Second, Freeware Japanese games rock. You should play action games though, or you have no idea what their saying.
PS: If you are thinking of getting free games from Zango, forget it. They 'only' install the game you want to play, and while they have great games, they appear to install Adware into your PC as well. I would advise against it, but if you really want to play their games (which are not so bad) i recommend preparing Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware software. If not, just avoid Zango.
Re-Mission
This is a 3D-game based on killing germs and bacteria. Not only is it informative,*gives names of dieseases, germs, body organs...* it can actually rival the level of some of the paid games that we find for sale nowadays. The catch? It has a large size (2GB). The game is made by Hopelab, a charity organisation who will send you a DVD/CD copy of the game for free, no postage or anything. If you can, you should also make a Donation on their site, for raising Cancer awareness and giving this great game for free to the Public.
Liero-Ai
This is a very simple copy of the game Liero, except that it can work on windows XP and possibly Vista?. This game is very fun if you have two humans players to play, however, contrary to the name, the AI Stinks. As in, they will just spam their weapons and when they run out of ammo, they will switch weapons then spam again. So, if you give them a grenade weapon,.... Suicide. Still, its very fun if you have two humans playing.
The Spirit Engine
A Brilliant freeware RPG game. This game has wonderful music, a unique battle system, and a lot of variety. When you begin the game, you get to choose 3 out of 9 characters, each with a different class and speciality/weakness. There are five different worlds, each with their own challenges. The manual is also nicely done,Titled the spirit engine Compedium, with ingame screens and info.
Many multitudes of words cannot describe this game's awesomeness (is that a word?). But even if your not a fan of RPG games, due to the fact that you have to 'Train your character', also known as grinding, you should at least check out TSE's soundtrack, which is offered for free on the Natomic Site.
Ice Wars (Digipen.edu Gallery 2003-2004)
This game is similar to worms, yet not so. You play in a turn based fashion, where you assign moves to your penguins, seals or walruses and predict where your enemy is going to move , and STRIKE! Then, your opponent (computer or otherwise) Assigns his or her moves, and then you press the start button. Both sides will simultaneously act out their orders, which makes proper planning key and adds real strategy factor. It can also lead to hilarious situations where your shots don't always go where you want them to.
Little Fighter 2
Now this is a very interesting game. You play as a character in a 3D like world, where you can move up or down, left or right, or jump and such. You can 'block' by shifting up a bit to make the enemy miss! The vast variety of characters, with hidden characters and armor types and items, make this game a worthwhile download for it's size. The story mode in itself is very well done, but with VS mode, and Battle mode (A special type of VS mode where you have armies) and other types of modes, it is an Excellent download. In addition, due to it's popularity, there are many modifications which give it added playability, Such as the good mod, R-LF2. If anyone has that mod,(unfortunately, the site is gone), please send it to me and i can try to put it up somewhere.
Takatis
Despite the weird sounding name, this is a very good side-scrolling shooter game. You play as a spaceship that just cannot stop moving right (yep, one of those) and you just blast everything out of your way. There are 3 permanant and infinite weapons, and limited weapons like the wave and missles. It has many levels for you to play and obstacles for you to overcome. Overall quite a nice game. Did i mention it's free?
Dark War II
Right, this is a platformer where you play as a .... a.... monster killer? Essentially, you buy guns, and enter a mission. Guns in the mission will have clip sizes and spare ammo, Once you run out, you use another gun, or your relatively useless chainsword to hack and slash enemies. It's a really good platformer with many weapons,like flamer, laser, Auto-Shotgun, etc. It even has a survival mode! Try it, and blast some skeletons and gremlins into smithereens!
Note: Dark War is also a nice game, but with not so good graphics and different weapons.
Notrium
This is one of the most amazing RPG games out there, Essentially, you are a Robot, or a alien, or a psion, or a human, and you crash land on a strange island. Each of these races have different needs and abilities, such as weight limits, ability to lay eggs, only eat electricity, etc. You can combine stuff to create new items, such as weapons and ammo. Finally, you win by any one of possible scenarios, Escape pod, long range radio, and others (hopefully those weren't Spoilers).
