I’ve posted a few posts about free MMORPGs a while back, and I feel like it’s time to feed you a little news about the new and/or upcoming ones. Why games? Well nobody said frugal living meant you had to live like a hermit. We all need a little entertainment, and frugality is about finding alternative sources of entertainment – often less expensive ones – and something “free” is obviously less expensive. First off are the new ones.
Godswar
If you’re a heavy Facebook user, then you have probably seen this game in the advertisement bars. Godswar is an MMORPG with a theme that revolves around the Trojans and the Spartans, from which you pick a side. The view of the game is top down, but you can scroll the camera around. This is a good game for casual gamers – bad for hardcore gamers – as there is plenty of automation in the game. For instance, you can click on the map and your character will go there. You can set your character on patrol and it will fight monsters for you while you’re away from the computer.
Milmo
Milmo is a browser based MMORPG with action and platforming elements. If you want something new rather than the usual Zuma and Bejeweled type of games, then give Milmo a try. The graphics are pretty decent for a casual browser based game, and the fact that it is browser based means you won’t have to download a multi-gig game client.
NOVA Elite
While Godswar is merely an MMO advertised on Facebook, NOVA Elite is an actual Facebook game. Deviating from your usual Farmville, Cityville, and other “ville” games of Facebook, NOVA is a first person shooter – or FPS. Being a browser based game, you can just log in to Facebook and play – no download required. Just enter “N.O.V.A. Elite” in the Facebook search bar, and you can get the app. As far as graphics and gameplay goes, it sort of pays tribute to the old school shooters like Quake and the first Halo – minus the vast rooms.
Habbo
Habbo is another browser based, er, “game” that focuses on socializing. I wouldn’t really call it a game, since there’s nothing to play in there, but it is a virtual world where you can socialize. Simply put, while others sign up to forums and online chats, you can sign up to Habbo and do the same things – only you have controllable virtual avatars.
Tinier Me
Tinier Me is another browser based game that sports an anime look, and is a side-scrolling game with a wide variety of mini-games. Tinier Me isn’t like your usual MMORPGs where you strive to reach the highest level cap, as the game is a little more on the social side. There isn’t much in Tinier Me for the more hardcore players, but I feel like this is one way for a non-gamer to get into playing games. Casual gamers can get into Tinier Me and just fool around. Cosplayer Alodia Gosiengfiao frequently logs in and just talks with fans. Simply put, if you are looking for time-killers, you can try this game out.
