Jimmy Atkinson has posted up his Top 25 Linux Games For 2008 at WHDb.com. If you’re new to Linux gaming or just looking for some suggestions for what to play, this list hits right on target. All the games mentioned are high quality ’serious’ games - no card games and puzzles in sight.
Many of the games mentioned are ones which we’ll be reviewing here at Games Kernel over the next few weeks.

Over To You…

Have you played any of these games? What did you think?
What’s going to be the hottest game in 2008?

Wasting Time With Mike And Ari recently wrote an interesting comparison between Linux and Windows Vistafor playing older Windows games. Whilst the study was more than a little biased and perhaps not technically sound, a more complete attempt is likely to follow in future.

Personally, as a Linux gamer I don’t really care what does and doesn’t work under Vista. However, I’m still a firm believer that in the long run, more Linux users and Linux gamers can only benefit the scene in general, and “It runs more games than Vista” seems a pretty good counter argument to the usual “I won’t run Linux because I can’t play my games”. It’s common for us to look at the games Wine and Cedega CAN’T play, this is a nice reminder that actually, compatibility is going pretty well.
