Best Free Games

[SnakeByte29]

I was just wondering, what are some of the best free games for Linux (any genre)? Also, is there a "Worms"-type game for Linux?

Cards game, or reflexion like Mahjongg, Sudoku, etc are great free game.

There is also some (little) 3D games. One I like is Neverball

One I like also is Powermanga

For what you asked (worms-like) there is one at least, it's wormux

But lately I discovered more worms-like games. I think there are two or three different games around the concept. One is in development currently and seems to be really fun but I can't remember the name.

Do you mean free as in beer (no cost, gratis) or free as in speech (open source, libre)?

Either way, some good FPS games: Enemy Territory, Cube, Nexuiz

Well, my favorite "free" games to play on linux are:

- Frozen Bubble
- Tux Racer
- Xtux
- Supertux
- Supertuxkart

PlanetPenguinRacer is fun. But I am addicted to TriplePeaks solitaire.

OpenArean is a nice FPS imo but if you like to run at 100mph Nexuiz is the fps for you :P
RegnumOnline is a nice MMORPG give it a try its simple to install no darn compiling :)
Boson is a nice RTS or BOS Wars or if you wanna try something new Globulation 2, its a fun little game just takes forever to win.
All the tron games are fun imo....now I just have to try an actual racing game and find a good one :)

Stepmania has a native linux port that's free. Fun rythm DDR clone. - http://www.stepmania.com/

Second Life.

GridWars 2, a Geometry Wars clone. I think it's kind of illegal but it's darn fun anyway.

I'm praying to all gods and whatnot for Blizzard to make a Starcraft II bative for Linux

[Spensawr]

It always seems like wine can handle blizz games pretty well. They keep it clean and simple so if they don't I think we should still be playing it shortly.

I will still pray anyway! and send letters too! man that would be one of the biggest steps fro a lot of people to become windows free:D

[kingvik]

are there any free racing games that are similar to NFS.

[leibowitz]

kingvik: I don't know any.

Armagetron is awesome - doesn't work too well over the internet though, and star fighter is pretty cool, also I'm a big fan of Tux racer aka planet penguin racer
