Friday Freeloader Roundup

There are too many free games this week for us to focus on just one, so we’ll do an old-fashioned roundup for your perusal.

Team Fortress 2

The biggie this week is, of course, Team Fortress 2, Valve’s four-year-old team-based first-person shooter, which the company announced on Thursday would be completely free to play forever. Unlike most micro-transaction based games, though, every map and class is unlocked for free-to-play users for unlimited free gameplay, with the only cash being generated by optional cosmetic “hats” and other weapons and accessories available via the in-game store.

Steam Free2Play Titles

In addition to Valve’s multiplayer darling, a barrage of other micro-transaction-based Free2Play titles was launched on Steam last week. They vary in quality and genre, but try out a couple and see what resonates with you. Here’s a full list of the games available:

1.) Global Agenda: Free Agent

2.) Champions Online: Free For All

3.)  Spiral Knights

4.) Alliance of Valiant Arms

5.) Forsaken World

Proun

Our final featured free title is Proun, an indie psychedelic racing game that looks to bring a unique take to the genre. Now, the game is made available for download totally free, but the dev is using a “pay-what-you-want” policy, so throw some cash his way if you end up liking what you play: you can even play now and pay later if you so choose.
