Thumbs up Linux Games

We seem to have a lot of gamers. Some may be surprised at the number of quality games available for free when using Linux.

Thanks for posting. There are really good games available for Linux, at least they are really fun and creative, so that you can entertain yourself while playing.

Personally, I would definetely recommend Freedroidrpg (RPG), OpenArena (FPS) and Warzone 2100 (RT Strategy). Go and check them out If you haven't already.

I found this...
Penguspy - Just the Best Linux Games

Hopefully one day there will be enough critical mass for the big game companies to include Linux to their titles like they do for Windows machines and Macs.

Some of these games run on Mac OS also, because of its Unix underpinnings. Neat.
