Free FPS Games

There are many free or open source first person shooters out there and today I would like to talk about a few of them. One of my favorite free FPS games is a very low graphics and simple counter strike clone called assault cube. This game can be run on any rig, and it's only about 50 MB in size, but it can be a lot of fun. All of the source is available and open too, so you could modify it if you wanted to with relative ease. I also like a game called Saubrenten, it is built off of the cube 2 engine and is like asslault cube with much better graphics. It is a little more cartoony than assault cube but it is a good game if you like fast paced fps games like unreal tournament. If you like RTS games than I would recommend something like spring, which can change maps and games.

Teamspeak 3, If You Don't Have It You Should!

If you want to add a whole new level to your online gaming experience, you should go out, spend ten bucks on a microphone, and download and install teamspeak 3. Games are fun, but actually talking to and interacting with other players is much better. teamspeak 3 is a free program, and there are thousands of gaming clans all eagerly looking to add you to their ranks. I would urge anyone who is not already a member of a gaming clan to join one, as it makes you gaming experience so much easier. Just think about it, if you need help with the game or a pc issue, there are always admins who know what to do,(if your in a good clan), and you can play in squads with real players, to hone your skills and challenge yourself. teamspeak 3 is a voice server for clans, kind of like a big party line or three way call, only the number of people is virtually unlimited. You will have more fun, learn more, find easy help, tips and tricks, and meet loads of new people in the process. I know of so many players who don't get in teamspeak and just keep to themselves, I never understood this. These people are missing out on all of the fun, and aren't getting the full gaming experience in my opinion. Honestly if a clan didn't have teamspeak or at least vent, I would never even consider joining them. I belong to a clan that has a teamspeak server, game servers, and a bunch of really great members, these are all things to look for in your prospective clans. So go, get your mic, get the  teamspeak 3 client at http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=downloads and join someting today, you will be glad you did.

Side Note - I do not operate this clan, but I am a member and highly recommend them if you want a clan with less of a military structure that's laid back and all about having a laugh. http://www.wasp-clan.com, go in their teamspeak and say hello if you like nice people and good players.
