GameHippo Strikes Back!

The great hippo used a phoenix down, somehow it looks a little different though...

Approximately six months ago, the big orange hippo went belly up, marking the end of an era. Just when people finally got over the loss of their beloved hippo and moved on with crayon in one hand and goo in the other, the great freeware deity casted Life1 on the great hippo, and so the great orange hippo was back, bigger, stronger, and (hopefully) better than ever.

Basically, if you don't know what GameHippo is, here's a description of the site from many-a-post ago:

Many should have come across GameHippo at one point or another. Nearly a decade old, GameHippo (http://gamehippo.com/) is a freeware PC game download site with a huge index of games of all kinds, no shareware, no demos, just free games. At its prime, GameHippo was THE site to go to for updates on the latest freeware games, and GameHippo was the site that got many people into independent/free games (myself included).
