How to get free downloadable games

Download Free Action Games

Searching for free downloadable games can be a game onto itself.  A lot of websites advertise free downloadable games but only offer a trial period that can last 60 minutes, others offer free downloadable games that lack the features of the full version.
Some websites offer free downloads of full version games that no one wants to play for more than a few minutes.  The graphics are not appealing and the game itself may be dull or too complex.


♦ Sandlot games
This website offers free downloadable games every Monday.  Each week a full version game is available to download for free.  The process is simple: register an e-mail account and they will send you the unlock key for that particular game.  A lot of these games are little gems with great graphics that provide hours of entertainment.  Some of the latest free downloads included “Eye for design” and “Word Monaco”.  Popular “Cake Mania” in its various incantations was offered several weeks ago.  Each Monday’s title is available for download throughout the week.
♦ Game Top
This website offers free-full version downloadable games in a variety of categories that include arcade, action, puzzle, hidden objects, racing, card games, etc.  The graphics are good and the variety is sure to please every taste and age.  Unlike Sandlot Games, the games are available every day.  Some of the games are available for online play exclusively, but there is enough variety in the downloadable category to please every type of casual player.
♦ Free PC games
Free PC games offer a variety of free downloadable games and online play of graphic-rich games.  Their website also has reviews and lists popular games for the week based on downloads and players’ reviews.
♦ CNET
CNET offers free download for games that range from violent to arcade.  Full versions of Grand Theft Auto or Command and Conquer are available in the Gratis section.  Need for Speed and Super Mario Brothers: Mario for ever! are some of the examples of full version games that can be downloaded for free.
♦ Big Fish Games
This site offers free downloadable games for free on occasion and keeping an eye out for those limited time downloads are worth the wait since the games are advertisement free and yours to keep forever.
♦ Game House
Game house offers a free downloadable game every single day.  The difference between the paid full version and the free full version is a small advertisement at the beginning of the game.
The best thing to do is to bookmark these sites and periodically browse the free downloadable games they have to offer, take them for a test run and determine if they are worth keeping for the long term.
