Can't Afford a Console? Play Online Games for Free!

Finding Free Games to play online is easy, they're everywhere. The real problem is separating the wheat from the chaff so to speak. For every 100 Flash games out there, maybe 1 or 2 of them are worth the time they take to load. Websites like Kongregate, Armor Games, or NewGrounds will do a pretty good job of picking out the gems with their rating systems, but this still leaves hundreds if not thousands of games to choose from. And we're only talking about Flash games at this point.

There are also several game studios out there who have released multiplayer games that are free to play. These usually have higher production values, and are great if multiplayer is your thing.

With that said, I've decided to make a list of some of my personal favorites. Calling it the Top 10 All-Time Greatest Free Games or something to that effect, would be pretty pointless because everyone obviously has their own opinion. These are just some of the games from the past few years that particularly stood out, and I had fun while playing them.

A quick not about the following games. Whenever possible, I try to link to the actual game developer's site in an effort to help them gain exposure. These aren't huge companies, but rather individual developers or small independent teams trying to catch a break. So if you like any of them, be sure to give them a stumble, digg, or whatever might help them out!
