5 Free Games I Really Recommend

Entering the ancient Library you marvel at what is suddenly available to you. Without hesitation you pick one of the offered challenges and start struggling for that new high score...





he time has come to gather the free games I have recommended so far, add a couple of new ones (one of them being a flash version of THE original Prince of Persia - the one I talked about running on that old Macintosh) and proudly present to you my first "Free games I really recommend list". Hopefully this list will grow and - perhaps from your feedback - evolve into a real gaming treasure. However 5 really good games aren't too bad for a start, is it?

Three of these games can be played directly in the blog, the others can be found by following the links. None of them require any registration or download in order to play.

The games are: Prince of Persia, Black sails, Never End, Aengie Quest and last but not least...Untangle 1.2

That's right, it's that fascinating puzzle game I talked about in an earlier post. Hope you find it as captivating as I do. Still haven't made it through all 19 levels - can you beat me to the final line? (Please let me know if you do)

Remember that I only add - and link to - games I have tried playing and honestly recommend myself. As always I wish you much pleasure and hope that you find your own favorite among them.

Shadow of Legend: Going from Level 1 to 10 without a Fight!

Type of review: First impression
(Read OnRPGs full review of the game HERE)

Game: Shadow of Legend

Type of game: MMORPG, F2P (Item shop)

State: Open beta

ever before have I been able to gain 10 levels and a LOT of new equipment without fighting at least some low level enemies. Not until I gave the new MMORPG "Shadow of legend" a go. As a sort of "beginner's quest" the only thing you have to do (at least if you have chosen to play a combatant - I assume it's the same for every class) is to go from NPC to NPC in order to receive a new requests to go see a person, something that is really easy thanks to the autotracking feature. Simply click the NPC you want to go to and a route is automatically drawn on the map and your character goes there by itself (reminds me of the way Talisman Online and Myth War II is being played).

What first made me download SoL however, was the fact that it had a very detailed background story (five pages!) and chronicles about different events during the history of the world more than 10 pages!). Not usual for a F2P game to rest on such an elaborate ground.

Since this game has been developed also for users playing on their mobile phone, the 2D graphics are rather simple albeit detailed. This brings a sort of nostalgic feel to the game as you actually feel almost like playing a game from the good old Baldur's Gate era.

So far I am really pleased with what I have experienced in SoL (currently at level 11) and I will keep playing it in order to see whether this first impression lasts. If it doesn't I'll surely let you know.
