entertainment.newsforge.com — Linux and open source software lag behind the proprietary market in the number and quality of available video games, especially in the realm of first-person shooters (FPS). Here, Linux is an afterthought, if not ignored completely. Tremulous, a mixture of FPS and RTS (real-time strategy) written by Tim Angus, is an exception to that rule.

While Tremulous is okay, imho the best free software game out there is Allegiance.Real Time Strategy meets Space Combat with a *HUGE* emphasis on teamwork/Massively Multiplayerism.<a class="user" href="http://www.freeallegiance.org">http://www.freeallegiance.org</a>

Those of you who say it isn't "well balanced" enough, have obviously deleted it too quickly. At first I thought the aliens were too strong. Then when I played online (as an alien obviously), I thought the humans were too strong. Now, after lots of practice and dozens of hours of online gaming, I really must say that the game is very well balanced. Whether you're alien or human, the team with the better strategy wins. Even just spectating the game is alot of fun; something that cannot be said of a regular FPS such as Quake. I recommend those who thought the game was boring or unbalanced to spectate a few online games (with atleast 10 players). I'm sure you'll see that this game is indeed already very playable and does not require much more tuning.
