Recently a friend of mine asked me to list some of the best ubuntu games and I was quick to pass on the link to my article on best linux games that I wrote some time back. What I received in return was the typical ‘techy kinda reply’. Lame games is what he said (bloody linux penguin!!). Though I did grumble on him for some time yet later on I had to work hard to search for the best linux games that will actually give you the feel of extreme linux gaming. After all I am a blogger and I have to live up to everyone’s expectations. I do the hard work, compile the article and these so-called geniuses won’t even leave a comment of appreciation once they benefit from the article! Enough of the frustration, let’s us talk about the best linux games that will actually make your system feel extra happening.

Urban Terror

Urban Terror is totally free and one of the best linux game that you might ever get to see. It is based on the concept of Quake 3 (and most of the other similar rps games). The interface has been designed with the notion ‘ultra simplicity’ being kept in mind very seriously. Looks like they knew that linux should never ever have the ultimate games that we most of the time see (kidding ).

Nexuiz

Nexuiz is one more game in the list of best linux games that can give a good fight to some of the major FPS games. It is an awesome 3D game built on quake engine which is available for most of the platforms. It is famous for the huge list of weapons that it features and the great speed that it provides for its players.

Savage 2 – A Tortured Soul

So, are you WoW lover? If you don’t know what is WoW (which is World of Warcraft) then this game will be true surprise for you and if you already know WoW then you will feel relieved that those exciting features are also available in linux too. Savage 2 is truly one of the best linux game available. This game is the best possible mix of RTF and FPS which is rarely available on linux. Fight on!

Alien Arena

Alien Arena is for those gamers who love first person shooter games. The game takes use of the features available in quake 3 plus unreal tournament and boasts of its own unique features which makes the game ultra exciting. This freeware game actually beats all the possible shit out of you

Warzone 2100 Resurrection

Mankind has totally destroyed the planet and your job is to command the forces so as to rebuild what has been turned to ashes. The game has around 400 technologies to keep you busy. You ain’t gonna be bored that easily.

These girls are sexy, they’re hot and they have an instant drooling effect on any human male, level 15-80, who is watching them. These are the same girls who made you love them the way only a game-geek can love: truly, madly, deeply. However, they have one big flaw: they are game characters. They are not real, they are just a bunch of sexy pixels hugging each other, with only one goal in mind: to be perfect. And, boy, they’re really successful on that matter!

And now, let’s face it: we know they’re as real as Jack Thompson’s love for video games or GTA: Vice City’s multiplayer mode, but it crossed our minds a few times already that it would’ve been the coolest thing on Earth if they had been made of flesh and blood. Hell, let’s be honest to the end: we would’ve loved it if these girls had been ours and only ours, so help us God!

However, there is still one problem nobody has ever thought about: if these beautiful game characters got a real life tomorrow, would they really be the perfect company for our poor, geeky souls? We’ve not-so-randomly picked six of the best known and appreciated game heroines and judged them from a real-life perspective. We were shocked and scared. Let the countdown begin!

Also listed are the tools that were used for creating the mods.
