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

Nowadays, Rockstar is recognizable for its blockbuster series of satirical, crime-driven, non-linear third-person shooters known as Grand Theft Auto. Back in the early days, however, the studio behind the GTA games was not Rockstar, but DMA Design, which is now known as Rockstar North. They created a number of games, but of note were, of course, the first two games in the GTA series: Grand Theft Auto and Grand Theft Auto 2. It is debatable amongst the community which one is better, but really, there is no contest. Grand Theft Auto 2 is much better in just about every concievable way. Thankfully, Rockstar has been kind enough to bless those without a copy of the original access to the open-ended sandbox gameplay for free!
