You've probably found yourself in the same situation as I have, so in the purpose of all of us helping each other, I've decided to start this list topic. It's simple really, just give links to Freeware games, and or freeware game lists (Such as The Independent Gaming Database).
As a little sidenote, this isn't a place to discuss particular games, that's why the videogame subforum exists, so if you want to discuss a game, you can make a thread about it. If you want to give a short description of it, or reply to encourage others to try said game, it's fine, as long as it doesn't turn int a conversation dedicated solely to that game.
With all that said, let the games, BEGIN.
The Independet Gaming Source - Really, this ought to be self explanatory, but in case you aren't aware, this site is dedicated to news of the Indie scene. There are tons of links to free games and some amazing insight into the whole shebang. Home to the so called "Compo"s, competitions in which people make games under certain guidelines. The latest one as the time of writing is "Adult/Educational games" so be careful around those posts, as they might be a bit too risqué, even if the aim is to be funny. Edit: Well, okay, the Adult / Education compo has been over for a long time. Still, there might be some risque content over there, so browse that site in moderation. -Blitzzo
The Indie Game Database - Now this is where the fun starts to concentrate. The name gives it away, it's a database of indie games, you can search by tags and find new games almost constantly, check it out.
Jay is Games - You've probably seen this one already, these guys review casual and online games. They have a big catalog of reviews, which means a stroll down the archives could lead you to 5 hours of mindless playing.
Kongregate - This one is a typical flash game site, not unlike Newgrounds. This one has the difference that it has badges, which are like achievements for select quality games. Addictive!
DigiPen Institute of Technology - This is a school focused on graphics design, computer software, but most importantly, games. This is the place where the Portal crew were found, so it means that it's full of innovative and crazy games. If you have a good computer, and want a new experience, definately get in here.
Experimental gaming to the max!
Trackmania - A gravity defying racing game with many players from this community. You can get a free version sans customization features, which leaves you with nothing but the core game. Of course you can play custom maps and all.
Ok, that's as much as I can remember, so you guys go on and add more, so we can all keep on playing!
