Sometimes we come across some little fun online flash game that can be addictivly fun. And before we know, the time just seems to fly by.

A neat little flash game I found recently is "Dog-Fight 2", in which you control a "WWI era" type of bi-plane and get into aerial dog-fights with other planes, as well as having various other targets (both air and ground) to shoot at. 

It's a lot of fun to try and pull off some aerial tricks that will temporarily confuse your opponents while you then try to take aim at a target of opportunity.

If you don't already have flash-player installed for your browser, you can go and download and install it for free at the following link: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/

If you already have flash installed, then you can sit back, relax and have a bit of fun now with
Dog-Fight 2. Enjoy!

I'm a long-time fan of "Survival Horror" games since back to my younger days of playing the first few Resident Evil games on my old Play Station. 

Ahhh, the memories of playing late at night in my room sitting in front of my TV with the lights low, controller gripped in hands, the sound turned up a little while exploring some creepy zombie-infected mansion or town, not knowing when the next onslaught of mindless blood-thirsty creatures would jump out at me from the shadows. I was hooked! 

These engaging and thrilling games really got my imagination going, and in the wee hours of the morning after playing for probably too many hours, I would slink off to bed and have dreams of fighting off the relentless zombies while trying to explore and find my way out of some post-apocalyptic landscape.

Recently when browsing the internet, out of curiosity I was looking for some Survival Horror type of games in which I could play on my PC.

I found some references to a game released by Midway in 2003, called "The Suffering - Prison is Hell". 

Here's a link to a trailer for the game I found at Youtube:
(Clicking the link should open a new browser window and play the video)

Checking out some pics, video trailer and some reviews, it looked rather promising.
(Here's a link to a good review of the game:

I was looking for an online store in which I might be able to purchase and download it. But after a little more research I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Midway has now recently released this great game as Freeware! Wow! Now I just had to find out where I can download it from. After a bit more searching, I found a currently active download link in which you can download the full game, over at GamersHell site. The link to the page in which you can download "The Suffering" game can be found at the following:
http://www.gamershell.com/download_33314.shtml

The file size is around 1.26GB, so hopfully you have a fast internet connection (otherwise it could take a rather long time), and be sure you have enough free space on your Hard-Drive before downloading.
Once you arrive at The Suffering download page on GamersHell, scroll down that page a bit and you should see several buttons that link to various download locations. Pick a link that may be closer to your geographical location for hopfully a faster download connection.

So, what's the catch you ask? Why is Midway now giving away such a cool game for free? Well, from what I can find, I guess it's one way in which they can help to promote their more recently released game of this series "The Suffering 2 - The Ties that Bind".  

Also, appearantly, the now free version of The Suffering game is ad-sponsered. How is this supposed to work? Well, after installing the game and before launching it, you'll have to be sure your internet connection is active otherwise you won't be able to play the game as supposedly upon starting the game you'll see a short video-ad that streams from the internet and the same upon closing the game.  However in my case, I've never once yet been bothered with any advertisments while playing the game. Perhaps it has to do with my geographical location (in SE Asia)? Or perhaps the streaming advertisements are no longer being served? Also, after playing a couple of times without seeing any advertisements, I had my Firewall software to simply "block" the connection that the game was trying to make, and I can still play the game fully without any problems.

You get to play a character who goes by the name of "Torque". He's a prisoner on Death-Row, who may or may-not-have murdered his family. One cool thing about the game is that by the choices you make during game play, such as being helpful to other people in need or brutally killing them, will later have an affect on the story and portraying if Torque is actually really guilty or not of murdering his family.

The game is brutal and bloody and not recommended for younger players or players who don't want to see graphic violence in a game. The game is a few years old now, but still fairly current with good graphics, sounds and playability. The mouse control seemed a little "choppy" at times, but after a while of playing it didn't really bother me much.

Overall I'd give the game a 7 out of 10. And hey, for a Freeware PC game, it's probably one of the best I've played.

Enjoy! :)
