Sure, there are a few threads on free games, but how about saying which ones were more than just a passing fancy? Games that you seriously play, because they're just plain great.

For me, I'll start by adding True Combat: Elite. Total-Conversion Wolf:ET mod tactical shooter with a slower pace than most games. Free, with a nice community.
 
While not entirely free, I play a mod for UT2004 called Carball, I've played it for a little over three years now. I don't know why, but it's had me hooked for a long time, along with a fairly large group of regulars who've also been playing for a long time. It's been fun being a part of a game where you know everybody you're playing with. We've had leagues and World Cups and DUI nights, it's been a blast. Unfortunately the game is slowly losing players, but 3 years is more than you can hope for the best of mods. I'm sad to see it go, but I'll always remember how much fun I had with it.

www.carball.net for life.
 
Every once in a while I'll fire up DX Ball. I also play the free pinball that came with Windows. ;)
 
Live For Speed demo. Yes I know its very sad that I don't buy S2, but to do that I would need to get a credit card account and that is just too expensive for 1 game. And the demo offers too much (thats why I play it so much)
 
If you're an old school gamer, go here:

Tons of old games available legally for free. Especially great for adventure game fans, since they stopped making good ones quite some time ago (anyone remember King's Quest, Monkey Island, Grim Fandango?).
 
Gunz is still free, played that for a while...

Then you get to a high level and spend your time shooting at people who dash around the screen with swords and dont shoot back so it got kinda old for me.

Worth a try if you're bored.
 
Warsow

New version just came out yesterday. Awesome free fps built on the quake 2 engine, game is cell shaded and is heavily based on movement like wall jumps, ramp jumps, dashes, etc. Old school deathmatch, duelling, clan arena just added, ctf, and some others. Seems to be more Euro players than US though.
 
Let's see; GunzOnline, SRO, 9Dragons, Knights Online, Hero Online. Just about anything that looks interesting that I can pick up from MMORPG.com. Also play a lot of Artillery Live when bored at work
 
Navy Field
Its free unless you want to pay for faster exp gain and such, but totally fun and soaks up more game time then anything else on my PC.
 
This free X-Com clone game is still a WIP but it is quite good even in it's current state. The tactical combat is already better than the original X-Com but it still needs destructable terrain.
