For me :
( Green = Ut2K4 mod, Red = HL2 mod, Blue =UT2k7 Mod)
- Nosferatu (free standalone)
Description : pits vampires against slayers in a dark, Gothic setting.
Why it's good
-It's free
-Features an wide variety of weapons.
-It's graphics are the best of both worlds : they're good, but not exactly next gen, so you won't have a problem running it.
-It's got dual wielding.
-Two very distinct sides to play as.
-RPG system with improvable skills.
-Excellent production values.
-Weapon attachments.
-Flexible bullet penetrations system.

In general, I'de have to say that Nosferatu looks to out-do many commercial games.
=============================================
- Supreme Commander
Description: This game is the spiritual successor to Total Annihilation, a game widely regarded as the best RTS of all time. It walks in TAs footsteps, adding many innovations, such as enormous maps. It also appears to have done many other aspects very well (such as interface) which is saying something these days.
Why it's good
-Huge maps.
-3 distinct races.
-Hundreds of units and structures.
-Colossal units (which can even carry other units!)
-newtonian physics model calculates the trajectory of projectiles as they move through the air, taking into account the whole game world. In other words, none of that instant hit stuff in games like Star craft.
-Three unique factions with unique and diversified technologies.
-Large scale combat on the greatest scale to date.
-Two resources: mass and energy.
-Avoids the trends of games that are based on hotkey navigation and mouse click contest, macrobuilding, map-resource war, land grab, etc. It’s a game that requires the player to employ actual strategy to win.
-Zoom is not limited to being on top of your units instead you can zoom out to satellite view to employ strategic commands on the battlefield.
-Huge maps that can span four square kilometers of rendered space.
-Multi-click orders - when issuing an attack order, your units respond differently based on the frequency of clicks. Example: (one click) - attack unilaterally, (two clicks) - "all available units attack a single structure but only fire enough to destroy it", (three clicks) - Everyone destroy it immediately!
-Many interesting units, like a mobile shield generator (think Episode 1 gungan battle scene ;  )
-Buildings can be linked together for increased production.
-Each Dot in satellite view = 1 formation. Formations can range from small, to massive scale. (i.e. 5, 50, 500+)

Supreme Commander will probably eclipse it's predecessor, replacing it as the best RTS of all time.

==============================================
- STALKER
Description: STALKER takes place in an alternate post apocalyptic version of the Chernobyl disaster. You go throughout the land in search of the secret.
Think the premise sounds a bit dry? Yeah well, so did I until I saw the videos...
[u]Why it's Good
-Enormous arsenal of 40 weapons, each a secondary firing mode.
-The ability to upgrade your weapons and equipment, via trading with other characters in the world. Sounds neat, huh?
-Completely open 50 KM^2 environment.
-Non scripted AI yields a different game play experience.
-Your actions influence the persistent game world.
-Absolute freedom of movement, with no loading times whatsoever.
-Dynamic day and night system as well as weather, each of which impacts gameplay.
-Excellent graphics, courtesy of an impressiveDX9 renderer.
STALKER looks to be the best FPS of 2006 hands down. Need more proof, check out the official site. - Xperiment (free standalone)
