Halo Zero

Free, but still not even worth it. Fan made or not, these controls need a large amount of work. Couldn't even play it because the controls were so bad. Press left, start running left, press right, still running left... After about 5 minutes of trying to change my running direction, I realized the only place the Master Chief was going to was my recycle bin!

The graphics aren't great, but the characters are recognizable from the original Halo and it does have a nifty 2D mouse-aiming system, so it's kinda unfortunate that the other controls are so bad, at least on my PC (which is 'up to specs') Not even for free, thanks.
