Now there are games that are totally free to download and to play and then there are those that are free to play online, but you still have to buy the game. Rumour has it that WOW might become free to play, but Guild Wars is currently free to play!
Games we have mentioned so far is:
(Click on the heading of each game to go to the website)
A Perfect World International
Here is a true free to play game with over 5 million people already playing. It is worth Checking out.
Lord Of The Rings Online
Finally this is game is free to play. I am a big fan of JRR Tolken and all his books and characters. LOTRO is an excellent online game and I love it to bits! I also enjoyed Lord Of The Rings Return Of The King emmensly. Prepare to loose yourself in a whole new world...It does have an online store, but there are a few hich-ups with it; since the Free to Play launch.(November 2010) This should be sorted out soon.
Click the heading of this game to see a video clip as well.
America's Army
Simply the most realistic, totally free online military combat simulation game I have ever played. From doing the various training courses to the actual in-game action. If you like tactical war games, this is a must try. The latest patch ironed out a lot of bugs.

Then there are the odd ones that I haven't tried or mentioned:
Rapplez
This is also a totally free online RPG game. It is a pretty decent game with a tutorial level and all, but I somehow miss the fun factor in the game. It is just my opinion; since thousands of people play this game, but after playing 9 Dragons; there is just no comparison for me.

Guild Wars
This game is finally free to play online, but you still have to purchase the game or the cd-key. It is not all that expensive and you can buy the trilogy for less than a normal game's purchase price. It is roughly R380 South African Rand or 34 Euros.
For those that haven't played the game yet: You start off with a hand full of professions such as: Warrior, Ranger, Monk, Necromancer and Elementralist. With the expansions, there are a few more. Later in the game, you will be required to choose a second profession. It is a fun game with all the features of a online adventure game, but it does lack a few things: When in a party the members that joined the leader can not see where to go to for the quest and they just have to follow the leader blindly. Hobbies and crafting is not present, but in the end; that is not what this game is about. There are arena's where you can duel it out against other players and then there are the guilds: Guilds can battle it out against one another for points to become the best guild in Guild Wars. Now you know where the game got its name from. I love PVP play and therefore this game is a definite thumbs up for me.
Dark Orbit
This is a free to play space shooter game. There is no download; since it is a Browser game. This is for sure the best browser based game I've ever saw. You earn credits by collecting crystals(if memory serves me correct) and you can buy new ships, upgrade weopons and equipment. I haven't played this game in ages and therefore I won't elaborate further. All I know: This game will surprize you.

Dungeons and Dragons Online
This game recently became a totally free to play game and outweighs any free/semi-free online game that I have ever played. If you like D&D, you will love this game. Features I like: It is build on the D&D ruleset, it supports DirectX 10 graphics, it has build in VOIP capability and therefore you won't need something like TeamSpeak, pretty exiting quests with loads of online players to share quests with or just to socialize with, you can actually block and dodge(good combat system)and you can join guilds. I have only played up to level 3 as of this date, but haven't noticed any bugs yet.
