Top 10 best open source games
,----[ Quote ]
| 1.) Tremulous – This is hugely popular open source title, being downloaded
| millions of times since its inception in 2006. Tremulous is a team-based
| first-person shooter with real-time strategy elements as well. The game is
| very similar to Quake II and III, and was actually born out of the commercial
| modification of Quake III Arena. The game-play is inspired the Quake II
| modification known as “Gloom.” If you’re a fan of Quake, you’ll like
| Tremulous. There’s already a huge development community and support
| structure in place, and it’s available on all major platforms – FreeBSD,
| Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
|
| 2.) Netrek – This is another long-time favorite in the open source gaming
| genre. It’s an Internet-based game that can be played by up to 16 players.
| The game can actually be classed as a hybrid multi-directional shooter and
| real time strategy game. It combines “twitch” style
| action-game “dogfighting” with extensive team play and strategy. The game is
| loosely based on Star Trek Universe, in which each player controls a
| starship, and has been under development continually since 1986 when it was
| created a successor to Xtrek.

Making money with "free-to-play" games
,----[ Quote ]
| Free-to-play games are looking more and more like open source products as
| commercial entities behind the development and operations figure out ways in
| which to add value and monetize their user base.

Here’s to reaching the “Games for Linux” tipping point
,----[ Quote ]
| To get Games for Linux (no TM yet) we need to reach a tipping point, either
| on the side of Gamers which will convince the Publishers that there is a
| market, or on the side of Publishers which will allow enough gamers to try
| the OS out without much gaming withdrawal. Lets hope that the results for the
| WoG experiment will be another small push towards that point.
