Free Games for Desktops and iOS Devices

One of the greatest indie shooters. Period.

There are literally thousands of games to play for absolutely zero dollars these days. From puzzle games, to RPGs and even FPSs, there are amazingly crafted games for different platforms to play for nothing.

Tiny Towers – iOS Devices

An amazing and time consuming game for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. You are the manager of a tower that you build floor by floor. You can build different types of business floors or residences. Stocking floors will consume most of your time although can take hours to complete. It’s not a fast paced game by any means but will have you twitching to get back to see if a floor is finished building.

Assault Cube – PC/Mac/Linux

AC is a great FPS for all the major desktop OSs. It’s a very simple game and does not contain persistent ranking and a large variety of weapons, but it does have lots of great modes, fast action and a great community of map builders. You’ll find yourself up late gibbing and fragging like the olden days of shooters.

Alien Swarm – PC

Alien Swarm has already had lots of press in the few years it has been around but if you haven’t heard of it, get it now! It’s a top down shooter with a ranking system and four-player coop as its core. If you have Steam and don’t have Alien Swarm you are seriously missing out! It’s even free!

Pocket MMO – iOS Devices

MMOs have slowly began to invade the iOS devices and they are turning up surprisingly good. Pocket MMO is a strange fantasy/sci-fi world with thousands of players and lots of quests and items for the price of zero. You can however pay for an expanding experience, but the free world will have you quite busy.

Online Poker - PC/Mac/Linux

Online Poker is one of the great poker services on the internet. You can play with many people around the world and choose from a variety of styles of poker. It’s a great game to waste time or join up in tournaments to spend an afternoon. Get ready for some good trash talk.

EDITED: Changed favourite poker site.
