Linux Got Game: Tremulous

,----[ Quote ]
| I had a lot of free time last weekend so I had 
| a chance to annihilate stuff by playing 
| another first person shooter game on my Linux 
| box. The game is called Tremulous and it's not 
| a typical FPS since it incorporates elements 
| of real-time strategy that makes it even more 
| fun and challenging.

| gaming console will be available for sale November 18.

| There have been dedicated gaming consoles that are able to run Linux, namely
| the PS3. In these cases, Linux made the console function more as a home
| computer than a gaming rig. The EVO system uses Linux to power the games.
