Classic Command & Conquer Game Now Freeware
The original Command & Conquer was one of the most popular real-time strategy games of all time, and a long series of sequels and spin offs have keep fans coming back for more. C&C:Red Alert was one of these spin offs and was a big hit with fans. Now as Electronic Arts prepares to release Red Alert 3 this holiday season, they have released the original Red Alert as freeware.
If you are a fan of real-time strategy games and you are willing to put up with graphics that are over a decade old, I think you will find the game play of Red Alert just as addictive as ever. As an added bonus, if you pre-order C&C:Red Alert 3 they will also give you C&C:Red Alert 2 for free!
Beware, it is a rather large download of 1GB if you want both the Soviet and Allied disks. Also, unless you are still running Win 95/98 you will need to follow the install guides for XP/Vista.

If you want a really cool (and free) "Defender" style game that has absolutely no adware, you should try "Hornado" ( http://www.hornado.de/english/ ). I recently contacted the author of the game. He was pleasantly surprised that the game was still played, however... there are no updates planned for the future. But... if enough interest was generated again... who knows?
