Does anybody play other OS games? I play a bit of wesnoth, and have recently discovered vega strike. Both are excellent and free and stuffs...

Tremulous is pretty interesting. It's somewhat like Natural Selection except more FPSy and completely free/open source. If you're new don't be a builder though OK :\

Well not open-source as far as I know, but here are two popular freeware games:

Cavestory (2d shooter, i.e. best game evar) http://agtp.romhack.net/project.php?id=cavestory

and

Warrock (3D FPS) http://www.warrock.net

Space flight FPS/Strategy game:

Allegiance

Its pretty sweet but very hard to learn.

Allegiance has a learning curve slightly higher than Mount Everest...

Sauerbraten. Neet, sweet, simple FPS game, made from scratch. Used to play a little NetPanzer... before I decided that the unit AI was too stupid to tolerate. Warsow is a very challenging but incredibly fun stunt-oriented FPS deathmatch game. Then there's OpenLieroX, an opensource fork of LieroXtreme. And Armagetron, which everyone loves.

These are some of the open source games I've played at least once. Some of them can appeal real gamers, but most of them are smaller and more "primitive" games.

RTS:
- Globulation http://globulation2.org/wiki/Main_Page ; unique but fun game to play once and a while.
- Warzone2100 Resurrection project: http://wz2100.net/ , open sourced commercial rts.
- UFO Ai, http://ufo.myexp.de/ ; bigger and more active project then the others I already mentioned. Very original and definitely worth the try.
- Widelands http://xoops.widelands.org/modules/frontpage/ Settlers II remake
- Freeorion http://www.freeorion.org/index.php/Main_Page Project in early development, maybe interesting.

MMORPG:
- Planeshift http://www.planeshift.it/ (Not completely open source). Very nice game.

FPS:
Nexuiz: http://www.alientrap.org/nexuiz/ Shooter.

That's all I could think of atm.

I love the danger of the Spring curve. You think you're on solid ground, and then you play another mod.

Hurrah for Nexuiz+Warsow. Both are good games and are only getting better. Too bad that the stupid realism in FPS games is still popular...
