In looks it might have a little in common with Quake but that's a stretch really. The creatures that you fight are fairly unique looking.
The one complaint that I might have is not enough ammo for my weapons. I have that complaint for every FPS I play though so it;s not a biggie.
The performance is amazing. With no tweeaking at all, I was running at about 60fps.
The game has multiplayer support but I haven't had the opportunity to try it out yet.
An added bonus is a work-in-progress RPG called Eisenstern. Eisenstern is a parallel project using the same game engine. I played it for a while and while it's still rough, it's kind of fun and mindless entertainment. I was able to kill the golem but not the dragon.
If you're into RPGs or First Person Shooters, you owe it to yourself to give Sauerbraten a chance.

Free 1st Person Shooters
OTS Software has released all of their games as freeware.
As a THANK YOU! to all our loyal fans, OTS Software has decided to make all of our retail and shareware games FREE! Over the next few weeks, we will be re-releasing all of these games as freeware.
Check out the OTS Games page. They have plenty of online and downloadable content.
None of these games are going to change your life. These are games you would normally find on the bargain rack at Best Buy or Circuit City. There's also not a lot of replay value here, at least not for me. However, they are neat little games. And there are plenty of them.
In this list of games you can fight dragons, undead, aliens, mad cows and even lawyers! How cool is that. There are a few games for the kids also.

400 Free Dos Games
DOSGames.com lists classic DOS games available for download. Not all of these are truly free. There are a bunch of freeware games but there is also a lot of shareware and demo files.
Still, it's a good resource to keep on hand. I've played many of the games on this site and I occasionally go back to replay some of the "nostalgia" games.
If you have questions about licenses or how to play a specific games, be sure to check out the dosgames faq.
Free Gaming Magazines
GamerZines offers free EZines for gamers. The EZines are professional quality and are available for download in PDF format. You can download individual issues from the site or you can sign up for a free subscription.
This is a very professionally down set of EZines. I was surprised how good they are when I first downloaded one. Imagine PC Gamer in PDF format. That's pretty much what these look like.
The site is currently offering zines on Xbox 360, PS3, PC Games, and a Handheld Gamer zine.. A zine geared for MMOs will be released later this year.
Check it out!
Free Game - Urban Terror: 1st Person Shooter
Urban Terror is built using the quake 3 engine. Urban Terror calls itself, "Where Quake meets Reality." The graphics, as expected, are great. 
This is not JUST a mod. You do NOT need to own quake to play this game. The team has created the ioUrbanTerror engine which lets you play this game for free.
As the tag line, Where Quake meets Reality, might imply, this is a reality based game with completely new gameplay.
Check out videos before you decide to download.
