free games (of the free kind)

yeah sure, kikizo is giving away free games, but what about free games that are free for the sake of being free? well here are some classics for you to enjoy (and be pleasently surprised) - let' s start with first person shooters.
F.E.A.R. Combat is the multiplayer componate of the game F.E.A.R.. There is no catches and this is not a secondrate downgraded version, it' s esencially F.E.A.R. without the single player.
America' s Army is the American, tax payer funded, first-person shooter designed as a propaganda tool to get American citizens into the US Army (all jokes aside, that is a damn scary thought - just imagine the people who play these games, then imagine them with the responsibilty of protect the US *is thankful he' s not a yank*). despite all of this, it' s got some of the best weapon systems you' ll find (or it did, there is quite the influx of fps since I' ve play America' s Army so this might have well changed). anyway, if you are a counter-strike geek, or you jsut enjoy fps, this definatly should be in your downlaod queue.
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. now before you start, I am well aware how terrible return to castle wolenstein was, but jsut hear me out. they decided to make a sequal to said game but for some reason decided to give the game out free instead of asking money for it. this is a real shame (for them) because, w: et is such a fantastic little game. it' s not a huge resource hog like the last two but it still has fantastic gameplay, great graphics, and it' s just a damn fine fps shooter to play. also, little things like say, if you are connecting to a server and you don' t have a mod, map or otherwise (excluding official release patches) it downloads it for you. Oh, and unlike UT, it does it at whatever speed the server of the source file (the downlaod times in ut I' ve found are just painful). If you are unsure, you are best to start with w: et. if you are downloading you might want to download the latest patches for it also (also, downlaod somehting called the ' patch selector' which comes in handy).
well that is my pick for this week, enjoy…
