Caster released for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| The indie developer Electron recently released Caster for Linux. Caster is a
| cross platform "3D" 3rd person shoot'em up game in which the character moves
| cross a map, hunts different types of monsters and collects energy items.
| Starting with one type of "weapon" the player collects five further weapons
| throughout the episodes. Skills like jumping or dodging and weaponry can be
| updated during the game depending on the score gained in the previous level.

| 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.

Valve questions Microsoft's commitment to PC gaming
,----[ Quote ]
| Half-Life 2 developer Valve thinks that Microsoft's current
| "Games for Windows" marketing push is a cynical ploy to sell
| more copies of Windows Vista, rather than a genuine effort to
| invigorate the PC gaming market.
