    I'm looking for suggestions for decent free games to download. I've already got one - FEAR Combat and have tried Enemy Territory before but didn't like it. Any more suggestions?

    I think there still is a free ad-supported version of Far Cry out there. Go Google it up if you want a full-length 3D Game.

    Also try GameTap! They had the great Psychonauts on there for a while.. also try the Hitman Series there!

    Well, the Ad-support version of Far Cry was only installable over the Thanks Giving weekends, so it doesn't work anymore :(.

    WarRock is a free FPS, however, the community is junk (they're all like ZOMG LAGZOR HA><012 in every game), and the fact that it is Peer 2 Peer means major lag. It also is biased towards those who pay (in terms of benefits), but if you got skill, you can still pwn.

    If you're interested in free multiplayer online games there is a game called Archlords that is available for free, and there is also a Pirates of the Caribbean online game for free (I haven't tried the Pirates game, so I can't comment on its quality).

    Gunz was a decent shooter, until they closed the servers for whatever reason.
