Gaming on Linux, Better Than You Would Think
,----[ Quote ]
| Gaming on GNU/Linux is still getting a bad rap. Obviously there aren't
| as many titles to choose from and you'll be hard pressed to go into your
| local Game and find Linux support advertised on the jewel case. However,
| no big deal. There are plenty of games out there that will keep you busy,
| and how much can one person play, honestly, unless you're unemployed and
| up 24/7 living on coffee and coke, and still have mum to do your laundry?
| I never understood how come when you join a server there are guys that
| have memorized every key combination and every trick in the book to give
| them the edge, and this is probably not the only one they're playing either.
|
| So here are a few options, including commercial ones. Staples of the free
| software world such as Wesnoth and Freeciv are not going to be mentioned
| because frankly, the graphics just suck. I'm also more of a FPS guy, but the
| same is true for Urban Terror and Assaultcube. Being multi-player shooters
| only the game play is also rather limited. Even Soldier of Fortune back in
| the day was more fun and still looks decent, and you're not gong to
| convince people Linux is a viable gaming platform offering them pre-1998
| graphics or kiddie games like Blobwars or Frozenbubble (although that one
| was fun for a while). And who doesn't mind spending money on games for
| other platforms should not have a problem shelling some out for a Linux
| version. Most of the time you won't have to, though.
