Here's a very nice free game I recently finished: Battle for Wesnoth. It's a tactical wargame like Panzer/Fantasy General which borrows a few 'story' elements from the classic Warsong (if you don't know that one, Death or Glory probably rings a bell?). Unlike most free games 'projects', this one has already matured enough to be fully playable. In fact, the 'official' campaign has been finalized with the recent version 0.8.4. If you don't mind silly fantasy stereotypes too much, check it out!

Anything you can recommend?

I'm not sure but I'm sure there is nothing that you can't do with the downloadable version. Hehe, you won't know until you try :D

Ok I tried Battle for Wesnoth. Apart from the good shiny west vs evil dirty east cliche and sub message, the game is nice, unit summoning reminded me of celtic legends.

The game looks good, but why do they have to take this boring fantasy theme? :pain:

And why do they have to use Japanese-styled character drawings? :pain: Nothing can be perfect it seems...
