Blobby Volley   
This is a cool German 3D game - with attributes like wild, weird and wonderful! It's about two blobs playing volleyboll on the beach. Each blob can be controlled either by the computer or by a human, which makes this game a 0-2 multiplayer game. The computer player (Adam) has 3 skill levels. The rule of the game is simple. You can only score when you serve and the player who reaches 15 points wins the set. I found it easiest to play using the mouse instead of the keyboard. You will probably need some practice with the timing and coordination of the jumps because a blob cannot jump fast. The ball also bounces against the screen edges which takes some time to get used to. Don't expect super-fast action in Blobby Volley, but it's still really neat! On the main screen you can select English, which I think is a nice freature.
Note: The game played smoothly without DirectX hardware support on a 400 MHz CPU.

Enemy Territory  
Enemy Territory is easily the best freeware first person shooter I have ever played. The game, which was originally supposed to be an expansion pack for Return to Castle Wolfenstein was released as a stand alone freeware game. While there is no single player mode, the multiplayer kicks major butt.
Once you get into the game, you choose to be either on the side of the Axis, or the Allies. Once you have chosen you then must choose what class you would like to be. There are 5 total classes: Soldier, medic, engineer, field ops, and covert ops. Each class has certain weapons that they can use and certain abilities thatcan be used on the battlefield.
Once past all of the team and class choosing, you get to the solid core of ET. You must work together with your team to accomplish certain objectives.
The gameplay is what shines, but the graphics and sound definitely deserve a bit of recognition. Each element in the game is professionally done, so the graphics and sound seem as though they came out of a commercial game.
Bottom line - ET is pure multiplayer fun. The only drawbacks are the large download size, and some people have complained about lag. (I have had no problem with it however)

G-Sector
This update vastly improves the gameplay; it's both faster and smoother, there are new weapons and force shields, and improvements have been made on the kill counter, AI and visual fx. It also offers support for splash screens and new resolutions.
G-Sector is a hoverboard combat game from Ingava (the people who gave us LaserAge). The object is to maneuver Cyra, the heroine, through futuristic cities and arenas, using ramps and tricks to build up speed and avoid enemy fire. You can also return fire. This game has EXCELLENT graphics, sound, and 3D fx. Features include a chasecam and a customizable mouse/keyboard interface. Ingava calls G-Sector a hybrid between an "extreme game" and a 3rd person shooter... I just call it awesome!
Ingava also cautions that some gamers might experience problems with old video cards, ATI video cards, Direct 3D detection (they might soon offer a patch for this one), and AMD K6-2 and K6-3 CPUs. However, don't let all these cautions and requirements keep you from trying G-Sector! It worked fine on my K6-2 PC (all the other requirements were met or exceeded).
G-Sector is well worth the download. It is a full 3D game, using the Genesis 3D engine. All versions are completely Open Source, and contributions to the game are encouraged. Ingava plans to build a large community to support G-Sector.

Happyland Xmas
The scene is that you are located in Happyland where of course everyone is happy. But wait, something is not right! There is evil - and your task is to disarm the evil. You have to transport them to the "box" from where they cannot escape. There is a good help menu within the game that explains all the details. As a little hint to get started with the game: Don't forget that you can also walk to the left and not only scroll the game scene to the right. There are many funny features in this cool 7-level adventure game such as the low-gravity boots and that you can talk to the old man for help/hints. The graphics as well as the sound effects are good. Happyland Xmas also comes with a mapeditor. You can also download more levels (maps) at the homepage.

Hidden and Dangerous Deluxe
Overview
Set during World War II, Hidden & Dangerous (henceforth known as "HDD") is a formely commercial squad based first and third person tactical shooter, somewhat like a WWII version of Rainbow Six, which was released (along with a slew of extra features: the Expansion Pack, re-done graphics and mod-maker) for free to promote the sequel, cunningly titled Hidden and Dangerous 2.
Graphics
Graphics are as, one might expect, rather good, with clean models, lush scenery and fairly smooth animation. However, they are very 'last-generation', with angular features, and a distinct lack of real variety (all your teammates faces look the same, for example) and a lack of 'living' animations (such as breathing, emotion and so on). This can be forgiven to a certain extent, as being a shooter, the aim is usually to make the other team STOP living. Plus the game is originally from the late '90s. However, I must mention that the weapon models are very, very basic, and seem more like 2D sprites rather then solid 3D models, giving a feeling of artificality to the game, however, they can be turned off under the Options menu. I ran the game on a 32MB generic video card at 800x600 and experienced an excellent (60+) framerate.
Sounds and Music
Sound isn't all that good. It seems to come from a variety of 'emitters' dotted around the levels, which is fine if your standing right underneath one, the guns roar, the commands are bellowed, but if your standing a distance from one, the guns sound weak and waterlogged, and you'll be lucky to hear what you just said, which can lead to utter amazement/confusion if you accidently tap the wrong button, as your squad will quite happily throw themselves onto a machine gun nest, forcing a restart.
Gameplay
Gameplay is brilliant. There's a steep learning curve though, made harder by the sometimes clunky interface and awful default bindings. Basically, you choose a team of eight soldiers, each with different skills, then load them up with whatever guns, ammunition, explosives and other equipment you think they'll need. Be warned though, these eight soldiers have to last the WHOLE campaign, if one of them dies in a mission, thats it, hes gone for good, along with any equipment he was carrying on him.
The actual ingame game is tense, edge-of-your seat sneaking, sniping and sabotage, with genuine moments of explosive action as your suddenly rushed by the games variable (from occasional moments of genuine skill, to being nearly moronic) A.I. In a nice twist, the same damage applies to you and your team as to your enemies. The game takes full advantage of this, if a sniper gets a bead on you he'll do his best to shoot you in the head, which will kill instantly, rather then waste precious ammo trying to kill you with 2-3 body shots. A number of vehcles can be piloted, and some even require your entire team to operate it.
Ordering your troops around can be handled one of two ways. You have basic voice commands (think Counter-Strike or similar) to a far more intuitive and complex map-based system, you should be warned though that mass-rushing won't ever work. Not even on the first stage. The game is moderatley violent, however there is no dismemberment, and blood is restricted to a small gush which is only really visible through a sniper scope.
Conclusion
Overall, HDD is tense and enjoyable WWII fun. It's not all peachy though, I have experienced an above-average amount of random crashings and lock-ups, and some weapons are useless or too simliar to standard equipment be worth scavenging. The game also contains a number of historical innaccuracies: The sniper scopes have variable amounts of zoom, and the German officers are equipped with American weapons for example, which seems a little odd when you consider that the game does its best to immerse you in its world. Be warned: this game is nothing like Medal of Honour or Call of Duty, and those with a low tolerance for doing the same repeated thing again, and again will probably be bored to tears. Everyone else is recommended to at least try it, even those with dial-up modems.
Note: The adware in this game is an advert for Hidden And Dangerous 2, which only displays when you have chosen to exit the game from the main menu. No spyware such as Cydoor is installed
