Here’s Monday 3rd august 2009’s games. A little late as usual. I seem to have slowed down somewhat over the last few months. Previously I always tried to post the days game at midnight the previous day. You can blame wizzard fro coming up with the giveaway steam community group, lol.
The three games you’ll find below are okay games for free. I particularly like the first one Q-Lat2 and Crossfire Reloaded. Well all three actually, lol. I needed a break from my explorations in the Fallout and Fuel worlds, both of hich are fascinating games. If you haven’t got either of those yet, when you have a spare $30 or $40 I’d go for at least one of those two games. If you like RPG then go for Fallout 3. It’s well supported by the modding community. If you like racing games/rally, then fuel has to be it. :) anyway, I hope you enjoy my selection for today:
