free games, for the cost o' download

  • Ground Control: apparently to promote Ground Control 2, the first game is being given away, gratis. This won the Adrenaline Vault Seal of Excellence. (PC)

  • Underworld: Movie-licensed, multiplayer shooter. (PC)
  • Sky Captain: Movie-licensed, somewhat rail-y flying shooter. (PC and Mac)
Update: Anandtech forum has this list of free games as well. (via Joystiq)

You can release that white-knuckled grip you have on the edge of your desk.” I tried to relax. “What do you want to talk about?” I said. “The Century War,” said the Time Traveler. I blinked and tried to remember some history. “You mean the Hundred Year War? Fifteenth Century? Fourteenth? Sometime around there. Between . . . France and England? Henry V? Kenneth Branagh? Or was it . . .” “I mean the Century War with Islam,” interrupted the Time Traveler. “Your future. Everyone’s.” He was no longer smiling. Without asking, or offering to pour me any, he
