2011 is behind us and we're already well into the last year before the Mayan odometer rolls over. It's probably a good time to celebrate another year of economic recession and the rapidly approaching End of All Things with an absolute orgy of free videogames. Don't worry if you're among the growing ranks of the poor and jobless, you'll always have games to play without giving in to the unforgivable sin of internet piracy.

Meanwhile, if this year's bumper crop of $0.00 entertainment isn't enough, remember that over on our sister site we've still got 101 lists from 2011, the first and second halves of 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006. Yup, 800-something free games should be enough to keep anyone busy for a while. You can also check out IGN's Free Game of the Day by following their Twitter feed.
