I dont know if people want to install it, but I have Vuze as my bittorrent client and it added some online content providing thing called RaptR which has free games. Its a bit like a cut down steam that can open up with Vuze - most of the games looked like MMORPG type things, and I saw lots of manga-ey hairstyles which immediately turned me off. Might be other's cup of tea though ...
Im gonna check this out, sounds fun. Oh and welcome to The Escapist, young one.LegendaryGamer0 said:
The Marathon Series (by Bungie)
http://source.bungie.org
This game is essentially the predecessor to Halo (there is even a couple of achievements in Halo games with marathon-related 'titles'), and is definitely worth checking out, it was released into the free domain by Bungie quite some time ago, just download Aleph One + the Marathon pack that you are interested in and you're all set.
If you want the key storyline, play Marathon, Marathon 2 and Marathon Infinity (in that order), if you want something a little different then try Marathon Evil or Tempus Irae (both use modified Physics engines and new/modified weapons)
EDIT: Also regardless of if you're new to Marathon, or a returning player just for nostalgia, check out Marathon: Eternal X here [http://eternal.bungie.org/] It is one of, if not THE biggest fan-made Marathon project, containing 52 levels, so it will last you a while.

Metal Gear Solid + Christmas = Holiday Espionage Action.
Oh, and it's sequel, Merry Gear Solid 2: Ghosts of Christmas Past.

It somehow makes sense.
Im gonna check this when I finish work. Is it almost as good as Metal Gear Awesome? Yeah one's a video but still, in level of awesomeness?LegendaryGamer0 said:

Check out A.D.O.M (you can't miss it, it's at the top of the list), possibly the best Rogue-alike I've ever played.
To tell the truth, I've never actually had the chance to play through either... Something I am going to remedy right now!Aphex Demon said:
Also, Rogue Survivor.

EDIT: Holy monkey balls, it actually makes more sense than Metal Gear Solid 1.
