Comments on: Top 5 Linux Games for 2009 http://www.zmogo.com/video-games/top-5-linux-games-for-2009/ Information about New and Popular Gadgets Sat, 13 Mar 2010 02:32:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Rob http://www.zmogo.com/video-games/top-5-linux-games-for-2009/comment-page-2/#comment-2731 Rob Wed, 25 Nov 2009 03:21:08 +0000 http://www.zmogo.com/?p=1681#comment-2731 I know many of these games have been out for awhile. But, they have matured, and these are some good solid contenders for "free" as in beer(and libre) games. Tremulous is a very interesting take on a FPS, and I almost started to say that Sauerbraten should take the top position; but, after a bit of consideration, I think the 1, and 2 positions are well placed. Tremulous gives that rare opportunity to play "the bad guy", thats right folks, you get to be an insect, including the ability to walk on the walls and ceiling(some restrictions apply in the name of balanced play), its absolutely cool to play a game that has something that so many other games don't have. Sauerbraten, what can you say, it's a nicely polished in your face first person shooter based on the Cube2 engine. No namby pamby vehicles, just you, a few weapons, and the rest of the world to conquer. Enjoy, I play the hell outta this title; I dunno, something about good old fashioned down and dirty fragging just never gets old with me. Let the games continue.

Sauerbraten, what can you say, it’s a nicely polished in your face first person shooter based on the Cube2 engine. No namby pamby vehicles, just you, a few weapons, and the rest of the world to conquer. Enjoy, I play the hell outta this title; I dunno, something about good old fashioned down and dirty fragging just never gets old with me.

Let the games continue.

Seems we just juggle them around a little :/ Aren’t these the same games that were best in 2008 some probably even 2007? Seems we just juggle them around a little :/

Savage 2 is now completely free and available for linux. Also, there is a closed beta for a new game based on DotA mod for Warcraft 3. Looks amazing. Definitely some innovative, and commercial quality material that is available for linux. Check it out. So I didn’t see anything about S2 Games!

It's a 3D MMORPG that I've been playing for a while now an I find it quite addictive. I have it running in both Ubuntu and PCLinuxOS. What about Regnum Online?

Damnit…I bet it’s Tremulous, Sauerbraten, BZFlag, Warzone, Glest, and Flight Gear!” Dex, that would sound a lot more intelligent had you not listed six games as what you thought would be on the "Top 5" As soon as I saw the headline on Digg I started thinking, “Top 5?

That said, even under the assumption that these are the best games available in 2009, not the best games released in 2009, this list fails. No Savage 2? No ET:Quake Wars? Even UT 2004 is better than Tremulous. If these were the best games available for Linux, I would stop using Linux.

Top 5 Linux Games FOR 2009. As in games FOR you to play in 2009, not games FROM 2009...geez. Anyways, rant over! I love Sauerbraten! It's fast paced which is perfect for me. Nexuiz sounds fun, thanks Darius. Wow, for all of you who think this is from 2009 or made in 2009 or anything, read the title! Top 5 Linux Games FOR 2009.

In it's place you put a crappy side scroller that might be kinda fun, but certainly isn't a great game! What a crappy list. As a Linux user, I think it's time we smash this list with some new, REAL games! As soon as I saw the headline on Digg I started thinking, “Top 5?

(http://fofix.googlecode.com) Excellent game, in my opinion. Plus, since it was forked recently, it comes closer to 2009 than anything else listed here. xD How about FoFiX, the fork of Frets on Fire?

Excellent game, in my opinion. Plus, since it was forked recently, it comes closer to 2009 than anything else listed here. xD

You included something like SuperTux but forgot immensely popular games like Spring? Actually something like CA or XTA might be more appropriate, since Spring itself is just the base RTS engine. Open source, cross platform, single- and multi-player, eye candy, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_(computer_game) Uh… You included something like SuperTux but forgot immensely popular games like Spring?
