[CoLoCo] attention game junkies

[Jim Hutchinson]

Some of you may already know this, but I found out about some cool
Linux games in this month's Linux Journal. The coolest is probably
World of Padman (http://padworld.myexp.de/index.php?news). Really cool
graphics (but then I'm a gamer noob so maybe they suck). Also pretty
cool was Open Arena (sudo apt-get install openarena). It's a quake rip
I guess. A couple others mentioned that I didn't try are Urban Terror
(pain to install I gather) and Tremulous (sudo apt-get install
tremulous).

On the less violent front are Grubby Games
(http://grubbygames.com/games.php). They cost money ($20) but have
demo versions.

This world of padman is pretty cool. I haven't figured out how to play
and some of the servers were empty. When I did find a room with people
I usually died quickly. Maybe a bunch of us noobs could find an empty
server and learn together. Just turn off compiz. Some of the games
didn't like it.
