Tired of the doubting people, who think Linux has few or no gaming, a
user speaks up, with screen shots, and a new game teaser promotion:

It has a number of good games certainly, but as corevette says the general
public (most of which don't use or even know what Linux is) is not after the
lovely free a lot of which are open source games, they are after games that
are "Oblivion" or "Call of Duty 4", games that are unlikely to see the light
of day on Linux unless its user base increases on the desktop. Personally,
I'm disappointed that Lincity didn't make the list. I wasted ages in that
game.

but most of them are quite trashy to be honest. Games like Torqs
GL117 and Foo billiard need a lot of time devoted to the graphics
part to make them as good as, say "Need for Speed" or "Grand
Theft Auto"

It wont! Ever! Most gaming companies make games for consoles like
XBOX, playstation and Wii before trying out for PC (Read MS Windows).
They would be even less interested with Linux as long its main problems
are rectified. Linux has way too much problems when it comes to closed
source software installation. Way back in 2001, EA Sports did make "Medal
of Honor" for Linux, but they dropped support for it after a few months!
Same
with "Doom 3".
