24 Addictive Free Linux Games (Part 3 of 3)
There are literally thousands of free games that are available
to run natively under Linux. This huge selection makes sifting
through all of these games a mammoth task for any sane person.
However, this has not stopped the gaming faction at LinuxLinks
Towers trawling through the popular archives looking for games that
players will keep coming back to. Sure, games are a matter
of taste. However, what makes a game enjoyable does not simply depend
on personal preferences.
In this third and final segment, we recommend a further 8 free
Linux games that are great fun to play, highly playable and above all
have a special addictive quality. We suspect that there will be a few
games here that even the ardent Linux gamer will not have tried before.
To be eligible for inclusion in this list each game
needed to meet the following requirements:
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
This article is the third and final part in this series. If
you missed the first two parts, they are available to read here: Part
1, Part
2.
Now, let's scrutinize the 8 games at hand. For each game we
have compiled its own portal page, providing screenshots of the game in
action, a full description of the game, with an in-depth analysis of
the features of the game, together with links to relevant resources and
reviews.
