Default Best free 3D games?

Hey everyone,

I REALLY did my homework and search the forum thoroughly, so please don't flame me.
Anyway, what are some freeware 3D games that LOOKS GOOD? Perhaps something that will actually utilize the full potential of 8600GT. Any kind of game is fine. I know that I might be asking for the impossible since game development is a pretty costly process. I guess cheap games will do as well.

Thanks!

I will keep a list of the games suggested so far for others who are interested as well (most should be vista compatible):
War rock
FEAR combat
Wolfenstein : Enemy Territory
Trackmania Nations
War§ow
Silkroad Online
Cube & Sauerbraten
America's Army
Command And Conquer Gold Edition
Tom Clancy Ghost Recon DEAD! Anyone know a working link?
Far Cry
Prince Of Persia Sands Of Time
Rayman Raving Rabids
BMW M3 Challenge

It seems that ads in Far Cry, Of Persia Sands of Time, etc. can be eliminated by running FRAPS.

Wolfenstein : Enemy Territory is pretty decent multiplayer game.

Wow, I give the deepest regrets for every good game that you are missing because of your parents.
