I tend to be a little cynical about list articles. Most are just trolling for links to try to drive ad clicks. And I am pretty certain that this article at Linux on Desktop is doing just that. However, the list given is actually pretty cool. There’s a lot of games in the list that [...]

Wow, I am actually ending my string of consecutive “Links for XX-XX-XXXX” posts (sometimes I think that del.icio.us makes that too easy) and writing an actual entry in this here blog. And wouldn’t you know, it’s a sad one.  (via Wired): “Red vs. Blue, the cult hit, web-video series created from in-game Halo footage, concludes [...]

GameDrift - Technology and Gaming Combined - News - New Team Fortress 2 Details Emerge
Originally from the German gaming mag “PC Action” (and then translated on the HalfLife2.net forum) comes a boat load of new details on Valves new multiplayer masterpiece.
Need I say that I am so looking forward to this?

There are some things that are simply too good to not see. This Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker music video to Enya’s “Orinoco Flow” is one of them (via Google Video):
This is a music video I made about Zelda: the Wind Waker, set to Enya’s Orinoco Flow. The song fits fantastically with the visuals, [...]

Well, there goes my free-time. I decided to finally get around to purchasing Neverwinter Nights. I’m always at least a year or two behind the Big Game (unless Erin is nice enough to buy one for me as a present). I’m also not a big RPG fan. Add those together, and you’ll understand why it [...]

Are you a Linux user who’s tired of having your Windows buddies say, “Yeah, but you can’t game on Linux”? Then the GSuperGamer-1 Live DVD is for you! What better way to show off Linux’s gaming abilities than with this DVD.
The SuperGamer-1 is a modification of the famous and well respected PCLinuxOS distribution optimized [...]

Aigarius Blog has a list of 10 free/open source games for Linux, which are also packaged for Debian. All 10 of the games are easily installed using apt/aptitude/synaptic/etc. I’ve tried a few, know a few, and am having a blast playing the others. I don’t know that I’d list these as the best available, but [...]

IGN is running a fun little article, titled, “Top 10 Tuesday: Tom’s Favorite Videogame Weapons.” It’s actually kinda scary how many of those video games I’ve played!
I do think that Duke Nukem 3-D’s Shrink Ray was robbed, though. It shoulda been number one!
This amazing tool allows you to miniaturize your target and squash it under [...]

[Phoronix] has a review of Cedega v5.1 runnin with an nVidia controller. The final verdict? Not great, but good enough. “As can be gathered from the benchmark results, gaming under Linux with Cedega certainly comes at a cost. However, even with a decrease in performance, the games were still very much playable with respectable [...]

Ugh. Ugh ugh ugh. So I just invested a little over 40 hours playing Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords (on my Ubuntu machine under Cedega, of course). For the first 30 hours, I was entranced. The story was building to what seemed would be a fantastic crescendo, something eclipsing [...]