It's a nice freeware game.
Gunner 3
Ok, now some of you may think after downloading it, this is just another platformer. If you didn't notice before, i like platformers. I really don't know why. Anyway, this is a normal platformer with a small number of levels and a lot of weapons. It's not that bad, but it isn't a favourite. I've seen worse. It's still pretty fun though.
Die Slave
Weird name right? But I don't Care so much for games as i do content. This is a sidescrolling shooter game (yes, another spaceship) Where you are destroying enemies, for seemingly not particular reason, with awesome weapons. The graphical effects are just Spectacular! While i still don't get the story to this day, who needs a story when your busy ripping enemy ships to shreds?
Eternal Daughter
In my opinion one of the best platform games that is offered for free. In the game, you play as mia, a girl with strange powers, and you play through the game to learn your origins while fighting monsters, bosses, and obtaining new relics to give you new powers. While i still haven't beaten the final boss, the game is very expansive and has a good story line as well. There are even good hidden secrets such as an animated "conversation" between two creators of the game. There is also a hidden zoo for those who can find it.
Beats of rage
Ok, now for those who have played a game called streets of rage, this should be nostalgic. Me, not so much. Still, it's a good sidescrolling beat em up game. Standard, you can punch, kick, jump, and special move, but that's about it. It has also been heavily modified by different people to the point of creating new 'games' like Asterix and Obelix, TMNT, Double dragon, and other stuff. Just check for beats of rage mods.
Silver Knights
Right, now this is cool game with great graphics. You play as a number of different robots, each with different Primary and Secondary guns. They can fly using a Jet boost, shoot, and they have a really awesome looking melee sword attacks. They don't have story mode yet though, although you can still play through VS.
Stick Soldiers
This is a game where you are a stick soldier and you must kill enemies to gain the title Fragmeister. In the sequel, which has better ai, and modifiable kill limit, you can design your own maps and use bullettime. It's a good game to pass time, but that's about it.
Soldat
Ok, now this game is 'Shareware' But the only difference between it and the full version is the startup screen, Demo recording time(recording, not playing) and your Jets flames colour. No real Functionality is lost.This game is a very good 2D version of Counter-strike/Team Fortress, if you've played those games. There is CTF mode, Battle mode, Team mode, Rambo mode, and other stuff. There's no Story mode, but the Bots will be enough to play with. It's that nice. Really.

Gearbolt Rage: Infinite Rage and Destruction Carnival
These two games have a very small size and are easily downloaded onto your computer. They are both action games that are based on survival. They are also the type of games you can start and end on a moment's notice, or even to pass time.
Blip and Blop: Balls of steel
This came out waaaaaay before that stupid ping pong show, so no copyright Disputes or anything. It's a humorous metal slug style parody that makes fun of everything, Pokemon, Care bears, Mario... etc. It's quite fun to play and can be two players as well. Very enjoyable. The inflated gas bag's dialogue is also very fun to read, and makes an excellent stress relief.
Commando and Streambolt
These two games are from the unfortunately now defunct website, fallen angel industries. They are excellent examples of good side scrolling games, one with more realistic weapons, and one that reminds me of Megaman. (you know, the small guy with a gun on his hand.
Factor X
A game Similar to Gearbolt rage and Destruction carnival, but with an actual storyline. Not the best, but it is more killing of enemies, with interesting weapons. Part of this games inventiveness lies in the sub-games which have been created. You can play them under the extras, and while they don't have levels or custom models, they are still fun to play.
