1UP has made a big, big list of free games for us!
Times are tough, sure. Nobody got a raise and ain’t nobody complaining on account of well, they still have a job and would like to keep the thing. Belts tighten and we start cutting down on luxuries. On the up side, videogaming doesn’t have to be one of them. There are great big sparkling piles of distractions out there. Worlds to conquer, castles to defend, and aliens to explode, and they all cost exactly zip. Maybe not all of them will perfectly suit your taste, but with 101 to pick from you’re sure to find something that’ll keep you busily avoiding anything resembling work. Actually, I think I just figured out what happened to the economy.
Also check out another similar list from a while ago.

We have proudly released our First playable preview slice from Interstellar Marines, introducing some of the weapon shooting mechanics from Interstellar Marines.
Bullseye uses the Unity game engine and it runs in your browser. This time a browser game doesn’t mean bad graphics though – it looks great!
We are building Interstellar Marines on Unity, which allows us to execute our game with 16x Anisotropic filtering, Fullscreen Anti-aliasing, per pixel lighting, normal maps, lit translucency, dynamic shadows as well as most other AAA features you would expect from game engines such as Unreal or CryEngine .. but in a browser on both Windows and OS X. We guarantee you it’s the best graphics, sound and fun you’ve had in a browser-based game!
To play “Interstellar Marines: Bullseye” you only need to install the Unity3D web plug-in (automatic requested) when starting the game.
We recommend Mozilla Firefox for the optimal gaming experience as it enables flawless full screen support.
You really should try it out – and if you are really interested read more about the game and the development on their website www.interstellarmarines.com.
