I'm sort of in the middle of a gaming drought right now, so Ive been exploring different options in the F2P game market. In the past week or so, I've downloaded close to 10 F2P games, ranging from Black Prophecy to Dragon's Nest.

But I'm wondering what F2P games everyone else is playing, which may help me decide upon my new gaming home.

Also...what's your opinion on the F2P game market as a whole? I think it's a fantastic revenue model if it's done right, but I recognize the issues that can come up if it's implemented poorly.

Thanks.

TF2, Global Agenda, and that other warcraft-type MMO on Steam. They're surprisingly good for being F2P.

Assault Cube.

It has a very active, friendly community, and it's open source. It's very similar to Counter-Strike.

I downloaded this a week ago -- I can't get enough. It'll run on just about any machine, and it's a very small download. This is one game you definitely don't want to pass up on. :)

TF2 is the only free game I play, most others are MEH imo.

Quake Live and LOL are not bad either

So far, the best F2P game I've tried is Bloodline Champions. It's basically WoW's arena system, but without the gear imabalances. Anyone who's interested in WoW arena should deinitely check this game out.

Anyone that's invested any time into Black Prophecy want to share their experiences and opinions on the game? It looks like a more action oriented version of EVE, but I'm not sure if that translates into a good game or not.

World of Tanks - "World Of Tanks Passes 5 Million Registered Users " I think that said enough - but if you don't familiar with the game it's tactical tanks game. check that out - it's so well populated that people started to create skins for tanks to look cooler etc. (ah PC community - can't see that on consoles. can you? ;) )

NO, I mean you have to unlock the full version buy making a Mannco purchase. The 'free' version is not the same as I understand it. I'm not sure about a map stamp, but I know you can unlock the full game by buying a 50cent item as well. BUT you need to put at least $5 in your steam wallet for the transaction to go through.

The hell? Why would Valve say there is "no catch" if you are claiming you have to put $5 and make a MANN CO. purchase to "unlock" the game?

A free account has less drops, less backpack space, cannot trade and cannot get certain gear. Any purchase unlocks the "full" version.

Well, Steam wallet requires a minimum of $5 deposited. It costs 50 cents to upgrade TF2 to premium. Use the $4.50 leftover for another game that goes on sale sometime on Steam.

League of Legends. And the occasional TF2, though I did buy the game before it went free to play.

Used to be World of Tanks...but stopped coz its too addictive and my other games are being totally neglected. Heard that the team doing WoT is also now developing World of Battleships...hmmm interesting. What I would love is World of Mechs tho... But i'm kinda waiting Fallen Earth to go F2P..curious to see what is it about. DDO and LOTRO are pretty good F2P MMOs. There are a whole lists of F2P MMOs that I really would love to try but just don't have the time for it.

There are actually a lot of high quality F2P games out right now. Several MMO's, the awesome MOBA selection, AoE Online, and even an FPS in TFT2. I'm now in the process of deciding between LoL or HoN as my DOTA clone of choice....pretty tough decision so far. And AoE Online has impressed me a lot so far, so that adds an RTS to the mix as well. Honestly, with the quality of these F2P games rising....it wouldn't surprise me if their market share approached 50% within 5 years or so.
