".rar" files are a compressed archive file. You can open these files with WinRAR or WinZip. WinRAR is free, but it may be a bit more complex to use than WinZip (my preference) , which has a 45 day trial before you need to pay $29.95 to own the product.

You can download a free version of winrar here: http://bit.ly/1sMdIqr
Winrar is a very good program to unzip files and to decompress a bunch of other formats. You can use also 7zip or winzip for the same purpose but I believe that winrar is the best option. All these programs are very similar (you can compress/decompress files with a simple right click).
The great things is that winrar is free (you can download the trial version that never expires) and it can open all compressed formats: .zip, .rar, .7z / 7zip, .iso, .tar, .jar etc. (much more than the other programs).
That's why I strongly recommend Winrar

Winrar is not freeware, you can download 7-zip from http://www.7-zip.org/ it is open source and is free as in beer. It can only extract rar and can not create rar files (if that is what you would need later, you can use winrar) 7-zip is one program to open multiple type of archives.
Have fun and post your results.

Use "winrar" to extract the files. rar files are a type of compressed file. You can download winrar at download.com.
After extracting you should be able to play it on Windows Media Player or RealPlayer.

Yes you do, if you are downloading games for your mobile. It's like a WinZip extractor. The link below is for WinRar, but there are others
