I can honestly say, America's Army is one of the most fun FPS games I've played on the PC. It's all multiplayer, but it's not Counterstrike like, it's VERY team/squad oriented and takes a fair amount of strategy and not just twitch.
Plus it's 100% free.

Have they updated it recently? That game has been around for like 10 years now!

I've also been on an old game kick lately. We just finished up Paper Mario 1 on the VC and now we're working on Orkana of Time and Mario 64. I may download Link to the Past in the near future too.
Home of the Underdogs also has some old but playable games for free download. I've been playing Dungeon Keeper 1 and X-Com when I have a spare moment or two.

OK, Orange Box it is. I still need Episode 2 and Team Fortress 2 does look good! From the Wii and GC list, I have all of those games except 3! Ha ha. Lost Winds for $10 will be a purchase soon as well. Okami, maybe. no more heroes...not sold yet! Thanks everyone!

Portal is also very, very good.

For anybody who has not played Half Life 2 yet, be forewarned that it was a great game in 2004, but in 2008 it's really just an OK game. I tried to play through it again in the lead up to Episode 2, but I found that at 24 hours, the single player campaign was an uneven experience from a pacing standpoint. There are moments of brilliance to be found, but one must slog through VERY long vehicle sequences and a couple tedious corridor crawls to get to them.
Episode 1 is more streamlined with better pacing, but takes place almost exclusively in dark dank corridors in and under City 17.
Episode 2, in contrast, might be the single finest single player campaign of a PC first person shooter to date. If you've already finished HL2 and Ep 1, get ready for an amazing experience.
I only give this warning because I have friends who purchased the Orange Box but got bogged down in the original game and never made it as far as Ep 2. For all that's good and holy, please skip directly to Episode 2 if anybody feels this happening to them. Granted you'll miss some story elements, but being able to experience the game play of Episode 2 is worth that small price.
Sorry, that was a bit longer than intended and probably unnecessary.

I was about 5 when the NES hit the States; that's about as far back as I go.

Ack, probably should have been more specific. I was thinking of the notion that Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time are old. Then again, Mario 64 was 1996, so I guess that counts at this point. Man, time flies.

TOTALLY hooked...although at a truly frustrating point where I'm shepherding my sandlions in an attack on a base and have to fight TWO gunships at once with very little cover. Have died about 92 times now.
