Looking for free game websites? Are they even worth your time? Fortunately for you, technology has increased at an amazing rate and there are thousands of online games that can be played for absolutely nothing! Everything from your favorite Nintendo games to bloody first-person shooters are available at places like Every Video Game, Big Point, and Game Tap!

A few places will ask you to sign up to get more games for monthly subscription fees, but it's usually not a requirement. I honestly thought that the free game thing was a joke until recently. Puzzle games and other boring strategy games were generally what I thought of when "free online games" was mentioned. The basic stuff like this is still included below, but places like Game Tap will let you download well known PC games like Tomb Raider for zilch, zero, nothing!

If you still want to buy... or rent games then Go Gamer has an excellent video game sale every 2 days with recent PC titles (about 1 year old) up to 80% off and Gamefly is basically the Netflix or Blockbuster of video game rentals.

Bigpoint is a completely FREE portal for original games that can be played directly from your internet browser. The team of developers here provides you with a selection of about 10 online games from RTS to first-person shooters all using the latest flash technologies. Build your character, join a clan, and compete with other gamers for the chance to win 10,000 euros!

It sounds too good to be true, but these games are both free and high-tech! Bigpoint has a community consisting of over 9 million registered users, so if you haven't checked them out then you are missing out on some good stuff!

Every Video Game brings you all the Nintendo games that you grew up and you can play them online for free! What more can we say?

Gamefly delivers the latest video games directly to you door for as little as $0.30/day. It's basically the Netflix of video games and is really worth it for some people. Games like Halo 3 or WOW are worth purchasing because you will play them all of time.

Gamefly is really great for those one-timers that will just lie around and fall behind the entertainment center into the dark abyss. If you're seriously into games, this service allows you to try before you buy and provides some significant cost savings. This is a nice service to have and you can try one month FREE!

Gametap may be the best thing that ever happened for video gamers! You can play over 20 full version games for free like Tomb Raider, Warlords Battlecry III, Myst Onine, in addition to classics like Joust and Rampage!

Every week new games are added to the free section and you can try out the Gold edition of Gametap for $0.99 the first month. If you like it, you can subscribe to the service for as little as $6.95/month and gain access to 900+ games including Hitman, Overlord, Deus Ex, Fatal Fury, etc.
