Destructoid:
For as long as I've been playing games, I've never felt fully comfortable with first-person shooters. Third-person? Sure, I'm good. But there's just something about the genre that I haven't been able to keep up with, and it's now to the point where I feel somewhat overwhelmed with the latest titles. I was fine back in the Doom and Unreal Tournament days. Maybe I'm just getting old.
One Angry Gamer "Now here’s a bit of news you probably didn’t see coming: Nadeo has announced that you can gain free access to their ManiaPlanet games right now, no strings attached. You download the free demo and for 48 hours straight you can play the ManiaPlanet titles for free."
Shootmania Platform, developed by Nadeo, will be free in its current beta form for the whole summer.
The Trackmania games rarely go on sale, so getting any and/or all of them is a recommendation.
