Solataire, Minesweeper, Backgammon, Pinball, Heats, etc.:P

FEAR Combat is free, if you haven't tried that. Check out the stickies in here about free games. Otherwise, you can just borrow money from you pals.

What kind of games do you like? If you like strategy games go for: World In Conflict, Sins of a Solar Empire, Company of Heroes (highly recommend). If you like shooters go for the Orange Box, Call of Duty 4, Battlefield 2, Crysis, F.E.A.R.

I like strategy but I hate micro management so WIC is a potential buy but I think I've played the demo too much ... is the full game any different?

And I loved Crysis so thats a must

Any more freeware games?

Try F.E.A.R. Combat. It's the free version of the F.E.A.R. multiplayer. I personally love it. WarRock and Soldier Front are two more freeware but they aren't great. They are ok/good. Also, try America's Army.

More demos. Multiplayer demos especially are good fun and last long, for e.g the BF and UT demos. The Witcher demo should be pretty long too I think, and sometimes racing demos are pretty good like Race07 Demo has even online. And some MMOs have relatively long trials you can try. Not to mention old games get a new coat of paint too with a new rig. And free games should be easy to find, try for e.g. BMW M3 Challenge, America's Army, Trackmania Nations, Cellfactor etc.

Thats debatable. I prefer Crysis graphics a little better, draw distance is crap in RL. Also as far as gameplay is concerned, Crysis wins hands down. When was the last time RL was patched anyways? Buggy as hell. Monthly fees are pretty damn expensive too

Nah the one that could keep you cold for a few years :P.

Well new games other than CoD4, TF2, ETQW, WiC, CoH, Supreme Commander, Witcher, Mass Effect, Grid, SoaSE aren't that good.

well since got a beast of a machine i don't think there are any good fps or stratgey games for free. But why don't you borrow some games from a friend or use there steam account but what i would do is check out an mmorpg that has free trail like lord of rings,gaycraft. lineage 2(best game) or get some demos. GRID(one of the best demos - it has online and the demo got patched :S amazing) , DMC 4, (devil may cry 4) lost planet colonies, company of heroes etc. Nice rig enjoy it:P

I say you get a Battlefield game, specifically 2142 if you haven't already played 2. Its very cheap and there is countless hours of gameplay here.
