Basically you run around levels shooting these weird spider creatures, who if left unguarded, will start nibbling on you and slowly diminish your life away.
Interesting Musical Creations
According to Wikipedia, "The game music and sounds are produced by a multifunctional synthesizer called V2, which is fed a continuous stream of Midi data. The synthesizer then produces the music in real time." Sort of an interesting way to save on file space.

I've been covering many first person shooters lately on ClickforNick's Free Software Blog, mainly, because these free first person shooters. Let's take a look at Warsow.
Warsow, a cartoony Shooter
Warsow uses the Quake 2 engine, yet redesigned the graphics to give them a cartoony feel. Have you seen the movie a Scanner Darkly? Both this game at the movie has a similar feel.
According to Warsow:
"Warsow is developped under the motto "by gamers for gamers" by a team coming from all kinds of gaming backgrounds. To attain the "by gamers for gamers" spirit, the community are our betatesters, both through internal testing sessions (with community members) and in the feedback on the public releases."

Sauerbraten, free First Person Shooter, Assassin Edition

Sauerbraten, the name threw me off at first since in Germany it is a roast meat. Online its a first person multi-player shooter. Just one week ago they've release the latest version of Sauerbrater called the Assassin Edition.
Eye Candy?
From the screen shots, Sauerbraten is no roast meat, rather a very well designed game with some of the best graphics I've seen for free first person shooters. With games this good looking, why should anyone need to pay for shooting people online? Why not take out that aggression for free? If you've played Cube, the predecessor, then it is time to make an upgrade and start playing Sauerbraten.

Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, Free Multiple Online Shooter

Originally Wolfenstein Enemy Territory was meant as a full first person shooter and multi-player game, but ID, the game creators, ran into problems and decided that it would be better just to release the game as free multi-player online shooter.
Online Game Play
You fight as the Axis or Allies to either complete or stop mission objectives. Tough we already know the real outcome of the war, you can change some history in the game. Actually most of the events in this game never really happened. There are not only official maps available, but also since its release, plenty of unofficial maps have been created by the internet community.
Get Enemy Territory from Download.com

Just like the war, its an all out German American Battle. You fight with the backdrop of a European village with guns and knives. There have been additional expansions for including Russians and the Japanese if you feel like getting more countries involved in this multi player shootout.

America's Army, Open Source First Person Shooter

The U.S. Government developed their own first person shooter? America's Army was developed as a way to help with U.S. Army recruitment. Is this a good way to get people to join the army, through video games? It's online game play has actually been rated in the top ten of online multi-player games.
Want to be in the Army, but not join?
That is the furthest I'd recommend taking a game like this. Though the video game looks great, can you really believe that real life is just like the game? That is for you to decide. In any case, get the video game version of the U.S. Military with America's Army.

AssaultCube takes multi player fun and combines it with large weapons and remote locations to bring players together to shoot each other. Sounds like most first person shooter games right? With AssaultCube (formerly known as ActionCube) a small package delivers a lot of fun. In its small 19mb file size, you get plenty of multi player fun.
AssaultCube, team based gameplay
You won't find one player missions with AssaultCube, only level maps and online game play. In order for this game to be any fun, you have to play online, otherwise you'll be running around shooting the walls.

This game network is being presented by both the history channel and Kuma Games. This game is not only a multiplayer shootout, but also a TV series.
Kill Point, the Show
"In the tv show, two men go head-to-head when a bank robbery goes terribly wrong and starts a hostage situation in this Spike TV 8-hour television event. The acclaimed actors John Leguizamo and Donnie Walhberg bring all the tension and gripping drama to the small screen." -TV.com
Kill Point, the Game
The game lets us replay scenes from the tv show. Its the cops versus the bad guys. In this game you are basically getting a recycled half life 2 game, but its online and its free. You will get some annoying ads, telling you to watch the episode of the game you are playing. If you can deal with that you'll enjoy The Kill Point Game.

Player advancement is different depending on which team you are on. As a human, players are rewarded with credits for each alien kill. These credits may be used to purchase new weapons and upgrades from the "Armoury". The alien team advances quite differently. Upon killing a human foe, the alien is able to evolve into a new class. The more kills gained the more powerful the classes available.
The overall objective behind Tremulous is to eliminate the opposing team. This is achieved by not only killing the opposing players but also removing their ability to respawn by destroying their spawn structures." -tremulous.net

Urban Terror could best be described as a Hollywood tactical shooter; it is realism based to a certain extent (environments/weapons/player models), but also goes by the motto "fun over realism" (fast gameplay and lots of action). This combination of reality and action results in a very unique, enjoyable and addictive game.
No longer requires Quake 3 Engine
Previously in order to play Urban Terror, you needed to own Quake 3. With Quake 3 open source, Urban Terror is completely free online. This brings memories of counter strike, the mod for Half Life. Is this game fun? Definately.
