What sort of games?
There are hundreds of free games out there, but many parents may not approve of them.
Abandonia has a good lot, Link Here, and so does Abandonia Reloaded, Link Here. However, many of these games are very old, and you may need to download DOSbox or another DOS emulator, as XP/Vista doesn't seem to run DOS games like they should be able to, but choose not to. :(

Hrm. A few shooters come to mind, but, again, most of the games I play are either very old (ie - DOS games, NES games, etc.) or, when it comes to the internet, MUDs (Achaea, Aetolia, and the like)

Fantasy is the celebration of what we no longer are: individuals certain of our meaningfulness in a meaningful world. The wish-fulfillment that distinguishes fantasy from other genres is not to be the all-conquering hero, but to live in a meaningful world. The fact that such worlds are enchanted worlds, worlds steeped in magic, simply demonstrates the severity of our contemporary crisis.

I think he meant what kind of games. Shooter games, word puzzle games, time management/strategy games, point & click games, etc. ?

Azada's not free, they have a 60 minute demo for free.

If you're new to sites like Big Fish Games, Reflexive Arcade or Play First, you can play 60 minute demos till your head falls off. Try downloading all 4 demos of the Ricochet series. That's 4 hours of headbanging fun right there.

The Federation of American Scientists (FAS) presents Immune Attack™, an educational video game that introduces basic concepts of human immunology to high school and entry-level college students. Designed as a supplemental learning tool, Immune Attack aims to excite students about the subject, while also illuminating general principles and detailed concepts of immunology.
