What can be really bugging, especially for pure gaming enthusiasts is that nothing is free-not even free games (and even that pleasant smiling attitude).Smiling exercises about 32 facial muscles and sometimes, people can consider you mad if you smile on unhappy occasions. But enough of smiles-let’s get down to the really unpleasant bit.

You will surely have realized that you need a console such as a PC for playing any PC games. Even visiting this blog requires you to have an internet enabled device. Consoles can be expensive sometimes and a good gaming PC is one of the most expensive. But you don’t need to cry just yet-you don’t need to spend more than Rs. 30,000 to play most of the free games listed here.

Then comes the cost of internet browsing. Need I say more? You could however, carry out exchanges of free games with your friends through portable media. This should cost you Rs 45 for a rewritable disk however.

Gaming as a hobby utilizes time and energy so watch it.

So, unfortunately, ‘free gaming’ is not a solution for the poor. But who really knows? Maybe in the future when gaming becomes a necessity so many organizations will try to provide gaming to the less fortunate, leading to a better world.
