The fearless leader. The Big cheese. The main man.

Have you ever wanted to run a country? Build it up into a global power, both the envy and absolute terror of its neighbor?  And maybe be a successful civil servant and NOT run it into the ground like certain world leaders we could mention?
PLAY FREECIV. If you're asking "W-whats Freeciv???" Like some pleb, let the developers explain it to you, straight from the games main page: "Freeciv is a Free and Open Source empire-building strategy game inspired by the history of human civilization. The game commences in prehistory and your mission is to lead your tribe from the Stone Age to the Space Age. Freeciv can be played online in your web-browser for free. Choose how you want to play" FROM THE STONE AGE TO SPACE. YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT.
Not like this
Single-player with computer opponents or Multi-player with other people! Over 500 nations to pick from, more than 100 players in one match! Not bad for a game thats been in development since the 90s. FreeCiv could be just what you're looking for if you've been wanting to scratch that "World domination" itch without having to use nuclear weapons in real life.
"All you had to do was let me run everything! NOW YOU GET MAD MAX!"

If you want to drive your opponents nations before you, hear the lamentations of their women and crush them under your boot-heel, you can play Freeciv here

toH reupS

HA, YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE RID OF ME, WRONG
YOU THOUGHT THE WORST WAS OVER, AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Did you like those parts in the matrix with the slow-mo? Where whatshisface THE ONE basically side steps between bullets and he doesn't even care? Of course you did, everyone did. Thats why there were movie parodies for years after. That game today is basically that, and it's called SUPER
 HOT, SO STRAP IN.
 Super Hot's deal is that it's you against red bad dudes with guns, but with the added gimmick that time only moves when YOU move, so every level is basically a puzzle made of MURDER. "Wow, how the hell does THAT work?" you wonder? Well check this shit out.

Pretty much  "Damn that looks neat, I want to play this immediately". Lucky you, you can play this right from your browser. So if you like action movies, unconventional puzzles, minimalist art styles, slow-motion, and the color red, then SUPER HOT is for you. Hey, and they're also trying to get enough funding to make this prototype into a full blown game, so if you like what you see, you can throw money at it if you want.
Super DEAD
You can play SUPER HOT right here

Copious amounts of blue and orange with some red mixed in

HEY! You know what I havent done in a while?
"Updated?"
Well, yes. Also screw you. What I meant is that I haven't  had an update with a game from Digipen in a long time. So when I saw that today's game was made there, it's like killing two birds with one stone!
Don't kill birds with stones
The game for today is IGNEOUS, and its all about volcano, fire, and going fast. It'd also consider it a INDIE PLATFORMER, but since it isn't RETRO it doesn't get the trifecta. Here's a video.

It looks pretty good, I'd almost call it...ingenious.
"SHAME ON YOU"
Anyway. As you can see the game, while pretty straight forward, was great enough to win awards, and the team of students that made the game called themselves "Going down in flames", and with a name like that you know these guys clearly knew what they were doing.
"This is your captain speaking: everything is fiiiiiiiine"
Do you like Tiki idols? Volcanoes? GOING FAST? Then Igneous is for you, because it has all of those things.
WOOOOOO
You can get Igneous here

WARNING: MISSILE LOCK


Everyone wants to be a fighter pilot at one point. EVERYONE.
"Nope, not me!"
You are either lying to me, which is impolite, lying to yourself, which is sad, or you are a completely broken person inside and you have my pity. The game today is called Sky Rogue, and it looks pretty slick, and while it's not a proper flight sim game, it does a fair job of getting close-ish.
Obviously Sky Rogue is about fighter jets and the stuff they blow up. Set on randomly generated islands you choose from a number of fighters each with different skins, pick from a wide array of weaponry for your loadout and go shoot up other fighters, ships, and bases.
Check out that low-polygon art and those bright distinct colors, you know you love it.

Eventually all fighter pilots will be replaced with robots, which will eventually rebel and cause Robomageddon, so this might be the closest thing you can get to being an actual fighter pilot (for free). So if you like Top Gun (the dog fighting parts, not the beach volleyball), missiles, fighter jets, low polygon art, bright colors, or riding into The Danger-Zone then Sky Rogue might be for you.
You can get it here for free on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and if you like it enough you can even throw some cash the Developers way to encourage them to keep up the good work.
