Powering up the zero-sum games

FREE-TO-PLAY ON YER XMAS CONSOLES

FORTNITE: One of the most-played Battle Royale shooter games out there, expect cartoony graphics in a big open world to explore - all while trying to be the last one standing in massive online firefights of 100 players.

ROBLOX: This is a Lego-looking game described as “the ultimate virtual universe that lets you create, share experiences with friends, and be anything you can imagine”.

What that means is a library of player-made games that younger gamers love to play with pals online. You can expect puzzle games, garden growing adventures, scary horror games and vast city simulations among scores of others.

GAMERS who woke up to a shiny new console on Christmas morning could be looking at forking out £70-a-pop for an exciting title to play on it.

But there’s a growing list of free-to-play video games to download.

★ Here, TOM HUTCHISON gives you the lowdown on the best free titles to play right now on Playstations, Nintendos and Xboxes...

eFOOTBALL: Okay so it’s not the FC series from Electronic Arts, but this is still a very impressive free football game featuring teams like Arsenal and Man Utd.
