However, I have found some of the best games out there and will be doing this every month. So have a look below and feel free to leave a comment with a suggestion if you believe that you play a free game worth mentioning. Also if you are a developer and want me to look at one of your games then please do feel free to contact me directly.

Tiny Tower
By NimbleBit

This game is kind of similar to the classic MAXIS title, Sim Tower. The point of Tiny Tower is simple: build a high rise building then pack it full of pixellated citizens; open up some restaurants, spas, clubs, and other attractions then put its inhabitants to work making you cash.

It’s your job to ensure that your range of outlets is constantly kept stocked, your “bitizens” have their dream jobs, your tower’s elevator is upgraded, and that VIPs are taken care of. No, not in a mafia way.

The Sims FreePlay
By Electronic Arts

Even the youngest gamers among you should have heard of EA’s immensely popular The Sims franchise, which allows you to create your own character, and complete a selection of real-world tasks in a digital universe. This free bite-sized effort follows that well-established tradition.

Your daily routine sees you with find your Sim a job, look after pets, spend tons of in-game cash (Simoleons) on household items to spruce up your abode, and complete other similar domestic chores.

Words With Friends Free
By Zynga

Zynga’s Words With Friends isn’t unlike popular boardgame Scrabble. What do we mean by that? Well, the social giant’s word game tasks you with outscoring your opponent by constructing the biggest and best word from a string of randomly generated letters.

This free ad-supported version of the game allows you to simultaneously challenge up to 20 of your Facebook, iPhone-, iPad-, iPod touch-, and Android-toting buddies. If you don’t have any friends, however, you can also thrash complete strangers.

Real Football 2012
By Gameloft

Gameloft is currently experimenting heavily with the freemium payment model, which means you can grab titles such as Real Football 2012 completely free of charge.

Well, the French publisher has managed to nab the FIFPro licence, which means you can get your goalie gloves on thousands of real-world players, 350 proper teams (and Everton), and 14 league championships from around the world. You can even lead a side of your choice to fortune and glory as a manager – providing you have the required skills.

Angry Birds Free
By Rovio Mobile

Angry Birds Free features challenging physics-based demolition gameplay, and lots of replay value. The 15 levels, set in 5 mini episodes, have been created specifically for Angry Birds Free. Each of the levels requires logic, skill, and brute force to crush the enemy.
