Battlefield Heroes - 3rd person shooter, and probably the best free game I have ever played.
http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/ FlyFF - A decent free MMORPG, however to truly be good at the game you'll have to spend a little money. http://flyff.gpotato.com/?m=welcome Phantasy Star Online : BB - Probably the best Online RPG I have ever played. I'm a total Sega fanboy so you probably won't have the same experience I did. http://www.schtserv.com/ |

Quake Live- A realy cool, in browser multiplayer FPS. If you're into the classic Quake games, or FPS, try it out. It's really good, considering it's a free in browser game.
