Free Indie Game Quick Hits #3

We often get indie developers sending us links to their free games or press releases, but so often our daily lives get in the way of us looking at them. Tonight though, I have been able to take a quick look at Last Jungle In Sector 17 of which the prototype can be played here. Further down the line I wouldn’t be able to feature this on my Free Indie Game Quick Hits as it is on Greenlight and has a Kickstarter, but the demo is worth a quick play around with as it is.

It’s late on a Thursday evening and everyone is probably looking for some quick games to hit to pass the time until the weekend eventually comes. If you hit the jump, I have two very different, yet both very quirky indie games which are worth a quick blast.

Battlefield 1942 Released for Free via Origin

Battlefield 1942 Released for Free via Origin

To celebrate the Battlefield series’ 10th Anniversary and the 2 millionth Premium Member, DICE and EA are giving away the one that started it all, Battlefield 1942.

Free Games For The Short Of Cash

Free Games For The Short Of Cash

You’re probably aware that something called ‘Christmas’ is next month. Christmas is a wonderful thing where you have to spend all your money on other people, because you’re a nice, generous soul. Unfortunately, that means you probably won’t have much money to spend on feeding your gaming hobby. Sure, the Steam Christmas sales are probably coming up, but wouldn’t you like to get some quality games for nothing, for a change?

Left 4 Dead DLC Will be Free

Left 4 Dead DLC Will be Free

There was a bit of stir in the comments section when DuBBle talked about the new Left 4 Dead DLC last week about whether Valve will be charging us for it. Thankfully Valve must have heard all of our nervous chatter and have declared that the DLC pack will be free for both PC and 360 gamers.
