Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
I am homebound, give me games to play! (Freeware!)

My mom recently broke her leg so I'm basically unable to leave the house for any meaningful amount of time. Thus I have nothing to do when not helping her. Problem is, unlike a lot of people, I have no real gaming backlog to speak of AND I have no money. Thus I need some games to play! I like RPGs, shooters and horror games quite a bit. If anyone has a suggestion, please tell me, I appreciate it.
Try to avoid MMOs as my schedule doesn't allow me to sit down for long periods of time and thus I can't commit to helping other people as such.

I didn't see strategy, but I did see RPG, mebbe you'd like Battle for Wesnoth (SRPG)
It's an MMORPG bullet hell shooter. I would strongly downplay the mmorpg moniker because it takes all of 45 minutes to level to the max level and cooperative play is spontaneous, easy to find, and comes with no time commitment whatsoever.
Really enjoyable adventure/horror games made by Yahtzee, but don't hold that against them.

But so is everybody, so you're on an even playing field!
Before I try to give other recommendations: How important are good graphics to your playing experience? You say you don't have a lot of time to play; roughly how long do you see sitting down for a given session?

Not to break the "no MMO" rule, but if you're avoiding them because you can't commit the chunks of time required for teaming, it's worth noting that both City Of Heroes and Champions Online are currently F2P and both games are extremely friendly for solo play in small chunks.
One caveat is that City Of Heroes, at least, is really heavy on locking gameplay features behind "freemium" micro-transactions, but that might not bother you if you're not used to the full game.
It's a difficult game to 'recommend', but if you can get past the poor interface it's a pretty enjoyable experience.

Also, thought of hitting up Youtube for some Let's Play videos? They will keep you busy for a while.
