What Are The Best Free Games Online?

almostdead writes "CNET has just put up a story about what it thinks are the best online flash games of all time. These include titles like Line Rider, Bejeweled, Desktop Tower Defense and Portal, all of which I enjoy playing a lot. But my thirst for free games is peaking at the moment, probably due to an incredibly boring job and lack of imagination. Can you suggest any more good free games online?" Two words: Puzzle Pirates.

Dwarf Fortress has been a decent time waster for offline play (great for airplane rides as it turns out).

For an online flash game I can't believe they left out Gold Miner, one of my favorite turn-brain-off-and-play flash games of all time. Great for those long corporate meetings...shhhhh. :)

I've been playing a fair bit of OpenArena:

Open sourced Quake III code with new models and textures and whatnot.

Battle for Wesnoth is a good networked turn-based strategy game, my girlfriend likes it too.

Zombies is a fun single player game that's open source (Windows and Mac only):

For anyone who liked Tron, there's a maddeningly difficult game called Armagetron Advanced that lets you race the bikes:

There's a good list of open source games for windows here:

And a big list of general open source games over on wikipedia:

They're not Flash games, but they're Free.
