Free/Open-source First-person Shooter Games
,----[ Quote ]
| A first-person shooter (Commonly called FPS) is an action video game that
| involves "an avatar, one or more ranged weapons, and a varying number of
| enemies". FPSs render the game world from the visual perspective of the
| player character. FPS was one of the first genres to use key technologies
| such as 3D graphics, online play, and modding. Enhanced realism combined with
| graphic violence has also made FPS a common topic in ongoing controversies
| over video games.

Windows games can run on Linux too, as proven below. Gaming is not a serious
barrier to adoption.

MIB Live Games
,----[ Quote ]
| MIB Live Games is a treasure trove for Linux gamers; at last count over 100
| games, 48 in arcade alone. As it is based on Mandriva 2008, the setup (and
| possible installation) are a breeze; to say that everything is included out
| of the box on this remaster of Mandriva 2008 ‘One’ would be an understatement
| indeed.
|
| [...]
|
| For those in Asia, using the original Mandriva 2008 ‘One’ Asia edition is
| preferable as this remaster only offers major European languages at the
| starting configuration screen, though again they are not that difficult to
| add once the system is installed.
