control-keyFirst-person shooter (FPS) is one of the best types of video games, in my opinion. As the name implies, the game revolves around the first person perspective. These games are mostly weapon based and involves quick reflexes and, of course, a lot of shooting.

There are lots of great FPS games out there, but we wanted to let you in on a few that we have found that are good and totally free!

Sauerbraten

Sauerbraten is a free cross-platform First Person Shooter.  It is built as a major redesign of the Cube FPS game. The game has single player and multiplayer modes. Multiplayer functionality is possible with LAN, Local, and Internet play, which are available at its server listings from a master server. Single player mode features both episodic game play and also deathwatch with bots instead of human opponents over the Internet.

    Americas Army is also free, professionally done, and available through Steam. Quake Online is another decent free FPS, and runs in a browser through a plugin.

    I think a good one which im currently playin is Team Wolf, by Aeria games, you get to turn into a wolf at anytime.
    My only complain though is that the automatic weapons are much to accurate and can sometimes be used as sniper rifles with the proper upgrades… almost makes the normal sniper rifle obsolete.
