Here's a random sample of a document made for some lan party newbies:
Savage - Newerth
Free game that is partially a first person shooter and partially a real time strategy game.
We'll be running the XR mod for Savage, which adds extra features and fixes. Note: If you have difficulties in getting
the game to run (e.g. it crashes after you connect to a server), try turning down the graphics settings. This is a known
issue.

Tremulus
Free game. Looks like it's an FPS game but with certain elements of strategy. Has two different teams - aliens and
humans. Aliens can move in interesting ways (e.g. climb walls/ceilings) and humans can rock it up in some other way.

Urban Terror
Another free game. This is a first person shooter with slightly more realism than the other games we play. It's set in
the modern day and you could certainly compare it to Counter Strike, only this is much better.

Soldat
Retro side-scrolling shooter. Amiga-age graphics. You control a small guy with a jetpack and gun. Jet around and shoot
each other. Pretty simple really
