When you traipse through the world of free gaming on the internets, you realise some things.
One thing is that people will play anything: penguin launching, paper throwing, dog shuffling.
Another is that the games are generally tripe, only good for a few minutes before you move on.
One other thing is that sometimes you stumble on something that could be – should be – a full, retail release, but is instead free to play. This time it’s Naked War and even ignoring the fact that it’s free to play (you can pay if you want extra privileges) it still manages to be an absolutely stunning game.
Playing like an even more cartoony Advance Wars – one of the finest series on the Game Boy Advance/DS – this is a play-by-email strategy game that will eat up more of your time than you care to imagine. Thing is though, as it’s email-based you don’t have to commit to one session in one sitting – it can be stretched over a period of days or weeks, even months.
There isn’t much room to go on here, but we couldn’t recommend Naked War enough – go and sign up, download the client then accept your challenge from one of the game’s creators. Oh, and prepare to get battered by them. It is a bit unfair, but you can go on to play other people who aren’t as good.

Ok – gotta admit, this is the first we’ve heard free-to-play and Naked in the same sentence. Well done Pickford Brothers, and HS for picking this one up! :)
