So I've been looking for some good freeware games to play, and not necessarily community games. I'm not looking for RPG Maker games or anything of the sort. Gamemaker games I am iffy about, but if they're really cool and original (like Laz's games) then I'd probably give them a go.

What I'm looking for are freeware indie games that are self coded and such. Cave Story is one example, as are the billions of space shooters that a few folks here were obsessed with last year or the year before.

Cave Story, Knytt Stories, Soldat (I count this), and Warning Forever are about the only ones I can think of that I have already played. I know that there are tons more and that you folks have played a plethora. Got any favourites that you'd care to suggest?

Oh, yes. Forgot about that one. Gave it a try a few weeks ago, actually.

But seriously, try giving Loved a try. It's short, kind of artsy, but I'd like to see what you think about it. Been trying to write a big analysis of this game for a while. It's pretty smart when you get thinking about it.

this was really good. thanks for linking it. games that use this style of capturing emotion in interaction and games that use procedural generation like minecraft are imo the most interesting things right now. i don't really know what kind of vocabulary to use to analyse this style though. with procedurally generated games it's easier because programming terms provide the vocab to some extent. do you know of any discussion where people are starting to develop ways of talking about what these games do?

AV Club's Sawbuck Gamer column lists a bunch of games, mostly freeware, every week complete with a review and some images.  I've checked out a few of them and they've generally been quite fun.  Would be worth checking out.

Warzone 2100, it's now open source and totally free

It's a decent RTS, loved it when it was on PS1, hard as hell.

I used to play that all the time when I had a demo of it. Really liked it, but couldn't get into the full version. I have a friend who loved Warzone, so I'll have to tell him about this!
