A demake of TF2 in total 8bit awesomeness.

24th is Recommended by Locke- Death Worm

Games Site

Number 25 is a favorite of mine
Hyper Solar System Plumber

It's a 2D atari/ms paint arcade style take on Super Mario Galaxy
It's simple, storyless and can be quite difficult
Site
Download it
For Windows
For Mac OS
For PSP

Number 26 is fun for the whole family
Free Rider 2

This Game is like a interactive linerider, you can play other peoples tracks and some are made with amazing detail. It features multiple vehicles and an intuitive track editor.
I reccomend these 2 track databases
http://trackmill.com/free-rider-2/
http://fr2db.fr/

27th is one I cant believe I have not added yet
Frets on Fire

Guitar Hero Esque game for PCers
There is a ridiculous number of songs for this game and it can be skinned to look like it's inspiration
IE:
I will link to the site but not any of the track sites because the tracks aren't 100% legal and some arent that great.
http://fretsonfire.sourceforge.net/
And by the way it is multiplatform, so if you are a mac or user looking at a zune forum right now because you lack valuable forms of entertainment, you can join in too!


I will update this later on of course

Might want to add games like Gunbound, America's Army, and Gunz.

[Dizzy]

*gasp*
I thought for sure you'd have Marathon
Aren't you the one who always talks about it : p

[ZGamer]

The first one looks like a cool game.

[endlessinsanity]

I think I've heard of Tremulous elsewhere. They might not be great per se, but 1up.com has two lists of 101 games each that are free if you want to take a look,

Done

Thanks for the reminder punk

[Gregory]

Thanks! +rep

[saab900]

For racing games look into Nitto Legends ans Drift City.

[Trogdor]

Drift City was a big time dissapointment and I expect nitto would be the same

America's Army was fun and one of my favorites. Combine free and good game and you get something good.

Gunz..I played the beta for a bit, then they started having problems and that was when I stopped.

[NightFire]

I've played Gunz, my brother still does at times, but what I'm really thinking about is Marathon (big Halo fan here), but it keeps saying "MAC" and I'm sure that I have a Zune and not a MAC...

do you mean you have a PC not a MAC, anyway they ported marathon to work on all OSs

[NightFire]

No, I mean I do have a Zune, sense Zune is MAC friendly, and this is a Zune site. Come on, think outside the box. I saw that they ported Marathon to work on all OS's, but still left me questioning, did they make it just for MAC at first?

[Trogdor]

Yes they did make it orginally a mac exclusive and even the Marathon 2 went on the ure of a console made by Apple

[Jon]

Dang it, Troggy! I was gonna post something like this!
Anyway check up ijji.com. All their games are legal free and pretty damn fun!

[Jhon FAKe]

nice findings trogdor, have any one played cabal online or ragnarok?? they are pretty cool but cabal was closed for american because it was an european game. to bad use to play a lot

[saline]

Nice! I want to get some of that Marathon up in here. Maybe you could add Prince of Persia? With it's amazing graphics, epic plot, and 2d gaming so realistic it could fool any 1 year old into thinking it was remotely real.
