- TheAngryMob, on 07/22/2008, -0/+42Guess no one told Gamesradar that this is a leap year?
- Zounas, on 07/21/2008, -1/+16I have played some of these before but Frets on Fire got me. It is keyboard-equivalent for Guitar Hero and kinda addicting especially when you get your fav commercial songs *cough* torrents *cough*. You play with F1-F5 and shift holding the keyboard like a guitar. It's rewarding when you are able to play some Children of Bodom songs almost perfectly. Slayer is a whole another story... It's also open-source.
- drunkmuppet, on 07/21/2008, -13/+26Meh... I'll stick to CoD4.
- LMN8R, on 07/22/2008, -0/+10gamesradar.com/pc *is* PC Gamer :-)
- koenigje, on 07/22/2008, -1/+11You mean you looked at boobs, came, and left disappointed.
- GravyTrain6, on 07/22/2008, -1/+11Did MakiMaki just submit every article from that website, because this is the 3rd one on the front page in the last couple hours. Besides that, the articles are pretty much lame.
- SSCrow, on 07/22/2008, -1/+11Infinity Ward > Treyarch.
- moonasha, on 07/22/2008, -0/+8I came, I looked for boobs, I left disappointed.
- retrovertigo, on 07/22/2008, -2/+9Not a bad list of free games!
- Marglar, on 07/22/2008, -1/+8CoD6 is what you want to look forward to.
There are two teams that work on the CoD games - EA wants to milk it while it's popular, so they've decided to release one cod game per year. Infintry ward handled CoD4, and they will handle CoD6.. - RainStreet, on 07/22/2008, -0/+6Also, FoF is way more fun if you have the Xbox360 Guitar Hero Explorer USB guitar. Windows will automatically install the driver for it when you plug it in. Just edit the key configuration in FoF settings and you're good to go. I don't have an Xbox360, but I picked up said guitar controller at a used game shop. I know someone made a driver for OSX. Dunno about Linux.
- godinster, on 07/22/2008, -1/+7Get a real OS?
- zosoIV, on 07/22/2008, -0/+5Third time I've seen that thumbnail today.
- vertimyst, on 07/22/2008, -1/+6Some of these look fun, but I probably won't ever play them...
And is it just me, or do a lot of these look like the same game? All colorful polygonal shapes and stuff. Mostly the ones on the top of the list. - inactive, on 07/22/2008, -0/+5PC Gamer (the magazine) = GamesRadar
As in www.pcgamer.com redirects to www.gamesradar.com/pc
As in it is likely that identical articles will appear in the magazine and on the website. - cjh24, on 07/22/2008, -0/+4i was playing those games like 6 years ago, revolutionary
- lordrahl, on 07/22/2008, -0/+4dugg for the Truck Dismount, and Stair Dismount!!
- bigmarc27, on 07/22/2008, -0/+4I wish I could find a free download of Bad Mojo - that game kicked ass.
- DonLinguine, on 07/22/2008, -0/+4I guess that's the standard thumbnail for gamesradar. I've seen it on every submission that links to them.
Bewbs - bratterscain, on 07/22/2008, -0/+4I'm hooked as well. I'd recommend the Alarian mod, get it from the FoF site to make it a lot more like Guitar Hero and more interesting. For the keys, I use QWER*spacebar*, seems more natural.
Other games I'd recommend are Trackmania and Wolfenstein: ET, a couple of my favs. - mrgodai, on 07/22/2008, -1/+5Thanks for the list and there goes my productivity.
- P373Y, on 07/22/2008, -1/+5cod 3 was crap
- Joomal, on 07/22/2008, -1/+5Dugg for Rose and Camellia
"“This is the elegant art of feminine conflict,” according to the site. In other words, it’s a third-person Victorian slap-fighting game made in Japan."
