Blood Frontier: The Latest Open-Source FPS

,----[ Quote ]
| Cube was early on one of the first open-source first-person shooter games 
| designed around its own engine. The 3D graphics for Cube were not the best, 
| but development of this game had been going on since 2001. Based upon the 
| Cube engine was then the Sauerbraten game that was also referred to as "Cube 
| 2" with its engine being redesigned. Now though another game is emerging and 
| its engine is derived from Sauerbraten. This game is called Blood Frontier 
| and in this article we have a few screenshots of this game, which is working 
| its way towards a stable release for the open-source community.

The next challenge for Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| This is not another lament about Joe Sixpack being too stupid to understand 
| Linux. The problem is not that Linux is too complicated, its that Linux and 
| Windows do things differently. Imagine someone who was raised on Linux; how 
| would they react to Windows? Software installation would seem complicated and 
| geeky, the single desktop would feel claustrophobic, and as for the idea of  
| paying for software...

Linux games - Lots of great choices

,----[ Quote ]
| As you can see, the Linux user has a plenty of choice when it comes to
| enjoying computer games. Compared to the Windows arsenal, the selection is
| still somewhat thin, but it's getting fatter (and better).
|
| I hope my review has opened your eyes, even if just a little. Oh, it is far
| from being all-inclusive. There are many other games and game types that I
| have no talked about, probably quite a few games that I have never heard of
| even. Then, there are other methods of obtaining games for Linux - like WINE,
| for example.
|
| We will talk about WINE separately. Likewise, we'll focus on several more
| good titles in the next article. As you may have noticed in one of the
| screenshots above, I've selected Freeciv for download, but have not reviewed
| it here. Freeciv and a few other names will have to wait for the sequel.

Play Linux Games From A Live DVD

,----[ Quote ]
| When it comes to gaming in Linux, one of the most frequently faced problems
| is the sourcing of the game code then compiling and installing them on your
| machine. While some games provide easy ways to install them or are found in
| the distro’s software repository, there are plenty of games that come in pure
| binary source code and require you to compile, make and install, all of which
| are like a nightmare to many Linux newbies.

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.

Open Source Gaming Review: Linux Gamers Live DVD 0.9.2

,----[ Quote ]
| Overall I like this live dvd of popular free Linux games and I wish the
| absolute best to the developers of the Linux-Gamers.net Live DVD and I want
| to encourage them to continue their work. It?s very, very much appreciated.
| While it?s still got some growing to do, and some bugs to iron out, it really
| has been a very enjoyable distribution to experiment with. I especially like
| the idea that I can take it with me anywhere I go and play some of my
| favorite Linux games, even if the system I?m playing it on doesn?t have
| Linux.
