Freeplay

Reviews of all the gaming you can do for free.

With all this sporting action going on I bet you haven’t left the house in a while. Or you’ve been naughty and spent a lot of your beans on drinking noxious substances and maybe fattening up the waistline as you watch the people run around hitting stuff. So here comes the ultimate sollution, it’s Free, Fun and Enjoyable. It’s July’s Free Play!

 

Here is where you can play Auditorium.

And here is where you can play N.

And to get ahead of the game, the games for Episode 10 are here.

Put your wallets away! Put down the cheque book and pen! Stop begging your dad for money! You’re dining with the InRetroSpect crew from now on and we don’t like charging you a bean. Even more so we want you to be enjoying things for free even when you’re not fortunate enough to be around us.  So here we go with another Freeplay, where Xero (Pete), Dan (FrostieDee), Kris (Strider), and Sam (Marconi), tell you how to enjoy your time for free!

This month we look at the fun that comes from not shooting stuff, shooting stuff, and why we should be shooting stuff at all.

 

Test your ability not to shoot here!

Test your trigger finger here!

And to get ahead of the game, the games for Episode 9 are here!

Dry your eyes, pack up for the weekend, celebrate or commiserate, cause the election is over and the bindweed of politics is grasping for your attention no more. However the InRetroSpect crew are still after your ears, so join us for the month of May!

We take pleasure in looking at the games that only cost you your precious time on earth, and also this month we’ll be casting our mouths off at how you behave online! Naughty, Naughty!

 

The mind bending Continuity be here!

Play along to Quake Live here!

and for more clicking action get a heads up for the edition next month HERE!

Another new month can only mean a few things!  More pinching and punching of your close friends and family. A new chance to start that diet and once again the InRetroSpect guys have mashed their heads together and taken a critical eye over the games you can play for free! Separating the wheat from the chaff once again is; Xero (Pete); Marconi (Sam); FrostieD (Dan); Strider (Kris); and Loz (err…Loz)!

This month we’ve been toiling in the fields of;

  • Just Cause 2 [PS3/360]
  • Miami Shark

And also recount our adventures on the Freeplay game of the month: Free Realms

Habits can become the root of all genius! The guys getting together to record another Freeplay within a month, is certainly a good habit indeed. Once again Xero (Pete), FrostieD (Dan), Marconi (Sam) and new inductee Stryder (Kris) straddle the burning fence of critical games debate. As usual they will be examining exactly what you can do with all the fluff hanging around in your pocket. It could only be Freeplay!

  • Aliens Vs. Predator [PS3/360]

This episode Xero and Loz take a look at  the difference in demos that appear on both consoles, some demos which are exclusive to each console, and of course some free independent games you can find on the Internet. Plus they find out what UFC stands for and  discuss why Vin Diesel is so awesome.

This months demos are:

  • Red Faction
  • UFC
  • Guitar Hero Metalica
  • Zen Pinball
  • Vin Diesel’s The Wheelman

And the Games of the Month are:

As usual any comments or questions are welcome, just e-mail them to xero@inretrospectpodcast.com or loz@inretrospectpodcast.com, alternatively send a reply to our twitter @inretweetspect.

 

**UPDATE**
The PlayStation Blog has just answered why there is a difference between the 360 and PS3 demos

“The multi-player demo had to unfortunately be removed from the Store due to technical issues with online match-making. THQ are diagnosing the problem and updating people via the Red Faction: Guerrilla community site: http://community.redfaction.com/

The single player demo is still live.”

So the multi-player version will hopefully be up at some point for PS3 peeps to enjoy.

With some much improved recording equipment Xero and Loz Talk about the latest demos including Resident Evil, Halo Wars and Watchmen.
