Free Games from Rockstar 
There's only one thing better than a good game, and that is a good game for free. Currently Rockstar Games is giving away free downloads of two of it's classic games: Wild Metal and Grand Theft Auto. And let me just say, the original GTA is awesome, not quite as graphically sophisticated as the newer ones, but who needs graphics when you can steal, speed, shoot, and crash colored blocks into other colored blocks. The only drawback is that you have to give them some information and you better make sure you use a valid E-mail address because they mail you a temporary link to the download, which has to be accessed from the same computer you signed up for the download from (Extremely lame). But as far as the other information goes, I recommend using "742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield, Oregon" or "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC 20500" The other major downer is that the file is a mammoth 350mb, which means there ain't no hope of downloading it over dial-up. But, for those of you with the desire and the drive, I highly recommend you get some free games. I also hear that the following games are available for free, but I haven't played any of them or even looked into it yet: Ground Control; The Elder Scrolls: Arena; Starsiege: Tribes and Tribes 2; RTCW: Enemy Territory (courtesy of MetaFilter)
