24 Extra Hot Free Linux Games (Part 2 of 3)

,----[ Quote ]
| A proverb that often springs to mind during 
| the day is that all work and no play makes 
| Jack a dull boy. Breaking up the monotony 
| of the daily grind (also known as work) 
| cannot be underestimated. Computer games 
| are a great form of entertainment, less 
| passive that watching the TV, just as 
| challenging as completing the Times 
| crossword, but much more fun.

TripleA

,----[ Quote ]
| TripleA is a free turn-based strategy board 
| game and board game, which includes single 
| player, local (hot-seat, an underrated play 
| option IMO) and networked multiplayer.
| 
|     Recreate World War 2 with the Axis 
|     pushing through to Moscow and Japan 
|     devouring the Pacific, or recreate 
|     Napoleonâs march across Europe, or Rome 
|     defeating the Carthaginian Empire, or 
|     even Sauron conquering Middle Earth, or 
|     Zombies taking over America! If you 
|     have ever played a game where you push 
|     little plastic or virtual pieces 
|     around, roll dice, conquer the lands of 
|     your enemy, and produce new pieces to 
|     conquer with, Then you will be able to 
|     jump right into TripleA!

Some WINE with your Starcraft 2? 

,----[ Quote ]
| I have been happily playing Starcraft 2 
| under Ubuntu 10.04 for the last three days 
| now. All I have to say is that it is a true 
| testament to how much progress the WINE 
| project has made in recent years when it 
| can be counted upon to run a new title that 
| hasn't even been fully released yet! 
| Performance under WINE is not perfect, but 
| on lower settings it is more than playable 
| (which is what really counts). There seems 
| to be a processor bottle neck on higher 
| detail settings (also present in L4D2 under 
| WINE actually) that hinders performance.

ow-to Become a Linux Gamer

,----[ Quote ]
| The distro includes 34 of the most popular,
| fun, free and open source games that run
| natively in Linux. Most, if not all, of them
| can be found and installed from your regular
| distro's repositories once you are back in
| the friendly confines of your distro of
| choice. You can find a complete list of
| games and download links at live.linux-
| gamers.net. Every single game played great
| -- a few even had cool soundtracks -- and
| while I was very familiar with many of the
| games, there were some I had never heard of.
