Video games are great, in fact everyone should play video games at some point in there life. Sadly, the truth is not everyone has the cash to afford the games now days. with the console wars rageing and the consoles costing outragious amounts of money we can not all play the PS 3 and the X-box 360. Most people have a computer at home but games are a bit expensive at fifty dollars a pop, so why not play free online games.

One example of such a game is Rakion. Rakion is a free online role playing game. The free element is great but what makes it all the more better is that the graphics are pretty good. This is how it works you make an account and can create up to three characters per account.Charaters consist of BlackSmith, Warrior, Archer, Ninja, and Mage. Then, with those characters you play games such as team death match and solo death match along with other games. After each game round in the game you get expirience points and gold. The expirience is used to gain levels and then earn skill pionts to distribute. the gold is used to puchase items like armor and wepons.

The minimum system requirements are Windows 98 or higher, Pentium III 1.2 Ghz CPU, 256MB of RAM, and Geforce 2 MX or Radeon 9200 video cards. This game is available at http://rakion.softnyx.net/. Download and insatall the lancher then run it and it is pretty selfexplanitory from there
