    Best gaming magazine around for a long long time (they started in the early 1980's.. 81? 83?), but from what I hear it's declined a lot in the past few years. It's really too bad.

    Don't forget Tux Racer. For some reason, whenever someone brings up the "games for linux" theme, Tux Racer is always mentioned. And Nethack.
