As requested, here is the list of freeware PC games. None of these games have malware/spyware, nor will any of them otherwise screw with your computer.
1) Hero Core - http://www.remar.se/daniel/herocore.php
I finished this game last night in an hour and 23 minutes, but I didn't get everything in it. I would estimate that it should take 2 hours to get 100%. Despite the Atari graphics, this is an incredible Metroidvania game that sort of also plays like a space shooter. There's no blood, and no language. Totally worth downloading. Walkthrough unnecessary.
2) The Journey Down: Over the Edge - http://www.bigbluecup.com
/yabb/index.php?topic=41648.0
This game is rather short, and it must be played full-screen at a 320x200 resolution, because it's much too small to be played in a window. Despite that, the animation is beautiful, and the puzzles are decent, but it's otherwise no different from any other point-and-click game. It's still worth playing, though. Walkthrough required. Takes about 2 hours to complete.
3) The Yahtzee Quadrilogy - http://jayisgames.com/archives/2007/12/the_chzo_mythos.php
You know the stuck-up Australian dude who talks too fast when he reviews games on The Escapist? This is that guy. These are the very best freeware games I've ever played. WARNING: Intense pixellated violence.
The order is:
5 Days a Skeptic
7 Days a Stranger
Trilby's Notes
6 Days a Sacrifice
Each takes about an hour or 2 to complete. Also, a walkthrough is required.
4) The McCarthy Chronicles: Episode 1 - http://www.bigbluecup.com/games.php?action=detail&id=1243
This is second only to Yahtzee's work. It's absolutely amazing. There is even voice acting, and its surprisingly good! WARNING: Instense violence. Walkthrough required. This one takes maybe 2-3 hours to complete, if I remember correctly.
5) A Second Face - http://www.bigbluecup.com/games.php?action=detail&id=1115
This is a bizarre story of an archaic totalitarian regime. I kind of forget the point of it, but I remember it being really, really good. The voice acting is a little off though, so bear with it. It's also a bit longer than the previous games I've listed, maybe about 4-6 hours. WARNING: Nudity/sex. Walkthrough required.
6) The Marionette - http://themarionette.game-host.org/downloads.php
Unfortunately, I forget a lot about this game, but I remember enjoying it a lot. WARNING: Violence, disturbing themes. It should take about 2 hours to complete. Walkthrough required.
7) Cave Story - http://www.miraigamer.net/cavestory/
This game was released recently on the Wii, and so I played it on the computer for free. It's a Metroidvania game that can be intensely frustrating under its cutesy exterior. Every time you get hit, your weapon power gets reduced, and this can really SSSUUUCCCCCCKKKKKK. WARNING: Intensely frustrating. Accounting for the number of times you will die, I would estimate completion time at about 10 hours. Walkthrough recommended.
8) Ever Eternal Winter World 1 & 2 - http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?topic=3737.0
I haven't finished either of these yet, so I can't say how long it should take you to finish them. They are much like Cave Story/Hero Core.

There are many games I've downloaded but haven't started yet, and a few that I wouldn't really care to pass on. These should get you guys started though :D
