Keep in mind that I may have not played or used some of the things that are listed. Some things you'll have to check out yourself.
MULTIMEDIA APPLICATIONS
The GIMP - http://www.gimp.org/
---
The GIMP is practically photoshop for the poor. You can do all kinds of junk, such as apply filters and effects. There are tons of other neat stuff as well. If you're a comic maker and you're stuck with MS Paint, this is a good program to take it's place.
GIMPShop - http://plasticbugs.com/index.php?p=241
---
GIMPShop is pretty much just GIMP, but with a more photoshop friendly interface. I recommend this over the original GIMP.
Paint.net - http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/
---
Paint.net is another great image editing/creating program. While it may not have quite as many features as the GIMP, it is much easier to use. Think of this as MS Paint on steroids.
Pivot Stick Animator - http://www.geocities.com/peter_bone_uk/pivot.html
---
Pivot Stick Animator allows you to create your own stick cartoons without having to deal with flash or any other program as such. It's possible to make them in 5 minutes, but if you really want to create something worth watching, you're going to have to spend some time on it. It can get quite addicting, which almost makes you forget how time consuming it can be.
Easy Toon - http://www.superfundungeonrun.com/easytoon/
---
Easy Toon is very much like Pivot Stick Animator, but is much more challenging to make something compelling with. And as sad as it always is, the more complex something is, the more possibilties it brings. If you were to master this program, you could make some pretty kickass stuff!
GameCam - http://www.planetgamecam.com/
---
GameCam is an alternative to the game recording program Fraps. While it DOES have a watermark, and last time I checked it doesn't have any limit to the length of videos you can record.
Take One (Recommended by Rutilant) - http://www.take1.de/
---
Take One is a free GIF animator. Don't let the cheesiness of the website fool you, it's quite a good program. Check out the site for more information.
Open Office - http://www.openoffice.org/
---
Open Office is pretty much everything from MS Office, but for free... and better! Check out the website for more information.

---

Wings 3D - http://www.wings3d.com/
---
Wings 3D is a free, open-source modeling program. I don't know a whole bunch about modeling (Actually, I know next to nothing), but it seems that if you're looking for a free modeling program this wouldn't be a bad place to start.
Anim8or - http://www.anim8or.com/main/index.html
---
Anim8or is another free modeling/animation program that, from what I have read, is one of the simplest around. That being said, I think it's a safe bet to take that THIS would be a good place to start. Also, some of the stuff on the main page may not be all that great, but there really is some impressive stuff in the gallery section.
Blender3D - http://www.blender3d.com/cms/Home.2.0.html
---
Yet another 3D modeling program. Like I said, I know nothing about modeling, so you're going to have to check the site yourself.
IrfanView - http://www.irfanview.com/
---
IrfanView is a good imageviewer/editor. You can make slideshows, apply effects, and if I recall you can also make gifs with it. Check out the link above for more information.
Pixia - http://park18.wakwak.com/~pixia/
---
Yet another image editor created by some japanese guy. I check the program out, and I was rather impressed. While the site may not be of the highest quality, don't let that turn you off from the program itself. Check out the link above for more information.
Terragen - http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/
---
Terrigen is a program that creates realistic environments. It's something that many people use to create their own skyboxes for HL1/HL2/other FPS games.
Artpad - http://artpad.art.com/artpad/painter/
---
Artpad is a very impressive site that lets you paint just as you would with actual paint. You can also see the way people have drawn or painted their work. Probably a good way to learn new drawing techniques.
DAZ Studio - http://www.daz3d.com/program/studio/1_0index.php
---
"Free 3d posing and animation software.