Arkoss
WARNING! This game does not have the best graphics and is quite old... about 6+ years, but it is still a good game to play. Now, this is a freeware version like Diablo type games, but is no Diablo. First, there is no background music, and apparently some people find the stepping sounds annoying. You move pretty slowly, so i guess the steps are irritating, although you can disable those sounds. There are 6 different classes to start with, each with a maximum proficiency in each of 4 weapon classes, so you can start with whatever suits you best.Things you should not expect out of this game would be Diablo Level game. IT's Free people. You cannot expect too much out of it. Still, once you get used to the controls and all, it's quite fun. The controls need some getting used to, so you might get frustrated at first, but it is still a really nice game. Quite a good storyline as well.
Wazzal (Formally known as Stars-Supernova)
Now this is one really unique game. The story goes, that the universe has become very advanced and so all the worlds are occupied, and so on. Basically, it is a furturistic type hybrid game. You fly around on fuel, which if it runs out, will leave you drifting in space. You can run into other ships or pirates, and you can make deals with them, loot them, fight them.... After a battle, you would get slaves as cargo :O, money and maybe a ship. If you are not playing on Easy mode, you have to fight for the ship, an added aspect to the game. The Main Quest is not very long, so it won't keep you occupied for too long. But believe me, it's worth investing your time and lack of money, into.
Battle of Yavin/Battle of Endor
Ok, as you've heard, I'm a Self-proclaimed Star wars fan. So Obviously I'm Thrilled at the idea of a free star wars game. Anyway, you play as an X-Wing Fighter, and you fly around shooting down TIE fighters. As the game progresses, you can get a chance to take on star destroyers and Super Star Destroyers and even help demolish THE DEATH STAR!!! (Ominous music plays in the background) Still, there are threats for a puny Xwing like you. You can get hit by an inaccurate TIE fighter, Shot by turrets stuck onto the Death Star or Star destroyers (you can shoot back) and other stuff. I find both of them a fun game to play.
Crayon Caper Rescue by Digipen
This is another innovative game by Digipen instituition of technology. You play as a cute little crayon with paper aeroplane , enemy crayon and sticky tape enemies. You use your Arrow keys to move and your mouse to draw platforms! Innovative or what! It was really fun... while it lasted. There are no real bosses for you to fight and there are very few levels. Still, it is an example of the quality of game Digipen Produces.
Atmosphere
This is another innovative game by Digipen instituition of technology. This racing game is hard to find off google , so you will have to go to the source. Essentially, you play as a ball of 3 Elements. The elements you add in will determine the ball's name, and it's properties: Buoyancy, Luminous, and Magnetic. Each of these characteristics will give you advantages over your opponents: Buoyant balls can float on air jets( shorter path), Luminous balls can navigate ball hole zones, and magnetic balls can Stick to generally long, but extremely safe Metal tracks. There are also In-game powerups to use on your enemies: boost, Sheild and Shoot. Unlike most games from Digipen, this one has Great replayability and is worth keeping on your computer for a long time. (Bug: Sometimes you can't move when the race starts, but most of the time the game is fine. If it happens you may have to reinstall the game)
Temporal Power Racing
This game by Digipen has good ai and good replayability, although Atmosphere still beats it hands down. Anyway, you play as a Space racer (out of 6) and you can change polarity to match the track, speeding you up, or if you're the wrong color, slow you down. You can pick up guns and boosts on your races and there are 5 maps to choose from. Quite a good game.
Jetz 4 Rampage: Revenge
Now This game is incredibly hard to describe. It's like a 2D grand theft auto with a jetpack. You can fly around 2 cities, cause havok and destruction, or you can act as normal as possible (for a sinister looking fellow). I give it 5 Stars. Definitely worth the download. It is a little Gorey though, so i have to warn you. Pity about the author of the game too.
Icy tower
For it's tiny file size, you wouldn't expect it to be so addictive. Essentially, you are a guy trying to get to the top of a randomly generated tower by jumping up and up and up. You cannot fall down or miss a platform, or you'll die. On the other hand, if you keep jumping without stopping, you will get combos which give you extra points. Good game, Please download it!
That's all for now, thanks for Reading!
If you have difficulty finding the game, use google and try "
"Vagabound, Drop my work this instant!"
