As of writing, Battlefield 1942 is still available for free on Origin – you just have to download it via this link because it is more difficult to find it on the Origin program. Get it before 1 March 2013.
Battlefield 1942 is a first-person shooter first [...]
SimCity 4 is a city building simulator. As the mayor of a plot of land of various sizes, the goal is to build something that you want. There are no goals in this game – so you can build a city that rivals New York City with a massive subway system, massive elevated highways and [...]
Here at Netbookist, I take pride in helping my readers. So here’s something from the get-go: Faster than Light will not display properly on netbooks that do not support at least a 1280×720 resolution.

Holy mother of addictive god. As if Lords of the Realm 2 isn’t extremely addictive already, I recently installed Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, and these two games have been keeping my neck strained as I hunch down to look at my netbook screen –
I have often triumphed a truth about games – good graphics, great sound and a great storyline is nice to have, but these elements don’t make the game. There are games out there which you play once, and then never play it again, until, perhaps, nostalgia hits you, and then there are games out [...]
So you like Need For Speed and like Porsches? If you do remember, NFS has a game in its series that features Porsches and Porsches only. It’s called Porsche Unleashed – with basically every Porsche you can imagine. Starting in 1950, you start out driving the Porsche 356, which to an undiscerning eye, looks like [...]
