Stop Wine-ing: 15 Games for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Many believe that Wine and other Windows
| emulation solutions may be their only
| recourse for high-quality gaming enjoyment.
| That, however, it not entirely true. There
| are plenty of smaller, independent gaming
| houses developing and releasing premium
| commercial games for Linux alongside Mac
| and Windows offerings. Search hard enough
| and youâll find games ranging from low-
| resource puzzle solvers to 3D first-person
| shooters.
|
| Letâs have a look at some of the games
| recently released for Linux and a few up-
| and-coming prospects for the future. Stop
| Wine-ing. Start playing.

Is it Possible to Play Games When Running Linux?
,----[ Quote ]
| Any game that is based on the browser alone
| will work fine in Linux. For browser based
| games like Farmville, these will all work
| in browsers as long as there are the Flash
| and Java plugins. These work the same in
| Linux as on any other operating system.
|
| The second type of gaming is open source
| games. There are quite a few free games
| that are made for Linux as well as other
| operating systems. Since these are open
| source, itâs easy for programmers to port
| various versions of the game for the
| different operating system choices that
| exist.

Nexuiz Gets Forked, Turned Into Xonotic
,----[ Quote ]
| Xonotic is this new project that is a fork
| of Nexuiz and takes away some of the main
| developers within the Nexuiz community.
| Apparently they already have in excess of
| 30 core community members for this new
| project. This project aspires not only to
| take the GPL Nexuiz code and release it as
| a new game, but they are planning to
| provide new models and animations, new
| sounds and music, a makeover of many maps,
| higher quality content, and other
| organizational changes for the project.

Indie Gamers See The Linux Market
,----[ Quote ]
| It hasn't been that long ago that we
| brought you news of 2d boy World of Goo and
| the Frictional Games trilogy Penumbra.
| Since then, things have been pretty quiet
| on the Linux Game Front...at least to my
| ear, but then again, I'm not much of a
| gamer.
|
| Sure, I've played all the repository
| shooters...bloody chunks flying and
| monsters galore. I have a short attention
| span...mostly because I suck at shooter
| games. I just don't play them often.

Top 10 computer games of all time
,----[ Quote ]
| In actual fact there's a growing body of
| research that shows game playing can
| improve productivity by allowing the brain
| to concentrate on other things for a while.
| It makes sense to me, we have after all
| evolved playing games that have allowed us
| to try out new mental strategies.
|
| Originally we'd considered doing this last
| week to coincide with the Games Developer
| Conference in San Francisco. But we'd been
| planning the women in IT feature for weeks
| and that took precedence. However, with the
| game BAFTAS in the UK tonight we had an
| excuse to do the Top 10 list we've been
| mulling for a while now.

Iranian Game Developer Prepares to Launch Title
,----[ Quote ]
| While Iran has been making a concerted
| effort of late to beef up its presence in
| the international game market, developers
| located there still must oversome a series
| of obstacles to create videogames.
|
| The Washington Post takes a look at the PC
| game Garshasp, the Monster Slayer, which
| was created by a team of 20 Iranians
| operating as Fanafzar Game Studios. The
| game, an action-adventure title for the PC
| set in a world of mythological monsters,
| and steeped in Persian history, is
| scheduled for a global release soon, but
| the developers are choosing to delay a
| domestic release in Iran, saying that âthis
| is not the right time to promote our gameâ
| in their own country.

RTS Game 0 A.D. Needs You!
,----[ Quote ]
| As I explained when I covered 0 A.D. in the
| fall, Iâm excited about the project because
| it promises to set several important
| precedents. Besides bringing a high-
| quality, fully open-source RTS game to
| Linux usersâwho currently have to subsist
| mostly on half-baked, amateur games, if
| they play anything at allâthe 0 A.D.
| developers are helping to break new ground
| by building a professional-quality game on
| the open-source model (the developers of
| Glest and Battle for Wesnoth deserve
| similar credit in this regard, but theirs
| is a lonely world).

Unigine Heaven 2.0 Linux Performance
,----[ Quote ]
| Yesterday the 2.0 release of the Unigine
| Heaven tech demo was released for Microsoft
| Windows users. This Windows release was
| greeted finally by the OpenGL Linux release
| of this impressive demo too. While we had
| published benchmarks and screenshots of the
| Unigine Heaven Linux release, this was
| based off of an internal build that we had
| received from Unigine Corp back in December
| -- long before the 2.0 release came about
| with its optimizations, updated engine, and
| new artwork. Due to this, we have now
| published a new set of Unigine Heaven
| performance numbers for Linux from a
| selection of ATI and NVIDIA graphics cards
| along with many new screenshots.

Unigine's Heaven 2.0 Benchmark Introduces Linux Support
,----[ Quote ]
| Last November, game engine developer
| Unigine gave all Radeon HD 5000 users a fun
| tool to push their cards to the limit.
| Called "Heaven", the benchmark was the
| first on the market that both utilized
| DirectX 11 abilities and wasn't based
| around an actual game. Like Futuremark,
| Unigine builds its benchmarks with the
| mindset that what's exhibited will be seen
| in real games in the years ahead, assuring
| that it will remain a relevant benchmark
| for a little while.
