Yeah, I say ioUrbanTerror, why isn't it in the list anyway??
Or Frets on Fire, that's fun simply because I can play my music and still use the GH or RB guitar(s).

Because neither of these are in the list, I choose not to vote on this one.

Seriously though, Saurbraten is in the Debian repositories. That means that at least the Debian folks thought it counted.
Can't you read? CONTENT is not open.

If you want to produce new content with the sauerbraten engine, you have to be aware that the source code may be Open Source, but the game and the media it consist of have their individual licenses and copyrights.
Therefore it's open the same way as Quake or any other ID game with GPL'ed engine. The question is not the OPEN SOURCE ENGINE OF THE YEAR (and that probably would be irrlicht), but OPEN SOURCE GAME OF THE YEAR (having open content). You can't play game with only the engine.

Wesnoth. Highly addictive. Should probably be banned to save people such as myself who utterly lack in character and free will.

FreeCiv.

FreeCiv is not the most impressive game of the world, but gives us endless hours of fun.

Wow. Upon a second look, I find that you are right. I guess I kinda made an arse of myself there. My apologies.
