Free Software FPS Games Compared

Posted by Zonk on from the getting-your-frag-on-the-cheap dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Linux-gamers.net has posted a thorough, although harsh, comparison of free software shooters. It compares seven open source shooter games in a lengthy discussion. Few have gone to the trouble of comparing and carefully examining the genre before. The author ranks the games in the following order (best to worst): Warsow, Tremulous, World of Padman, Nexuiz, Alien Arena, OpenArena, and Sauerbraten. In making these choices, it claims to use gameplay, design, innovation and presentation as criteria and includes a short history of free software shooters in the introduction."

    So far, I've counted 3 myminicity accounts spamming slashdot:

    One tip: Bookmark SlashdotCity, and visit it every time you get duped into visiting a spammer's city.

    ObTopic: It's too bad there will probably never be a first-person exploration mode in MyMiniCity.

    If it's free & open source games you are looking for, then look no further.

    You mom had you as the result of working a donkey show in Guadalajara. So why would anyone listen to a jackass like you?
