Rakion- From the makers of Gunbound, Rakion is a brawling game not unlike counterstrike, except for the whole Medieval Times deal. Really good, and if you have a GB account, you can use that. MCC*

Gunz- Online shooter/sword style game where you face off against other players, trying to shoot, stab, blow up, or any other thing you can do to kill them. Similar to Rakion, but more based on ranged attacks, and has wall running! WOO!
Graphics are same as Rakion, controls are the same as Rakion, and game interface is the same as Rakion. It's so similar it's creepy. MCC*

Dofus- 2d RPG* game. Can be played in either French* or English. It's a fighting game that allows you to take control of a character from a variety of classes. May get confusing, so add me or Roadtoad (Ferretanica + Roadtoad) MCC*
Votes-
NONE!
Maplestory- This game's a 2d sidescroller that let's you train a beginning fighter into an advanced character. Also, you have to be very specific in your stat building, so find a guide. Turns out I didn't lose my char*. Silly me. MCC*

America's Army- Shooting game made by the army (Coughcoughrecruitmentcough) that's actually quite good. Up to the end of training, in which you get repeatedly maimed and/or shot due to gun jams. Oh, and a lesson. Keep away from people who can't use a 'nade. Here's an example: Noobs*+'Nades=Lose
And here's a lesson about using the grenade launcher. As in don't: Launchers Are Painful

Flying/Random-
YS Flight Simulation System 2000- Flying sim with average/low graphics that I must say is amazing. Network interface* could use some work, but meh. You can pilot planes, and though it may not seem so, trust me. This is a helluva lot easier to control then other flight sims. Watch it with your bombers. They can't handle the strain of a 45 degree incline, or they'll stall*.

FlightGear- A flying game similar to YSFlight, but with much better graphics and no air combat (at least as far as I know). Features a realistic cockpit interface and dozens of planes from WWI to modern day.

Strategy-
That's weird, there's no free strategy games... Huh.
Key-
A- Archer: Depending on which game, archers are pretty much the cheapst type you can get. So if you choose archer, hide your candy *** somewhere where I can't lightning off your head. Cause at least I have a limited MP. Sheesh. ^_^ Don't be afraid, archers aren't actually that bad. I'm so mean...
Also called- Ranger, bowman, hunter, and marksman.
Subdivisions of bowman and crossbowman.

Knight: The basis of all rpgs, and the best beginner class. Close range combat does either a lot or a little damage, but the high armor and high hp make up for that. Also called- Brawler, fighter, swordsman, paladin, and bruiser. It might not neccessarily be a knight with those names, so watch out.

L-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
M-
Mage: Almost always the coolest character class eva! Spells such as lightning, rush attack, and magic arrow give mages huge advantages over other classes. Low armor and hp are made up for by gigantic ranged magic attack and high mp. Also known as- Magician, wizard, and spellcaster. Most break down into subdivisions made up some of the basic elements (Fire, water, ice, earth, and air), along with necromancers, shapeshifters, muses, summoners, and warlocks.
MCC: Multiple character compatible. Means you can have more than one character per user. So you can try out all the classes.
