25 awesome Cross-platform games you can download for free - your picks!
I cut my list off at 25 games, which means some great ones weren't included. Since they started to appear in the comments, I've added a page for your choices. Thanks for pitching in!
FreeCol - Oh crap, I'm in trouble. As if I hadn't blown enough time over the years on the various Colonization/Civlization games. Explore new lands, build a nation, survive, and win! Thanks to wcroskeys for suggesting this one!
Neuiz / Tremulous / Urban Terror - I included Nexuiz and Tremulous on a previous post, but all three of these great FPS games are worth mentioning again. There you go, zezke!
OpenArena / Alien Arena - By now you've noticed that cross-platform, open source gaming and FPS go hand in hand. Two more great choices, and as posted by 404 it may just have the most polished visuals of any in the bunch. Thanks to him, and to Austen for OpenArena!
Scorched 3D - A remake of the classic turn-based artillery game. Challenge other players online and be sure to check out some of the interesting mods, like Christmas and Stone Age. Big ba-da-boom. Thanks, Randy!
Warzone 2100 - Thanks to, er, John Doe for offering Warzone - a 3D RTS set in the future with a massive number of technologies (over 400) and units (more than 2,000). Multiplayer mode supports up to eight players.
Want more RTS action? Check out the list of games built on the Spring Engine, which feature themes like Star Wars, Gundam, and WWII (Spring: 1944). Thanks, Waldo!

Scorched3D, the 3D remake of the popular DOS game Scorched Earth is one of my favorite open source games.

Don't forget Spring! http://springrts.com/
I guess technically its an engine, not a game. Here are some of the games that run on it:
Kernel Panic: http://www.moddb.com/games/kernel-panic
Spring 1944: http://www.moddb.com/games/spring-1944
Gundam RTS: www.moddb.com/games/gundam-rts

Oolite is also a good space strategy/shooter/trading game.

I'm addicted to Armagetron, it is an open source 3d Tron light cycle game. There are a lot of servers and a lot of different game types to play.

Now, I know it's not as flashy as the other listed games, but how about an awesome game with tremendous staying power: Nethack!

And it's been ported to more platforms than any other game listed here. ;]

I've been playing "Cave Story" recently, it's really very good.

Cave Story is quite awesome. It should be on this page even if the Mac and Linux ports are unofficial.

What, no love for Soldat?
Think Worms+Humans+Real Time.
Add a glorious multiplayer-mode.
Fun. :)
