blufiveAs a promotional tie-in with the release of Ground Control II, the original Ground Control has been made available for free download[1] - once you get through the soul-sucking FilePlanet registration, anyhow (which I suspect will end up with you being spammed).
It's a 3D RTS game (more Real-Time Tactics, actually, since there's no base-building angle at all) and I'll recommend it wholeheartedly, but with the warning: don't go in all guns blazing, 'cos you will get slaughtered. Careful reconnaissance and caution are the order of the day here.
And don't bother with the Dark Conspiracy mission pack, unless you like game scenarios constructed around the player being on the receiving end of repeated, unavoidable, ambushes by superior forces.
[1]Just bear in mind it's going to be a monster download - I can't find a solid number anywhere, but someone mentioned 400MB, which sounds plausible.
