Where are the Good Open Source Games?
piratePenguin:
Planeshift looks cool.
It's licensing is similar to something that's been discussed here before.

PlaneShift is free for players, you can download it and play it without any fee.
PlaneShift uses two licenses. All source code of the engine is Open Source and under GPL. This means it can be reused in other projects. All the other assets are proprietary and copyrighted to Atomic Blue Non Profit Corporation and no reuse is allowed.
If you are interested, please review the reasons behind this choice.

I've tried planeshift ... there are 3 main problems with it as of now:
1) The Linux version is almost always released a long time after the Window$ version. Which sucks cuz you need the new client to play :(
2) Everyone in the game is not too nice. I've been there and I asked people simple questions ... their answers: RTFM ! And the manual is not very complete either, or at least it wasn't the last time I checked.
3) It's damn boring. Killing a rat with one eyeball for hours on end in order to get it's eyeball and possibly sell it to buy a cheap weapon so you can kill a bandit for a couple more hours ...
It'd be nice to see a good open-source 3D MMORPG ... but so far planeshift doesn't impress me much
piratePenguin:
Oh, well I guess I'll not bother with it.

I saw an advertisement for a 1st person shooter game designed specifically for linux...wish I could remember the name...it was very half-life reminiscent.

That game where you go around killing spiders (or, if you're a spider, you kill the humans)? Tremulous or something like that it's called. It's very like HL, except for the spider/human thing. And it suckkkkkkkkked when I was playing it. (spiders, like wtf?)
