1up.com for the last three years had been compiling a list of free games for 2008 which you can either play online or download. I just thought I'd give it a mention here, because I know sometimes, when you are so bored, you just don't know what to do, so why not play a game to burn those idle minutes? The list has many games from all types of genres. I came upon " LinCity ", a Sim City -like game which was developed for Linux, but is now available for Win32 platforms. Its not bad for a free city simulation game. I certainly recommend it to you to try it. Another one which caught my eye was " Beats of Rage ", a game paying homage to the classis Sega side-scroller beat-em up " Streets of Rage " on the Sega Megadrive/Genesis. Rather than seeing your usual Axel, Blade characters, Beats of Rage features characters from the " King of Fighters " series. I haven't tried this yet, but will give this a spin over the weekend.
Welcome to jiveturtle. Don't worry its nothing about dancing turtles, though that would make life more interesting. Its just my thoughts & feelings I am having at the moment and anything I find on the web that's worth sharing.
