Prey Linux Retail Client Released
,----[ Quote ]
| Back in October Ryan Gordon surprised the Linux community by releasing a
| Linux game demo of Prey two-years after the game began shipping on Windows.
| He was contracted to port the Prey server to Linux but this was the first
| time we were seeing any client. A month later an updated Prey demo for Linux
| was released. This afternoon Ryan has now released the binaries that allow
| the retail game to be used on Linux.

| There is also always the opportunity to run a virtual machine to run your
| windows programs (that will be the topic of my next post). So, next time
| someone says to you that they don’t want to switch to Linux because they
| won’t be able to play games, you might want to correct them.

Open Source Shoot-Em-Up
,----[ Quote ]
| But lately, I’m also starting to see the appeal of doing without a hyped-up
| platform like Unreal Tournament 2004 or Battlefield 1942. Fracturing the mod
| community has sparked creativity, particularly when it comes to open-source
| games based on free engines. A lot of out-there projects are getting major
| traction with gamers—big attention that wouldn’t happen if everyone was still
| fixated on grinding out Onslaught maps or tweaking Desert Combat.

| Half-Life 2 developer Valve thinks that Microsoft's current