"Across the mouth!" - Mitsukai, on 07/22/2008, -0/+4Re: article thumbnail-
Horny fanboy? Don't waste your time searching DeviantArt when GamesRadar already does the dirty work for you! - MrBogard, on 07/22/2008, -0/+4EA doesn't want to milk Call of Duty, since Activision publishes it. People can't wait to knock EA down a peg, even when they're not remotely involved.
They also dropped the "5" from Treyarch's next game, it's simply called, "Call of Duty: World at War" now. Too bad they can't retroactively go back and remove the "3" from COD3, and set the record straight.
I'll play World At War's campaign, but COD4's multiplayer will likely remain more popular, and will likely remain a better game on the whole. - skrowl, on 07/22/2008, -0/+4CoD5 is back to stupid ass WW2. I hope it flops so they'll stick with modern for CoD6.
- Cimlite, on 07/22/2008, -1/+5You might need a "real" OS for work... but this is not 365 spreadsheets or whatever. It's games.
While Windows might have a lot of flaws, it is the only real gaming OS. - djHBRD, on 07/22/2008, -0/+3Dugg for Stepmania
- Lith25, on 07/22/2008, -0/+3I've seen that same picture for atleast 3 stories on the front page just this morning...
- deweyhewson, on 07/22/2008, -0/+3With the Alarian mod you can make it look darn close to Guitar Hero 3, too.

Edit: Ah, someone mentioned it above me. Well here's the link anyway. - Foenetik, on 07/22/2008, -0/+3I Am Jesus - Projectile combat game where you play Jesus fighting off enemies who throw spears or sandals. hell yeah! some of these game premises are hilarious.....the wu-tang baby one also comes to mind.
- peen, on 07/22/2008, -0/+3Dugg for Toblo

I heard the guys who made it are totally sweet. - COLDshiver, on 07/21/2008, -4/+7This was also in PC gamer :D
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3Cave Story.
Best free game ever. - DarkKnight209, on 07/22/2008, -0/+2I demand one extra for a leap year
- jholden42, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2The fact that the list doesn't include Kingdom of Loathing, which might as well be the seminal largely-graphics-free MMO in the no-graphics MMO list (while including Twilight Heroes, a game descended from it) is appalling; worse, however, is the absence of Nethack, more or less the king of roguelike games, in the section containing several other roguelikes.
For shame, gamesradar.. for shame. - BugMeNot2, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Toblo, Rumble Box, and Toribash are awesome.
- RunJun, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Everyone must download and try Toribash. I actually bought the game when it wasn't free to download last year. I'm glad it still up and going. I just started playing again. If you see Krunk say hi.
- otros, on 07/22/2008, -0/+2The Gibson wireless also works if you have the wireless thing that comes with the 360 controller (also sold on its own)
- bansi, on 07/22/2008, -0/+2Great list, thanks for putting it together.
- Cimlite, on 07/22/2008, -0/+2Japanese Female Slap Fighting games is the next big thing... that's for sure.
- RoboB0b, on 07/22/2008, -0/+2If you read the description instead of looking at the picture it says it was made by the same people that made Alien Hominid.
- NJank, on 07/22/2008, -0/+2can that list be sorted in any way?
Wanted to see if Continuum was listed. Nothing like a free multiplayer space shoot-em-up that's been running online for over a decade. (used to be called Subspace)
http://www.getcontinuum.com/ - Kragnerac, on 07/22/2008, -0/+2Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and Tremulous are the stuff.
- XeneticXero, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1CoD: World At War =/= Cod5
- jehan60188, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1interesting...
- leonardoty, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1Where is Shaiya?
- malibusurf, on 07/22/2008, -1/+2Its good to see some freeware games getting some exposure, i know for sure that Frets on Fire is excellent -it has full support for X360 guitars and is a must for anyone who loves Guitar Hero as its fully customizable and has an unprecidented number of tracks available (admittedly some are beyond terrible in their implementation.)
Remember its not only the big studios that make fun games, and by supporting the little guys you might help uncover the next Shigeru Miyamoto/Kojima etc! - patm1987, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1It was nice to see a bunch of DigiPen games on the first page, but they left out Slushball:
