The Proliferation of Linux

LinuxLinks.com has a fairly substantial list of free games available for Linux.  In a two part series they cover a total of 84 games that meet their requirements, which are:

• Free to play (no download charge, no monthly charge)
• Does not require Wine to run. Wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows software.
• Not in the early stages of development

The games range from action titles such as Nexuiz and Warsow, to game engines such as Sauerbraten and ScummVM.  Surely this is a list from which any Linux user can find a game they like, but if it isn’t you can also check out the list of the 42 best commercial games available on Linux.

• 42 of the Best Free Linux Games
• 42 More of the Best Free Linux Games

Update: LinuxLinks seems to be experiencing some problems and so it might be difficult to access the articles.  The first of the articles can be seen through a Coral CDN mirror, but I’ve had no luck with the other.
