“In some circles games are regarded as a distraction
and a time waster. However, there are many benefits to playing
computer games other than the obvious simple unadulterated fun that
they offer. Games can help break up the monotony of a hard day’s
work, escaping from the harsh reality of real life. Some games
offer cooperative gameplay, which focus on fun and interaction with
others, encouraging participation and working as a team solving
task-oriented goals. Other sorts of games help to exercise the grey
matter instead. These are just a few examples of the positive
attributes of computer games.

“Gaming on Linux is alive and kicking. There is a good base of
free and commercial games to play with a steady stream being
released and enhanced each month, encompassing a wide range of game
categories. The purpose of this article is to identify some more
remarkable free Linux games which are definitely worth
investigating. The article is not restricted to any particular
genre, so hopefully there will be something of interest here for
any type of gamer.”
