February was an unusually big month for game releases, with Mewgenics, Edmund McMillen's first game in years, selling half a million copies in just a few days. And Resident Evil Requiem will even crack the sales charts by the end of the month. While you're wondering how to find time to play all this, we've prepared a selection of classic free games for the weekend.
