R4 Games


With over two hundred titles on store shelves as of this writing, and more coming out every week, there's a R4 Game to suit

every age and provide unlimited entertainment to suit all tastes. Unless you're swimming in money and can afford to buy a bunch

to see which one is the best, its not easy to choose a good R4 Game Go to a store and you're overwhelmed with the choices available -

from adventure games, to strategy, first-player mode and arcade games, the variety is unlimited. It is easy to get lost in the options.

Some player resort to reading R4 Games reviews, which gets tedious after a while. Others, ask friends for recommendations.This article will make the job of picking the most appropriate R4 Games for you easy by alerting you to some of the

best ones available.



Below are three of the most popular R4 Games in the R4 Games world.



My Sims



Being a massive success on the PC gaming arena, the Sims won millions of hearts worldwide, proving that games didn't necessarily have to be violent to be successful. The Sims can be enjoyed by the whole family, since its theme revolves so closely around a family structure. You can create and make new people in a town with cute characters resembling Playskool toys. The appealing character avatars are so entertaining that it's not hard to get stuck playing this game for hours!



Endless Ocean



This game falls in the simulation R4 Games genre. The R4 Games is set in a relaxing, interactive aquarium, which provides a great way to explore the unspoilt beauty and mystery of the sea. This is a great virtual R4 Games experience for all those who don't want to bother with the endless hassles of real scuba diving.You play a biologist with the Manoa Lai Oceanic Research Society and your job is to explore the ocean and identify the wide variety of sea life swimming down there. The slow pace and soothing underwater scenes make it easy to just swim around aimlessly and feel the stress melt away.This is a great R4 Games if you just want to distress by some virtual swimming.



WarioWare - Smooth Moves



This game falls in the puzzle genre. WarioWare- Smooth Moves splits itself into hundreds and hundreds of micro- R4 Games that give the player a simple, one-word instruction and five seconds to perform it using the R4 Games remote. The frantic pace and surreal micro-game design forces you to adjust your strategies - and your grip on the R4 Games controller, constantly in preparation for the next challenge. Once moment you're putting dentures into a grandfather's mouth, the next, you're moving your hips to twist an on-screen Hula Hoop, the moment after that you're using the Remote as a virtual fire hose.

Talking All

Everything.... I love gaming and hate switching back and forth all the time. Every game should run in Linux. Specifically anything made by rockstar games, ea games/sports (Need for speed and Madden/NCAA), and the splinter cell type games. But everything in general. At least the most popular ones.... If we could do that and make a descent media center we could rid the world of anti-virus software. Ha!!

Need for Speed!

Actually why dont game developers port their games to Linux by default! They develop so many versions------- Mobile, xbox, PC[windows], playstation, polystation, nintendo and lot more but not linux. And all these versions are very commonly pirated. Of course there are so many "official" sites to get these pirated :P So commercial game developers , IMO, shouldnt avoid their Linux versions if their concern is piracy.

New game on linux

Hi Everybody,

Recently I found a new Game made by a Linux fan. It's name is Super Tux. Although it's similar to super mario, it's the best game played by me on Linux.

You can check out this game at : http://supertux.lethargik.org/

Thanks
Mangat Rai

Super Tux could be the most favorite and played and known game around the Linux. There is nothing new to it. I have been playing for years now. But yes I accept, it is addictive and fun.

Yes x3
I would like to see the old C64 games tidied up and ported to "just work" on Linux.

Especially those no living owner of copy right (copy left) is standing.

Like "International karate" (sequel I and II) and "Pit stop II" of "Forth apocalypse" where.

The simple and fun games of the old days!

BTW I like the Powermanga a game ported from Amiga!

GOOD OLD GAMES one just "sits and plays"!

I'd like to see Age of Mythology work (better than it does for me at the moment) and also all incarnations of Airline Tycoon (Original, First Class, Evolution and the short lived Deluxe)

Video games ported over, now that is a subject i want to be apart of. First off all Indie games should be Linux based. That's beside the point; Sqaurenix like Final Fantasy 13 should be a Linux based video game as well as Fallout 3 and Call of Duty 2-4.
