Welcome to Freeware Friday, a weekly column showcasing excellent games that you can play free of charge!

Previously mentioned when we found it through an independent review, the Clonk series is a collection of sandbox games that focus around survival and exploitation of the environment. They are quite good, and all except the latest game are available for free through the official site. Clonk Endeavour is the predecessor to the latest title (Clonk Rage) and it's incredible. While it may not be as well known as other freeware independent titles, it certainly deserves to be, and it is a game that you can easily lose your life to. So maybe it's time that it gets the love it deserves.

There is many a game series that transcends national borders to become a hit all across the world. There's also the occasional series that never make it outside of their country of origin. A review of Clonk is the first we have heard of the German indie series, and frankly, we are very impressed. Featuring real-time gameplay from every genre from strategy to action as well as a robust modding community, Clonk is a sandbox game of excellent make and quality. And best of all, the 8th game in the series is free! Big props to MisterX for bringing this series to our attention. Now if you'll excuse us, we have to go lose our lives to this game.
