Valve’s awesome class based, multiplayer only shooter, Team Fortress 2 is now Free to Play after enthralling players for over four years. Valve has supported the PC version of this game over the years with innumerable updates, all of which were absolutely free. While some of these updates were nothing more than tweaks, a ton of them actually brought about some game changing elements to the table. For more on the evolution of this game over time, head right here.

The best MP game in the world is now FREE!

The game is available to both PC and Mac players but obviously, you’ll first require Steam to avail of this game. While the base game is free, items like newer hats, weapons etc. will all have to be purchased with real world money. Unless you’re the patient type who doesn’t mind crafting them.

At this point in time, I really doubt there’s any PC gamer who doesn't own this game but for those new to PC gaming, this is like the best deal ever.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
