This is the first of a (hopefully) continuing series discussing the best of the best in the world of free games. In this post, we will be looking at a few of the superior free singleplayer games.

Are you short on cash? Maybe you need a action game for a quick fix. Or maybe you just want to try something unique. Enter the world of free and indie games, a magical place unfortunately polluted by many terrible games. How do you find the gems shining in the dark void of bad games? I'm here to help. Most of the games on this list resemble full retail games. Here are just a few of the many worthwhile free games on the net.

-Echoes

This frantic omnidirectional shooter obviously takes inspiration from Geometry Wars. One interesting feature is the inclusion of a health meter, so no cheap one-hit deaths here. The pace is breakneck and goes until your ship is destroyed or you have a seizure from the sheer insanity. :P Highly recommend. Download it here.

-de Blob

de Blob(Yes, the "de" is lowercase:P) is a crazy little game. You are de Blob! Roll around your bland, colorless city, dyeing it as you go! Strangely addictive and cute. Lack of a save feature hurts this one, but considering that an updated verision of this game is being released for the Wii and DS, you'd be smart to try this game for free. It's as strange and as fun as it sounds. Roll out!

-Frets on Fire

This game rocks out loud! :D It's a shameless Guitar Hero clone, but you should consider the download even if you own the popular music game. Literally HUNDREDS of user-created songs are out there, and an easy-to-use track editor means you can craft a chart for your favorite song too.

Rock out for free m/.

Get tons of tracks here.

So there you have it. I've barely touched the surface, but I hope this guide helps. Look for the best of free multiplayer games soon.

Out.

I think so. I present for your entertainment...

The Apocalyptic Game About Penguins.

Not only does it have the best title ever, but it's suprisingly fun. It's free, so give it a shot. You have to nothing lose and penguins to gain.:D

to play Big Rigs? Watch this new video: Alex And Big Rigs.

Hilarious! :lol:

Just finished watching "Mars Attacks". I had forgotton how hilarious it is.:lol: Truly a movie that will always stand the test of time. :D

The Best Picture Ever. For now, anyways. :lol:

:lol: Pretty awesome. :lol:

Black is the worst color

And better dead than red.

Those who are yellow are cowards

And Pink is gay it is said.

Purple's the color of Barney

And Green is the color of vomit.

White is plain, and quite boring.

And Brown is the co- wait, no comment.

All around this strange, strange world

A million colors you'll find.

But many of them are revolting;

I'm so glad that I'm colorblind.:P

Every time Gamespot gives a game an extremely low score, joke reviews start popping up for that game. Deal or No Deal is no exception. Some of these can be quite entertaining. Just hope that no poor fool takes them seriously.:P

EDIT: Trust the reviews to be deleted after I post this. :?

Insanity! Madness! Wow, Through The Fire and the Flames is in GHIII. This takes the place of Jordan as hardest GH song ever.

It's finally here. Games, conferences, excitement o' plenty. I do envy the Gamespotters their ticket inside, but at the same time, it's enjoyable just to stay in the privacy of your own home and absorb all of Gamespot's fantastic coverage. I don't know about you, but I'm on the edge of my seat.

There are some things I've noticed in my day-to-day life that have just got to change. Too many people take for granted the gift that is their fragile body. I was taking a walk the other day when I saw something I will never forget. I wanted to scream, but I had no voice. You'd think it would be common sense not to kiss a dog while it's sneezing. And pregnant mothers! How many times do I have to say it; stay out of tuberculosis wards! Lastly, you should never, in any circumstance, allow small children to run with sharp sticks in their eyes. I am posting this, hoping for change. But alas, this change will probably never come.
