We all love free games...

Now, we all love games, especially if they're cheap, and even more so if they're free, am I right? So from now on I shall be finding the best of the best of those games that tend to elude us in the crowd of people who are interested in the bigger games like minecraft and Grand theft auto and the like.
     The first game that I would like to mention of the three that I shall be mentioning today is a little game called 'Perspective' that is slowly gathering followers despite it's rather unassuming origins at a university. It takes on a whole new level of platforming games that we have seen very little of thus far, it uses your screen as a 2D screen from your perspective, anything blue on the screen is a solid surface in 2D and anything that isn't, simply isn't there as far as your little character is concerned, other than the orange areas, those'll kill you. Of course the game also features you as a character in a 3D world and you may move around the area to gain a different perspective on where your 2D character is, to unlock the pathway to the teleporter,  which finishes the level, it's a brilliant puzzle game that I think you'll find quite addictive. I will try and get some gameplay footage on youtube of the game if I can and I will link it here when I do. 'Perspective' is available for download at this URL: https://www.digipen.edu/?id=1170&proj=25930 at the bottom of the page.
     The second case that I'd like to plead is slendytubbies, now, I am well aware that many have heard of this game and that it is very basic but it is still a very good game, almost entirely because it has that many more options than the slenderman game. The game includes three modes (I would imagine in a vain attempt to make it seem less scary) of Day, Dusk, and Night, each in their own right will scare you out of your wits if you play on singleplayer, the main aim is to find 10 'tubbycustards' throughout the map whilst being chased by what I like to call, 'the slendertubby' as you find each custard, the slendertubby becomes faster, and more agile, ultimately meaning, more dangerous to you and your, quite frankly, epic mission to find the ten tubbycustards and escape the grasp of demented TINKYWINKY!!!! As well as the great fun you can have on the singleplayer (emptying your bowels) you can also have just as much if not more fun on the multiplayer, you can either have a match where the slendertubby is an AI NPC or one person can host and chase the others, I don't know how many people you can have in the game but when using the Hamachi servers the server limit is 5 so I would guess 4 or 5, however, if you have friends like I do, on a game like that, prepare yourself, you know the saying, 'with friends like these' the game can be found for download at www.zeoworks.webs.com/slendytubbies  and I shall try to make a video of gameplay shortly.
     Finally, the third and final game I would like to mention is Rigs of Rods. RoR is a little known game where you just play with physics, when you download it, you will get the choice of downloading the addon packs, (you must do this or your choice of vehicles will be utterly abysmal) and a multiplayer server client that will let you have your own server on the multiplayer function of the game, now, with the important parts of the installation out of the way, the game features (with the addons in place) over a hundred vehicles and around 40 maps to screw around on, of course these vehicles aren't just limited to cars, oh no, there are Chinook helicopters, jet fighters, WWII fighters, semi articulated trucks, 4x4s and a load of other vehicles like boats. With the soft body physics engine that they have so wonderfully done, crash effects are finally a realistic goal, much better than the likes of any mainstream game like GTA IV, and, because it's a PC game, you can mod it with new vehicles and maps as you please, meaning that this game is amazing for the price of absolutely nada.

     Well, that's all folks, I'll be back soon with more free games for you, but for now, Sayonara.