---
I wasn't really sure where to throw this , so I put in the art section. This program allows you to create your own lego models, and if you'd like, you can even upload to the lego website and buy everything you'd need to make the model in real life!
ArtRage - http://www.ambientdesign.com/artrage.html
---
This is an impressive program that allows you to create realistic looking drawings on your computer. While there is both a free and full edition, the free version has some pretty nice features, and has a very sexy look to it.
PhotoPlus 6 - http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/sof...us/default.asp
---
"PhotoPlus 6 is the fun photo editing software that brings professional image editing to everyone with just a few clicks of the mouse. This free download enables beginners and professionals alike to produce incredible images for print, multimedia and the web." - The website.

Peter - http://www.gemtree.com/peter.htm
---
I wasn't exactly sure where to put this, and I decided to put it here. Here's a description from the website: "The Peter system is a visual programming tool designed for a simple and fast generation of the programs for Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP. Its principal characteristic is the graphical presentation of the program structure. The program sections are assembled using the mouse like a jigsaw puzzle. Thanks to the justification check of the element combinations, carried out already at the time of the program generation, there is no chance of syntactic failure origination. The program presentation by means of a tree structure enables a considerable improvement of the program lucidity. The creation of the program is quickly becoming extraordinary easy and flexible."
GAMES
Soldat - http://www.soldat.prv.pl/
---
Soldat is a 2D shooter in which the quickest and most effective way to describe it would be a mix of Counter-Strike, Halo, Tribes, and Super Smash Brothers mixed into one crazy package. So, you have a jetpack that helps you get around the level, and a quite a few different weapons to dish out the destruction with, plus a grenade button for some quick kills. There is also quite a few different modes and settings to play with, including good 'ol CTF, classic Deathmatch, and plenty more. The biggest beef I have with this game, however, is the weapon balancing. For the most part it isn't really that bad, but when you're playing CTF against a whole bunch of grenade launcher whores, you'll see what I'm saying. Also there is a map maker you can download from the site which is fairly easy to use, so you could have some fun with that as well. I highly recommend this game to all.
Gunz: The Duel - http://www.gunzonline.com/
---
Gunz is yet another game that I've heard is great, but really don't know too much about myself. I downloaded it, then couldn't even get on to a server and didn't bother with it after that. From what I've been told, it's a massively multiplayer online shooting game that has all kinds of crazy Matrix shit. Check out the website for more information.
MapleStory - http://www.mapleglobal.com/
---
MapleStory is a 2D MMORPG. To be honest, I really don't know much about this game. I played for about 15 minutes and stopped playing right there. A bit too repetitive for me, but I know a lot of people who play and enjoy it. If you want to learn more about the game, you're going to have to look on the site, which can only be seen on Internet Explorer.
Kal Online - http://www.kalonline.com/
---
Okay, I think you get the point that I'm not too big on MMO games. This is another free MMORPG. I played it, too repetitive for my tastes. Once again, if you're at all interested, check out the site.
Gunbound - http://www.softnyx.net/
---
Gunbound is pretty much a free version of the classic Worms games, but less fun. If you don't own a Worms game but need your fix of wormage, it really isn't too bad of a game. Don't be expecting it to be an equal to the classic game, or else you'll ruin the entire thing for yourself.
America's Army - http://www.americasarmy.com/
---
America's Army is your pretty much your standard realistic shooter, but you have to go through training bullshit before you can go online. Yay! I've heard it can be quite realistic, though.
Quake Construct - http://mods.moddb.com/5373/
---
Construct is pretty much Gmod, but can play on computers that couldn't even dream of playing Gmod. No advanced physics or any of that kind of jazz, but still good fun.
War Rock - http://www.warrock.net/
---
Yet another game I haven't played, but has gotten quite a bit of praise from what I've seen some members say on facepunch. Check it out.
Counter-Strike 2D - http://www.cs2d.com/ X
---
Counter-Strike 2D is pretty much Counter-Strike mixed with the first two GTA games. Give it a go.
Paintball 2 - http://mods.moddb.com/2155/Paintball-2/
---
