42 of the Best Commercial Linux Games

Posted by timothy on from the answer-to-everything dept.

LinuxLinks writes "It is true to say that the number of commercial games released for Linux each year remains small compared to other platforms. Nevertheless, we faced lots of difficult choices compiling a list of 42 of the best commercial Linux games. The selection we have finally chosen covers a wide range of different game genres, so hopefully there will be something here that will interest all."

    42? why not 43? or how about 50? There is a theory which states that if you ever discovers exactly why it is 42, the Life, Universe And Everything will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
