Hate paying for games? 1Up has you covered photo

Right now it is 11:23 p.m. on Friday night, and being a totally extremely cool person I am home writing, but I can already tell you that I will probably get no sleep until this post actually goes live at 2 p.m. on Saturday thanks mostly in part to 1Up's 2009 list of 101 free games to play. Who in God's name has this much free time on their hands? I write about games for a living and I couldn't get through all of these.

The games are divided up into catgories like adventure, puzzle, RPG, etc., but the most intriuging has got to be WTF, the largest section by far. With titles like Offroad Velociraptor Safari and Randy Balma: Municipal Abortionist you're sure to find something that will keep you from doing work for at least the next week and a half. Sadly the good folks at 1Up failed to recognize the pure awesomeness that is Runner. This is most likely because they were so blown away by its greatness they convinced themselves it wasn't free. Only explanation really.

I didn't download Runner when it came out as I was busy at the time, downloading now, also that's a lot of games I've just bookmarked it, will take too long to go through it.

Also, its 7pm here (2pm there I guess) in the UK, so i guess you were right.

By free they mean games that are legally freeware by the company owning the copyright?