I remember my friend recommending that game to me. It's a paintball game that runs on an updated Quake 2 engine. Tons of wacky sounds. Should be fun for a least a little while.
Wolfenstein: EnemyTerritory - http://games.activision.com/games/wolfenstein/
---
This is a free, multiplayer-only game, released by the good folks at id, software that is set in the Wolfenstein universe. I've had very little expereience with this game, but it seems quite nice for a free game. Check it out!
Nexuiz - http://www.nexuiz.com/
---
Nexuiz is a fast-paced, futuristic deathmatch game that is very much along the lines of Quake 3. With the time that I've spent with it, it's quite entertaining, with some nice graphics to boot. I'm also impressed with the game's quality, considering the fact that you're not paying anything. I highly recommend you give this game a look!
Ogame - http://www.ogame.org/
---
Ogame is a futuristic browser-based game. While I have not played it, apparently many facepunch members are into it. For more information, check out the website.
Stick Online - http://www.bigsnoot.net/dustnet/index.html
---
Stick Online is a black and white, sidescrolling MMORPG. Once again, this is not a game that I've played, but it's popular here on facepunch. Check out the website for more information!
FreeOrion - http://www.freeorion.org/index.php/Main_Page
---
FreeOrion is a free alternative to the game Master of the Orion 3, A galactic conquest game. Be sure to give the like a look!
Enemy Nations - http://www.windwardreports.com/enemy_nations.htm
---
Enemy Nations is an old RTS which was apparently "ahead" of the times. It feels like Civilization mixed with Red Alert. It's now free via their website.
GTA/GTA2/Wild Metal - http://www.rockstargames.com/classics/gta.html
---
The original 2 GTA games are available for free downloads via the Rockstar website. If you haven't played the original 2, they're a lot like GTA 3, but with a top-down view. Not quite as fun as GTA 3, but that's not to say they're bad. Also, Wild Metal is available, but I've never heard of it or played it. Click the link for more information and the download links.
Noctis - http://anywherebb.com/noctis.html
---
Noctis is a 3D space exporation game which apparently has a very large scale. Billions of stars you can explore and you can even meet different life-forms.
Madness Combat Interactive - http://mail.rochester.edu/~mabernet/...sh/madness.zip
---
Madness Combat Interactive is a single-player, side-scrolling shooter that is based off the Madness Combat flash animations. This game is very hard, and could totally use some cover... but it could be fun for a little while.
Cube - http://sourceforge.net/projects/cube/
---
Cube is free shooter much along the lines of the Quake games. While I don't know too much about it, I've heard it has a very unique mapping system.
BlockLand - http://www.blockland.us/index.asp
---
BlockLand is a Lego building game that I've been told by some that is really entertaining. The graphics don't look like they're that hot, but gameplay is what matters, right? Check out the website for more information. http://rtb.mocheeze.com/download.htm Return to Blockland mod for Block Land which is said to have many nice features that are not in the original version
Hell of Sand - www.onemorelevel.com/hellofsand.php
---
While I don't usually throw web-based games up on this list, this game is definitely bad enough (As in good enough, because I'm not cool like 'dat) to hand with the big boys. Here is what Canesfan had to say about it: "That game will really hold you on for at least three days. It has realistic physics, such as oil burns really fast, water makes plants grow, but if you mix salt with the water, it won't affect plant growth. You can make zombies to kill, and set up in random emergency situations. You can also create sand, and wax, which burns slowly, and slowly accumulates if it burns over something."
The Ur-Quan Masters - http://sc2.sourceforge.net/
---
I don't know anything about this game, so I'm going to quote Cablekid: "Cool and fun game based off of the sourcecode for Star Control 2. Explore the galaxy, find aliens and make your own fleet to battle the evil empire of aliens or persuade them to join your fleet." Sounds pretty neat if you ask me. Check the above link for more.
Wyvern (Recommended by Game Informer Magazine) - http://www.cabochon.com/
---
Wyvern is another free MMORPG that I got out of an old Game Informer article (Yay for Mod World). While it may have very, very (very) outdated graphics, it's said to have some nice character customization, and plenty of dungeons to master. Check out the link above for more information
FreeCiv - http://www.freeciv.org/index.php/Freeciv
---
FreeCiv is a free, open-source game based off the Civilization series. Civilization is a turn-based strategy game where you take control of a nation and win in several different ways. Check out the link above for more information on FreeCiv.

