Now that Chrome, the browser from Google, is no longer in beta, you might want to download it and give it a try.

I’ve played around with Chrome for the past month, and it now takes its place as my favorite browser, mostly because it is way faster than Firefox 3.0, which is way faster than IE itself.

If you are looking for speed when you visit FreeGamesNews on Windows, Chrome is unbeatable (at the time of writing) and loading pages is a third faster than with Firefox on my laptop!

Download Chrome.

Here it is, the last day of the year, the one we all have been looking for! 2008 was a tough year for a lot of us and I hope you had fun visiting FreeGamesNews.

I wish you a very happy new year from Brussels and see you in 2009!

Due to increasing traffic on the French section of FreeGamesNews, I’m deeply sorry to inform you that I have decided to stop maintaining the English section of FreeGamesNews, effective now.

A big thanks to all our English spoken visitors, we appreciated your support over the past two years. Please head on to the French spoken section of this site where we will still continue to bring you the best free games of the web!

FreeGamesNews wishes you a very happy new year! Bonne année! Gelukkig nieuwjaar ! Prost neujahr! Godt nytt år! Szczęśliwego nowego roku! Buon anno! Feliz año nuevo! Akemashite omedetô! Feliz ano novo! Yeni yiliniz kutlu olsun ! Boldog uj évet! Onnellista uutta vuotta! Kali xronia eutichismenos o kainourgios chronos! Seh heh bok mani bat uh seyo! С Новым Годом! Godt nytår!

We’d like to extend our warmest holiday wishes to all our visitors around the world and thank you all for your support. We hope that this holiday season will be a very happy and satisfying one.

We have accomplished a lot this year and nothing would have been possible without your support and your help. Many thanks again and for the next few days, just relax, spend some time with your friends, family or colleagues and, please, don’t forget to support your favorite developers in our first Annual Awards!

The Department of Media Management at the University of Ilmenau in Germany is conducting a survey about online gaming.

“This survey should take approximately five to 25 minutes, depending on the types of games you use. Your participation is a great help for their academic research of online games.

All information you give is collected anonymously and will only be used for academic purposes. There is no commercial provider involved in their research”.

Take the survey and have fun!

Due to many requests, we have added a comment preview button to help our visitors post nicely formatted comments and walkthroughs with spoiler tags! Just click the “Preview” button next to the “Say it!” button to see how your comment will appear on FreeGamesNews when posted.

If you experiment any trouble with the comment preview feature, please get in touch with us.

FreeGamesNews also have weekly polls now so check them out and vote if you haven’t. The polls may end up covering lots of different topics and may help us serve you better in the future.

If you’re reading this, then the DNS has propagated in your area and you are now on our new server! Hopefully, it will be powerful enough to hold FreeGamesNews for a while as the site continues to grow :-)

There might have been some comments lost in the move. If you made a comment on FreeGamesNews recently and no longer see it, please make the comment again because it’s back at the old place.

FreeGamesNews wishes you a very happy new year! Bonne année! Gelukkig nieuwjaar ! Prost neujahr! Godt nytt år! Szczęśliwego nowego roku! Buon anno! Feliz año nuevo! Akemashite omedetô!

FreeGamesNews.com was updated a few hours ago: from now on, the site is in 1024 mode to make the readers more comfortable.Two plugins were added today:

• WP-PostViews, which enables to display how many time a post had been viewed. A most popular posts section should appear on the site soon…
• Terong Related Links, which display useful related permalinks (if any) at the end of a post.

More to come later…

I had a lot of issues with my Internet provider during all this week, and I’m still not able to post from my main location. Please stay tuned, everything should work fine again next week – fingers crossed!
