Best Places to Get Cheap to Free games...
Emulators and roms are great for playing old games for free. You can easily get a big library of classic games just by searching Google.
Emulators emulate old game systems. The roms are the games which the emulator uses to replicate classic games.
I recommend starting with Snes9x and looking round the internet for snes roms. You can find an emulator for pretty much any system now from classic arcade games of the 70s even to modern day
If you like flash games you should check out Kongregate. They have a massive library of free games.
Make sure you keep an eye on steam for their promotions. Steam is a game download service. A lot of the games you have to purchase but they often have games like Portal or Team Fortress 2 available for free.
They always have discounted games as well, so even the games you have to purchase you can get for a bargain.
GameFly is a game rental service where you receive games through the post then return them when you’re ready. This is a really cheap way to play new games.
If you decide you want to keep a game you can opt to keep it and pay significantly less than you would in the shop.
OnLive is a service which streams games. If you’re PC isn’t up to playing the latest titles then this is for you.
The games are streamed from the cloud and can be played on practically any internet enabled device. This works surprisingly well, there is a slight controller delay but you’ve definitely got to check this out.
