How could they have missed Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory? It doesn't get much freer than giving it away, and it runs on a P3? It's been around since 2003 and there are still hundreds of servers out there. It sucks being old.

Yeah but it's Sim City Nigel, not an FPS.
I'm sure there's plenty of free chess games out there too. ;-)
