It's not often that a freeware game can truly be called a masterpiece but
Daniel Remar has finally released Iji, an action platformer with touches of RPG, in which you control a female heroine with a whole lot of engineered superhuman abilities. What makes this game so good is the sheer of polish that has been put into the production and the large amount of choices there are to make. You can choose what abilities to level up with, whether or not to bother killing enemies and the path you take through each sprawling area, which can effect the outcome of the unfolding story.

Many freeware games were released in 2007. How to seperate the crap from the good stuff? It can be a little hard admittedly but
this thread on the
Tigsource forums might help you. With around 30 categories (and a winner announced for each) ranging from 'Best Shooter' to 'Best Bosses,' there's probably something there to please just about anyone.

It has always amazed me what people will do for free and how much innovation goes on outside of the commercial videogaming industry.
Gamehippo,
Caiman,
Acid-Play,
Noodan and
Planet Freeplay collectively have thousands upon thousands of freeware games of varying quality, with everything from Super Mario clones to completely original titles.
