There's a ton of free online games out there that aren't complete shit, so I thought I'd attempt to make a list of my personal favorites. Feel free to add more.
First Person Shooters
Sauerbraten
Sauerbraten is a online/offline first person shooter that features extensive game modes, low lag (I play it online frequently, and I have 56k dialup), and my favorite: Multiplayer online coop map editing, all in real-time.
It's extremely fast-paced, I'd compare it to Doom/Quake. My favorite gametype is all snipers, instagib. You've gotta give it a try, especially the map editing. Offline play is a bit of a joke, though it can be fun too.
It is based on the Cube II game engine, and is still being regularly updated and developed. I also highly recommend the Solaras HUD GUNS mod, found here:

Nexuiz
Nexuiz is a online/offline first person shooter that is extremely comparable to Quake/Unreal Tournament. Great lighting effects and graphics, and interesting weapons. Offline bots are quite a challenge on the higher difficulties.
Been downloaded over 1.5 million times since its first release in 2005, it is still being regularly updated and developed.

Assault Cube
Assault cube is a online first person shooter comparable to counterstrike, and is based on the original Cube engine. Pretty fun, low-lag game.

Real Time Strategy
Warzone 2100
Warzone 2100 is, simply, amazing. Think of a RTS-type game, such as command and conquer. Now, replace Tiberium with Oil for your main income, and give it a massive tech tree. I mean MASSIVE.
First off, you design your own tanks. Yeah. That's right. You pick a turret, a body, and a propulsion method, such as tracks, wheels, etc. How badass is THAT shit?
Now, back to the tech tree. It has over 400 different technologies. This game is HUGE.
Highly recommended. Challenging singleplayer as well.

Soldat
Soldat needs to be mentioned here. Online/offline platform shooter with many game modes and custom maps. It's pretty damn fun, my personal favorite next to Sauerbraten. One of those games you just have to try.
You have a list of guns to pick from at the start of the game, and whenever you die and respawn. Aim with mouse, move with WASD, and shoot with left mouse. Oh yeah, right mouse is a JETPACK. This is some fun shit.

Armagetron
Comments
It's flash based but once you start playing, it's pretty hard to stop.

YES CAPTAIN FOREVER IS WIN
N is a pretty addicting game too, I played it for a long ass time back in high school and then couldn't beat it. Took me years to finally have the patience to beat this game:

Should I hide?
Free open source version of Civilisaiton.
Fucking sick and addictive. I once stayed up for like 30 hours straight whilst waging a huge campaign on the world on hard difficulty. I fucked all them brehs up though :mad:.
Anime style tennis game with upgrades and special powers. You play people online and work your way up ranks, being able to buy rackets, shoes, magic, etc along the way. Gets quite cool when you keep playing through. There's also lots of rooms to chat in and organise matches and do things like fishing and decorate your house, etc.
A few other games on teh site too.
Oh man. I'm addicted to this shit now, thanks

No problem man, I love the game too. If we got enough people to play we could probably create a totse room.

http://www.regnumonline.com.ar/ - is a mmorpg , 3d graphics , something like WoW and/or warhammer.
CROSSFIRE FPS - first person shooter game , pretty cool , but still has hackers mostly those Brazilian faggots .

both you have to DL and install , online game play. no offline.
AssaultCube is a networked FPS. I don't know if it's fast-paced because I don't know how fast fast is but it seems kind of fast. Low graphics quality but the important part is it runs smoothly and lightly. I like One Shot One Kill (I don't know why they can't call it instagib like everyone else). Playing public servers as .Fs*|Jack (not right now)
We used to set up a computer in my schools computer lap as a dedicated server and all the nerdy kids would go on and have LAN parties during school... Shit was so cash.

It's an FPS that is completely free to anyone who wants to play. Gore was made very well and i would recommend it to anyone that likes doom or quake. It has a dark feel to it but it doesn't take itself to seriously, and the maps are some of the best ive ever seen. There is an old west one, a city rooftops one, and a space station to name a few.
9/10

Downloading this one atm. It seems pretty fun. Is there a good amount of servers? Do they have good ping?
