I have a theory. Ever since social gaming became the “in” thing, people have realized one thing. You can get spanking good games for free anymore. Facebook and MySpace offer a plethora of free games to try. It’s overwhelming, really. So because of all of these free games available through social networking sites, independent game developers were in the deep doo-doo.

But now, a bunch of independent developers are cranking out really good free games online. It used to be that the only free games you could play online were at shady-ass sites that were full of flash games made by 12 year olds and viri. Now you can get all of the flash game goodies you want for free. Hallelujah, hallelujah!

Gamasutra compiled a list of the best free games of 2009. Check it out, why don’t ya? And might I recommend clicking the “Minotaur China Shop” game. But if you don’t get the hilarity of title, don’t bother. If you have to ask, it just isn’t that funny anymore.
