Prepare for next weeks Overdos3 Podcast by playing free games!

Next week for the Overdos3 Podcast we are going to talk about free PC games. To help you prepare for this episode I have provided links for the first sites we are going to cover for this new segment.

Don't forget to contact us or send emails to [email protected] to let us know what you think of these games, and what free games you like to play. Your thoughts may just end up in this or a future episode of Overdos3!

Battlefield Heroes-

Other than the rather unfortunate song EA chose to introduce new players to this action packed and free First Person Shooter, Battlefield Heroes is a pretty amazing game. While you can spend money to change the look of your personal heroes, there is no fee required to play the basic game.

With team based play, lush visuals in the same vein as Team Fortress 2's animated look and a variety of classes (sniper, soldier.. you get the idea) to play as- Battlefield Heroes jumps right to the top of our list of free games to play.

Quake Live-

Quake Live is much more of a twitch, run and gun type First Person Shooter, but it works well and has more blazing fast speed than a free shooter ought to. The grandmasters at Id have created a free FPS that feels perfectly designed to drop in whenever you have a spare minute or two

Kongregate.com-

This is a website dedicated to free games that have been designed by indie developers. There are micro-transactions with some of the games on this site, but most can be played without spending a dime...

Even if many aren't the best quality, it is a bit hard to complain when a site offers up hours and hours of game play for free.

Cave Story-

This Japanese freeware title plays a bit like a mixture of Super Mario and Metroid. Its classic 8 bit look will feel instantly familiar, and the game had the benefit of kicking copious amounts of ass!

If you don't try any of the other titles or sites mentioned this week, this is the one you have to try. This title is going to release for the Wiiware platform sometime in the future, but the best price is always $0, right?
