101 Free Games 2011

Even more of the best games money can't buy.

By: Scott Sharkey March 28, 2011

Times are tough and the unemployment rate keeps rising, but maybe it's some consolation that the increasing scarcity of cash money doesn't mean you can't get your gaming fix. Free games just keep on rolling in, to the point that this twice-yearly feature can't actually begin to encompass them all. Nevertheless, we've tried to condense them down to the 101 best of the last half year or so.

If those aren't enough for you, check out our list for the first half of last year, or our collections for 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, and 2006. That should be enough to keep anyone gaming until the economy recovers.

  • Strategy Adventure RPG
  • Platformer Puzzle Shoot-Em-Up
  • WTF Action/Arcade FPS

  • Steel Panthers WAW and MBT are free

    Posted: May 21, 2011 12:00AM PST by  JP_Sartre

    Why Did they not mention Steel Panthers: World at war and Steel Panthers: Main Battle Tank? Both are free from Matrix Games and Shrapnel Games, respectively.

  • So entertaining.

    Why I spend money on games when there is an infinite amount of free ones is beyond me.
    I guess you get what you pay for.

  • Hey, time for the real holiday season.

    Posted: Mar 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by  CruncherNumb

    With a bit of bluetooth controller map jigging on my tablet, my ultimate portable free gaming console can be established thanks to the Sharkey Game Navigator- seriously, how the f 1UP can get by without the witmeister I'll never know -500.  Yeah, things have become a bit shamedly bittersweet.  But, hey, if I ever come across a boatload of conflict resolved diamonds, I'll make sure and buy 1up back to its former glory- that or I'll make sure to make it my final Brazil delusion of hope during the ministry mandated lobotomy.
