Alien Arena on netbook

,----[ Quote ]
| Alien Arena is a free, stand-alone 
| deathmatch game based on source code 
| released by id Software (specifically 
| Quake 2). Begun by COR Entertainment in 
| 2004, the game combines a 1950s-era sci-fi 
| atmosphere with gameplay similar to the 
| Quake, Doom, and Unreal Tournament series. 
| Alien Arena focuses mainly on online 
| multiplayer action, although it does 
| contain single-player campaigns against 
| bots.

Dolphin, the Wii and GameCube emulator, has its first post-open source release. Itâs really good.

,----[ Quote ]
| Around two years ago, Dolphin, the 
| GameCube and Wii emulator for Windows, Mac 

| OS X and Linux, went open source. Today 
| marks the first official release since 
| that magical day. And let me tell you 
| something: Dolphin works really, really 
| well. Give it a shot when you have a 
| chance.

Linux Gaming With Sabayon Gaming Edition DVD

,----[ Quote ]
| One of the most common complaints I hear about
| Linux is that itâs just no good for gaming.
| Some complain about hardware support, others
| the lack of titles, others that itâs just too
| complicated. Itâs true that Linux probably
| isnât the first platform that comes to mind
| when I think about PC gaming, but some parts
| of that reputation are inaccurate or outdated.
| Sabayon Gaming DVD takes on that myth to see
| just what a Linux gaming system can do. Itâs
| got a fast Gentoo base, built-in codecs and 3D
| driver support, Compiz, and many of the best
| games available for Linux. On top of the usual
| Gnome games, you get such titles as Neverball,
| Battle for Wesnoth, OpenArena, Tremulous,
| Warsow, Nexuiz, and Warzone 2100, all playable
| from the live DVD.
