Games for Ubuntu/Windows


Recommended Posts

Hey all, I use Ubuntu and my roommate at college is pestering me into installing Windows "/sigh" because he wants to game with me and wont buy an xbox. So I was wondering what cross-platform games are available these days??

Thanks guys:))

ETQW is cross platform and works great in Linux. UT3 will hopefully be available on Linux. Epic said it would be, and they probably have it ready to go out the door but there is some stupid issue with middleware. If the middleware was Aegia then the recent Nvidia acquisition should be good news for us linux gamers.

Also, Steam runs in wine as do most (all?) Source games (including TF2). They play fine but Wine doesn't support pixel shader 2 yet so they don't look as good as they would on Windows. The water looks worse and going uber looks a bit silly. But it's no worse than playing it on a DX8.1 graphics card.

Doom3 might be worth a try, maybe not the default deathmatch game types but going cooperative with the coop mod.

Also NeverWinter Nights, if you are into RPGs (a bit old, but fun nonetheless).

I have UT 2004 running on my system in native mode as well. There is a .sh scripte included on the CD set that lets you install it directly under Linux. I'm also running NFS: Most Wanted under WINE as well.

Is there any EASY way to use Steam and it's games on Ubuntu? I've tried many times, it works so slow on WINE, and the graphics in games are max DirectX 7 mode :/

That's the only thing that keeps me using Windows
