Great FREE games you may not have tried

In an attempt to be frugal and stretch my gaming hours even further I've been looking into F2P games lately.

 

1. King Arthur's Gold: Like Terraria it has a Minecraft + 2d Platformer vibe going on, except the game is centered around class-based team-deathmatch. Mining for gold and rocks is never quite as fun as when you are dodging catapults and arrows.

2. Star Trek Online: It is F2P now, and available on Steam. The space combat is similar to Pirates of the Burning Sea. It must be said that the largest reason I like the game is that I like Star Trek. If I didn't, the game probably wouldn't be as fun. If you like Star Trek give it a try, if not still give it a try, but I'm not promising you'll like it.

I feel as though this is a scam. D:

F2P just means you gotta pay for content ;D

I recommend anyone that is interested in Firefall go register on their forums. People are practically throwing betas around like hotcakes. Some require a bit of effort (posting a funny .gif in a thread for example), but they are pretty easy to come across. I'm currently waiting on a PM to get my beta key!
