Top 3D Linux Games
aprilie 12, 2008 — adynisA trecut o perioada destul de langa pana ce au aparut primele jocuri pentru Linux . Marea majoritate a oamenilor ce poate cu adevarat Linux-ul considerau ca daca ar fi sa aleaga un punct slab fata de windows …ar fi cel al suportului de drivere si jocuri . Eh uite ca usor usor ,toate au evoluat , drivere noi au aparut si la Nvidia si la Ati , si imediat dupa asta ..au inceput sa apara si jocurile . Pe langa faptul ca jocurile de windows pot fi emulate de linux cu ajutorul lui Cedega (acesta fiind cel mai important ) .. priviti si cateva imagini din cateva jocuri dragute special facute pentru linux . Enjoy .
Armagetron Advanced

Armagetron is a multiplayer game in 3d that attempts to emulate and expand on the lightcycle sequence from the movie Tron. It’s an old school arcade game slung into the 21st century. Highlights include a customizable playing arena, HUD, unique graphics, and AI bots. For the more advanced player there are new game modes and a wide variety of physics settings to tweak as well.

Flightgear

FlightGear Flight Simulator project is an open-source, multi-platform, cooperative flight simulator development project. Source code for the entire project is available and licensed under the GNU General Public License.
The goal of the FlightGear project is to create a sophisticated flight simulator framework for use in research or academic environments, for the development and pursuit of other interesting flight simulation ideas, and as an end-user application.
Glest

Glest is a free 3D real time strategy game, available for several operating systems.
The core game allows the player to take control of two completely different factions: Tech, which is mainly composed of warriors and mechanical devices, and Magic, that prefers mages and summoned creatures in the battlefield.
Very cool and complete warcraft-like strategy game, pity there’s no multiplayer yet.
Racer

Racer is a free cross-platform car simulation project (for non-commercial use), using professional car physics to achieve a realistic feeling and an excellent render engine for graphical realism. Cars, tracks and such can be created relatively easy (compared to other, more closed, driving simulations). The 3D, physics and other file formats are documented. Editors and support programs are also available to get a very customizable and expandable simulator. OpenGL is used for rendering.
Savage 2: A Tortured Soul

Savage 2: A Tortured Soul is a fast paced strategy shooter that takes team based game play to another level. Each match is a war for dominance where two teams of 5 to 32 players attempt to destroy each other. It will take more than guns to finish the job. Assume your position as a fighter, armed with swords, guns, and magic; or take the field as a support character that
builds, heals, and resurrects fallen comrades.
Feel like bringing out the big stick? Become a siege unit like the Behemoth (a huge animal biped descendant of elephants that takes down buildings using an uprooted tree) or the battering ram to destroy enemy buildings. Always thought you were a natural born leader? Take control as the leader of the action, the
commander, who builds, researches, expands, and tactically strategizes your team’s efforts.
TrueCombat: Elite

TC:Elite happens to be a total-conversion modification of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory by Team Terminator and Groove Six Studios. The game is free and playable across all platforms. Notable features include iron sights aiming (no crosshair), multi layer object penetration, letterbox / wide screen view modes, lag compensation, client side bullet prediction and support for PunkBuster, the anti cheat software.
VDrift

VDrift is a cross-platform, open source driving simulation made with drift racing in mind. It’s powered by the excellent Vamos physics engine. It is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) v2. It is currently available for Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X and Windows.
Warzone 2100

Warzone 2100 is a real-time strategy game, developed by Pumpkin Studios and published by Eidos-Interactive. Although comparable to other 3D RTS games, it does contain some features that are unique. These include various radar technologies, a greater focus on artillery and counter-battery technologies, as well as a different vehicle design method.
Wolfenstein: Enemy-Territory

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory was originally planned as an add-on for Return to Castle Wolfenstein, but soon became it’s own game, a separate entity with full single player, multiplayer, AI opponents and teammates! Well that didn’t happen and what we got, while less than planned, is amazing…and free!
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is a free, stand-alone multiplayer only product, which means it’s for online play only, but all you need is what you download. You do not need anything else to play Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, than what you download for free. No Return to Castle Wolfenstein, no additional file packages or monthly charges, just one phat lump of action.
