Gaming on Linux, Better Than You Would Think
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 in multi player, 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.
