of us here are adults after all. - I make certain that all games that I post have been tested on my own computers and have been tested with proprietary Anti Virus programs (PCGuard and F-Secure), though I also try to ensure that the sites you download these games from are awarded green status by the Web of Trust (I no longer use McAfees Site Advisor as I think it’s not as reliable as I once thought)
Anyway, I do hope you find plenty of games that interest you via the free weekday games thread. Happy Gaming
