Five amazing open source FPSs
Game On
Linux users have an array of open source gaming options at their fingertips. We take a look at five first-person shooters that really stand out.
Linux users often lament that they don’t have as many gaming options under Linux as they do on other platforms. I submit that many of these folks are missing some amazing open source Linux games right under their noses. SourceForge.net hosts nearly 1,600 games and gaming-related projects, which means quite a few choices are actually available. In fact, while writing this article, I had to hold back in identifying only five among the many games I really enjoy.
Many facets of open source gaming make it far superior to its closed commercial lternatives.
