What makes these freeware games really good? They were all professionally supported by very reputable companies. Now old and defunct, they are open source and free for all to enjoy. I’m not saying the private/general public does not have any talent. But any private company focusing on releasing a game is doing so for profit. By saying that, they dedicate their skills and talent to getting the project done the right way (we would like to hope). Being an amateur game developer myself, I know when you spit out a quick game within an hour or two, it usually needs to be improved on and is no good at first.

Any who, blah blah blah, these game are awesome.

1ST in my list of freeware is:

COMMAND AND CONQUER: RED ALERT

This game is awesome! I and many others like me have spent countless hours in this game during the 90’s. It’s BACK! Really, can you forget Tanya? SHAKE IT BABY! BANG BANG BANG!

2ND on my list is….

F.E.A.R COMBAT

First Encounter Assault Recon

Another sweet title. The Multiplayer verison is freeware and pushed graphics and physics to the limit as the time. Gotta love!, I also spent hours death-matching on this..

Well folks, that’s it for now. Go on, download your files and spend some time with some of gaming history’s great games! And who said all downloading was illegal? HA!

Call of Duty, World At War, by Activision Publishing, Inc.

A great game and there’s an official update. Ok I went too far, it’s not an official update, i’ll call it a map pack. The new multi-player maps are Nightfire, Station, Kneep Deep and Zombie Asylum. The company promisses to have the new maps released by March 09.
