Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
My friend needs free games to play.

A friend of mine is playing a really shitty Facebook game called Mafia Wars, largely because she doesn't know about any better alternatives. I'd like to help her out, but I mostly play games on my DS Lite and PS2, neither of which she owns. As far as free games go, the only one I can think of is Cave Story, and I don't know if a platformer would suit her.
Mafia Wars is a crime game that allows you to take on the role of a crime boss. In this role, you select crimes to commit, purchase properties that earn you money, and attack and compete with other crime bosses by attacking them to steal money and damage their property. Fighting other crime bosses utilizes very basic RPG elements like Attack and Defense stats and the use of different type of weapons, and doing any act allows you to level up and build stats. Committing crimes is simply a matter of pressing a button and receiving a random amount of money and perhaps some loot for your trouble.
Given all that, I'm thinking that a good suggestion for her would be something like an RPG, but perhaps not as demanding as the sort of games I'm used to playing which present players with a huge array of options for character progression and no hand holding. Also, it might be better if a suggestion was more realistic in nature, or at least didn't stray too far into the realms of fantasy or sci-fi.
As a side note, she also liked playing Professor Layton when I lent her my DS Lite, and when PETA released that Cooking Mama parody, she enjoyed playing that too, not for the PETA aspects but rather the Cooking Mama aspects. Given that, I'm also open to suggestions in the vein of puzzle games and simulated activities, though I think she'd be prefer a more in-depth game right now.

She likes the fights most of all, which as I said are like very basic RPG fights.
In short, she likes the general idea, but would prefer something better.

In the words of the ancients, one should make his decision within the space of seven breaths. It is a matter of being determined and having the spirit to break through to the other side
If she likes RPGs she should like that. It's free and entertaining.
It is flash game site but with a chat built into the side of every game. Little of something for everyone there. I personally like Mud and Blood 2, though she would probably be more into something like Sonny. They also break the games down into genre. Here is the RPG/Adventure section.
Isn't that just mafia wars with a different skin?
Uh never played Mafia Wars so someone else would have to say whether or not they're the same.

Does Gametap's Free pack let you play the entire game or just let you play to a certain point before cutting you off?