---

Ground Control - http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/groundcontrol/
---
The RTS game Ground Control, has been released for free to promote Ground Control 2. Check out the above link for more information.
StepMania - http://www.stepmania.com/
---
StepMania is pretty much free DDR for your computer! But with this, you can put on your own music and jazz like that. If you like DDR, check this out. Keep in mind, that you cannot download a dancepad.
Crack Attack - http://www.nongnu.org/crack-attack/index.html
---
While it may sound like some sort of crazy druggy busting game, it's actually a clone of the classic SNES puzzle game - "Tetris Attack", which is not to be mistaken for Tetris. They both have very different concepts. In my opinion, Tetris Attack is the most addictive puzzle game of all time. While Crack Attack may not have all the neat modes from Tetris Attack intact (Haha), it still has the core gameplay, and that's what really counts.
Orbiter - http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/orbit.html
---
ORBITER is a free flight simulator that goes beyond the confines of Earth's atmosphere. Launch the Space Shuttle from KennedySpaceCenter to deploy a satellite, rendezvous with the International Space Station or take the futuristic Delta-glider for a tour through the solar system - the choice is yours. But make no mistake - ORBITER is not a space shooter. The emphasis is firmly on realism, and the learning curve can be steep. Be prepared to invest some time and effort to brush up on your orbital mechanics background.
Starport GE - http://www.starportgame.com/
---
The hit game Starport is now available and still 100% free to play. Be the captain of a space-ship in this fully graphical action game. Carve out a name for yourself in a multi-player world full of intrigue and strategy. Team up with other real people, or blast them out of the sky. Explore distant star systems, establish colonies on alien worlds, hunt for treasures, and try to become the most famous captain in all the galaxy!

---
The free space simulation that lets you explore our universe in three dimensions. Celestia runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
Open TTD - http://www.openttd.org/index.php
---
OpenTTD is a clone of the Microprose game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe", a popular game originally written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features.

---
The CodeRED games are a series of shooters that take place in a 50s-esqe alien movie setting. While CodeRED: Battle for Earth and CodeRED: The Martian Chronicles are singleplayer games, CodeRED: Alien Arena 2006 is a deathmatch style game simlar to that of Quake 3 or the Unreal games.
Battle for Wesnoth - http://www.wesnoth.org/
---

Racer (Recommended by Cablekid) - http://www.racer.nl/
---

Cars, tracks and such can be created relatively easy (compared to other, more closed, driving simulations). The 3D and other file formats are, or should be, documented. Editors and support programs are also available to get a very customizable and expandable simulator. OpenGL is used for rendering." - Cablekid
The Universal (Recommended by Cabledude) - http://theuniversal.net/
---
"The Universal is a free, massively multiplayer online game in which you explore a virtual galaxy with worlds owned, run and populated by other players. Each world in the galaxy is different, with different themes and gameplay styles - from persistent economies to arcade-style blasters." - Cabledude
Second Life - (Recommended by Cabledude) - http://secondlife.com/
---
"An online society within a 3D world where you can explore, build, socialize, and participate in their own economy. (note, this game is a pay to play if you want a Premium account, but a basic account is free as long as you provide either a Phone Number/Service, or a valid credit card.)" - Cabledude
Liero Xtreme (Recommended by Orkel) - http://lieroxtreme.thegaminguniverse.com/
---
This is a fun game that's like a real-time version of worms. Tons of a wacky weapons, destructable environments, multiplayer action, and much more. Also, there are plenty of different skins that you can choose from, including 8-bit Mario, which sold me completely on this game.
N (Recommended by Darky) - http://www.harveycartel.org/metanet/n.html
---
N is a free sidescrolling game that's said to be reminisent of Lode-Runner. It has some neat, stylish graphics.
Scorched 3D - http://www.scorched3d.co.uk/
---
Scorched 3D is a 3D (dur!) version of the game Scorched Earth, which is a turn-based artillery game (Think Worms). For a free game, it has some impressive features, such as completely destructable environments and random map generation. The website obviously isn't all that sexy, but the game itself really isn't all that bad looking.
Glest - http://glest.org/
---
Glest is a free RTS game in a fantasy setting (Warcraft 3-ish). Check out the website for more information.
Wulfram 2 - http://www.wulfram.com/
---

