Freeloading gamers rejoice: the best independent freeware games of 2007!

Indiegames.com, which as you might imagine indeed does focus on independent games, has a “best games of 2007” section, which this year highlighted the best freeware adventure games, the best freeware arcade games, and then another general category for the best freeware games of 2007.

With names like Fractal Fighter, Burn the Trash, Thule Trail, Nelly Cootalot: Spoonbeaks Ahoy, Death Worm, and Cottage of Doom, these are some lists worth looking through. Each of the lists goes into detail about each game, with screenshots, so you can see what the game is about in detail before downloading it. I’ve played Thule Trail, and it’s a pretty hip remake of a classic game that anybody over 25 or so should remember.

Via the random Gnomes’ random Lair (love that name), who listed the link for the best freeware adventure games of ‘07.

Moviemaking Freeware

From MovieScope Magazine, they remark that “…filmmaking isn’t exactly ‘cheap.’” So, they have made a great list of freeware for filmmakers. There is some shareware, too, so be careful! It is labeled as such, so make sure you look before downloading! There’s pre-production, production, and post-production, so if you’re a “starving artist” but desperately want to be the next Spielberg, this is a great list to peruse.

A comprehensive listing of freeware music programs.

Click on over to the Digital Meltd0wn Music Blogroll for an apparently comprehensive (or close to it) list of freeware programs that involve music, from editing and creating to zipping up and burning. Worth a look, especially if you’re into music.
