Linux Got Game: TORCS Review
,----[ Quote ]
| TORCS is a must try game for Linux users who want a quality racing simulator.
| It is fully-featured and it can be played after getting bored of watching too
| much Oprah. Seriously, TORCS is really enjoyable to play, and the controls
| using the keyboard are simple and easy to remember. I’m still playing the
| game in easy mode, so, it makes the game even more fun because I always win
| (hehe). Although, I’m thinking of getting a joystick to fully enjoy the game.
| All in all, TORCS is highly recommended. And, did I already say that it’s
| free?
|
| Here is my rating for TORCS:
|
| Sounds and Graphics: 7/10
| Gameplay: 7/10
| Total: 7/10

Linux Got Game: Alien Arena 2007 Review
,----[ Quote ]
| I find the game very addictive, although I’m a "below average" gamer. I
| always get smoked in single player game even in easy mode. Maybe they gave
| those bots too much AI (hehe). Anyway, I also tried multiplaying over the
| network and I got eaten alive.

Free Games for Linux

| A round-up of fun Linux diversions.
|
| When people talk about computer gaming these days, they
| invariably mean commercial games running on a Windows platform. Few
| people realize that Linux can be more than just a very good Web or
| file server. Even fewer people are aware of the many open-source or
| otherwise freely available games available for Linux.