FlightGear - http://www.flightgear.org/
---
FlightGear is a free flight simulation game. While I haven't actually tried the game myself, it looks pretty nice. Check out the link above for more information.
Close Combat 2: A Bridge Too Far - http://www.closecombatseries.net/CCS...download&cid=7
---
"A Bridge Too Far offers real-time action that makes the battlefield come
alive with the sights and sounds of war. Your men in the trenches behave
like real soldiers—they react realistically to the stress of combat and are
affected by their fatigue level, ability, physical and mental
condition, and other factors. Depending on these factors,
your men may respond immediately to your orders, take
time to respond, or not respond at all. However, your
soldiers’ reactions are not out of your hands. Your ability to
take control and make timely decisions determines
whether, and how quickly, your men respond to orders.
In addition to battlefield tactics, A Bridge Too Far adds a
strategic layer. You are faced with the challenge of managing
a limited set of resources, particularly if you are
playing the Allied side. In the actual Operation Market-
Garden, the Allies outdistanced their supply lines, while
the Germans retreated into theirs. Regardless of which side
you play, you need to plan an overall strategy, evaluate
your status throughout the game, and decide how to best
allocate your resources.
When you play the game, your short-term decisions affect
your long-term success. Information about supplies, troop
morale, health, equipment, and which maps you control is" - The game's manual.
Trackmania: Nations - http://www.trackmanianations.com/
---
This is an amazingly fun racing game, that by the looks of the site, you would think it was just your average, generic racing sim. IT'S NOT. I'd like to think of this game as Super Monkey Ball, but in racing game form. All kinds of crazy loops and jumps for your car to overcome. Also, this game installs Starforce on your computer. You should probably do a google search and see if this bugs you any. It really is a great game, however, and I'd hate for anyone to miss out.
Rakion - http://rakion.softnyx.net/
---
"Rakion: A 3D game where you can choose between 5 classes - Mage (My favorite), Archer, Ninja, Warrior, or Blacksmith. Made by the the same team as Gunbound. In my opinion it's better than Gunbound." - TiGeR.
Advance Wars By Web - http://awbw.amarriner.com/
---
This is a site that lets you play the popular GameBoy Advance game "Advance Wars" over the web, against other players, with nothing more than your browser. The person who made the site is still working on adding more of the game's content, such as the AWDS units and COs. If you've never played an Advance Wars game before, there's also a section that teachs you a little bit about it so you can enjoy it as well.
Charred Dirt - http://www.charreddirt.com/
---
This is a remake, of sorts, of the game 'Scorched Earth'. While I've never actually played the original Scorched Earth, I guess it's what spawned games like Worms and Gunbound. So basically, you take turns on a 2D play field and blow the crap out of eachother and the environment. In this game, however, when you blow stuff up the broken pieces don't float in the air, they fall to the ground in a rather neat effect. I suppose this could be a fairly fun way to throw away an afternoon if you have some friends to play with, but since there never seems to be any servers online, I'd just stick with Gunbound.
Runescape - http://www.runescape.com/
---
Bah, fine. I'm adding Runescape to the list. If you haven't already heard about it, it's an incredibly popular, free, browser based MMORPG. Pretty much everybody in my school is into it. While I've never played it, if it sounds like your thing, give it a go!
Subspace Continuum - http://beginners.subspace.net/
---
A Massively Multiplayer Space Combat game of some sort. It looks fairly interesting.
"A 3D Space Simulator that allows you to trade and bounty hunt in a vast universe." - The website.
Dispatch of Army - http://doa.cube-asia.com/
---
Finally, an MMO game that doesn't make me want to vomit in disgust, because it's and FPS! Check out the site for more information.
Not pr0n - http://deathball.net/notpron/notpron.htm
---
A bunch of internet puzzles, claimg to be "The hardest riddle available on the internet". Really, really fun but really, really hard. NOT A POINT AND CLICK THING
Mystery of Space and Time -
---
"MOTAS is an online graphic adventure game in which the adventurer has to solve riddles and puzzles, find and use objects, escape from locked rooms, find hidden passages and be a detective and examine everything to unlock the doors of the mystery of time and space." - The website. A pretty fun point-and-click adventure game.

