What types of games are you interested in? What OS?

Here's a few free 2D and 3D games worth considering (use Google):

GLTron (3D light cycles)
Frets on Fire (the poor-man's Guitar Hero)
Icy Tower (2D platform jumping)
Open Arena (The open source kiddies go crazy over it but it's just a new graphics pack on top of the Quake 3 engine.)
Neverball (a cross between Marble Madness and Monkey Ball)
Scorched 3D (Artillery duel)
TrackMania Nations (Stunt car racing)
Stunts (A very old, but fun, stunt car racing game. Yes it's 3D.)

And a couple not-as-good ones to try out for craps and giggles:

Tux Racer (Cool Boarders with a penguin, no opponents and no stunts)
TORCS (Gran Turismo style racing with flat car shading and fiddly controls)

I'm not sure of the file sizes but these are ones I've tried. (You could always let larger files download overnight as long as your connection is always on.)

Unreal Tournament and Half Life 1 are freeware now, I think. At least parts of them.

GLtron is great.

Try tremulous. Its probably thep best free game around, just find a server with a ping near yours!

If you ned help tremming, pm me. My in-game name is [TK]Spongy (trem kings). I mainly play on australian / kiwi servers.

Trackmainia crashed my compy. It was fun but I would recommend it at all. Apparently it uses some program to stop pirating but it kills your compy or something.

I would suggest the Original Unreal Tournament and Tux Racer.

The best free 3D games that I know of are OpenArena and Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. They are a lot better than Tremulous IMO.
