Several 3D games for Linux
Comrades from the blog Online Games have made a good list of 3D-games under Linux OS. And taken not randomly from the ceiling, but received some, but recognition from gaming magazines in the form of reviews and, in some cases, awards. Many of the toys in the list below are cross-platform, but all of them are completely free and come with an installer for Linux, so the same Wine will not be needed to run them.
America's Army
Tactical multiplayer shooter America's Army released as part of a public initiative, as conceived by the American government, capable of attracting recruits to the American army. The first version of the game appeared in 2002. At the moment, a stable Linux-compatible version has a sequence number of 2.5.
Tremulous
The Tremulous open source team shooter is a bit like the Quake 2 mod called Gloom and the Half-Life Natural Selection mod. In 2006, the game was downloaded more than 200 thousand times, and she received the award “Game of the Year: Choice of Players” in the “Mod of the Year” competition organized by the Mod Database.
Tux racer
Simple "race" with a penguin "in the lead role." Relatively nice graphics and considerable potential of replaisability due to the possibility of modifying the game with mods. It's a pity that the last release took place in 2001.