iSketch - http://www.isketch.net/

---
Like the above 'Advance Wars by Web', a way to play the GBA game 'Fire Emblem' against other players.

•Fluid aiming system
•Stop assassins by shooting them, knocking them unconscious, disarming them, tackling the VIP out of the line of fire, or any combination of the above.
It's recomended you read the readme in the place where you downloaded the installation file. Be warned, this could get addictive." - Monkey_123's post.
Sodaplay (Recommended by Hamburgler) - http://www.sodaplay.com/
---
"Sodaplay is an open-ended, physics-reliant 2D (Java-based, while we're at it) sandbox remeniscent of Garry's Mod. You start by placing lines and line segments. You join them together and can fix points to the 'wall' or set up certain variables. Additionally, you can make a line segment a 'muscle', and have it fire at a set moment, helping you build walkers, cars and the like. Some people have amde insanely complex vehicles and scenes, some using mathematical formulas, and some examples are included in the 'game'. I highly suggest it, it's very fun and requires no download." - Hamburgler's post.

A clone of the popular Xbox Live Arcade game 'Geometry Wars'. If you don't know, it's Robotron on drugs. Very addictive. About just as fun to watch as it is to play, sometimes the visuals can be overwhelming.

The classic shooter DOOM, but for free! ... Well, kind of. The source for the DOOM engine was released, but the game's content was not, so these guys took it upon themselves to make a DOOM game that's completely free!

Steel Panthers: World At War - http://www.steelpanthersonline.com/main.asp

"Steel Panthers: World at War is a tactical level, World War II era, historical wargame. This is a very highly refined version of Steel Panthers III, placed in the Steel Panthers I game scale. We used Steel Panthers III since it was the most stable version of the game engine yet created. The original game series was designed by Gary Grigsby, Keith Brors and Joel Billings. SP:WaW is a hex based, top down view, alternating turn ("I go, you go" or IGOUGO) game design. SP:WaW also includes a timed play feature, giving each player a specific amount of time to conduct his turn before it ends and his opponent's turn begins. Armor, gun and vehicle units are represented by individual icons. Each infantry squad can have up to 25 men in it. Machine guns, mortars and artillery units are also realisticaly portrayed and crewed. Each hex represents 50 yards (meters) of the virtual battlefield, with many new terrain features added. Each game turn represents a few minutes of real time, and games can last from a few turns to entire campaigns." - Website.

I'm not entirely sure about this, but it looks like a very interesting puzzle game. It won an award in 2004's Independant Game Festival, so it can't be all that bad.

Curator Defense - http://www.davidbhowe.net/cd/main.htm

This game is very reminicent of the popular defense games of Starcraft and Warcraft 3. If you don't know what those are, I'm summarize it for you. You got a huge hoarde of enemys coming your way, so you build structures and such to stop them to get to a certain position. If too many units get past, the game is over.
