Commercial Game of the Year
 

What game have you shelled out your hard earned cash for?

Unreal Tournament 2004 :)

Thanks Harishankar. After 3 nominations I'll set up this category.

Doom 3? But it's relatively new port to Linux.

If linux has call of duty I vote for that. I'm not sure if it does but the windoze version is awsome.

ut2004

Call of Duty
Medal of Honor
Sims 2
Half-Life 2

I don't know if any work on Linux but those are my ideas.

dustin_wielenga,

He's asking for commercial native Linux games. Not any games that work with an emulator like WineX

I apoligize, I didn't know it could only be Linux.

UT2004, Doom3, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. ET isn't new but its still an awesome game.

Neverwinter Nights! Shame the toolset doesn't work but you can play and it's faster than in windows :)

D3.

Doom3 dvd - when i get it from tuxgames, until then I voted for ut2004!

I voted for Doom3 but UT2004 has the 64bit port. It was a tough call for me.

Edit- NWN is amazing too. Such a massive community with some nice addons/modules.

I voted for UT2004. The multiplayer in this game is unmatched. Its fun and with the support from the mod-community there are tons of maps, mutators, conversions to keep the game on my harddrive for a long time(until the next version!). This would explain the awards that its earning right now. Plus the big bonus was Epic had the Linux port available(on disc) when the game shipped! Kudos to them for that!

UT2004! That game is uber.

NeverWinter Nights. Get the expansions and enable hardware mouse support, and it's one classy RPG. I'm also swayed by the fact that it runs on my PC. :)

NWN has at least storyline, which is pleasing.
I was tired of UT in 10 minutes. Minimum brain capacity, maximum adrenalin

UT2004

NWN and UT2K4 are both awesome games.... tough call

Doesn't Half Life 2 have a linux port?

enemmy territory

Doom 3, but I also miss 64-bit binary for AMD64.

where is America's Army (ok, there's no option to blow up the baddies...)???

It's free, it's networked, it's amazing!

D3

MagicMan

HL 2, the best!

I voted Americas Army...Guess just because I beta test it and have played it almost every day for the last couple years.

I JUST picked up UT2004 tonight, have not installed it yet so I don't know how it plays.

Definitely UT. killing your opponents and your own brain at once

enemy-territory by far :D
altho it doesnt cost anything :)

DOOM 3, although I certainly didn't shell out my hard earned cash for it.

Doom3, the only one which is commercial can run on my box.

It's true, Half Life 2 is by far the best.
And although I haven't tried it, I was sure it also had a Linux port?
Can someone confirm this and if possible add it to the voters list before time runs out.

Otherwise, I'll have to settle on D3!

Does HL2 have compatibility w/ Linux? If i does, than yea we all noe which game's gonna win ;) If it isnt compatible, its Doom3.

I spent my bandwidth on WolfET - the best game ever made and it's free

Doom3
HalfLife 2

UT2004.
Regardless of which game is the best game (subjective), Epic is definitely supporting native Linux gamers more than any other company right now IMHO.

UT2004 I just love that game...Doom 3 rocks as well but the multiplayer on UT2004 is unmatched and thats why it gets my vote.

UT2k4 all the way :)

Hopefully when they new engine from Bioware comes it, their new toolset will work in linux. Theres only a few reasons I have kept my windows install with such a nice computer:

3ds Max 6(and soon 7)
HL2 SDK
Photoshop
MS Office 2003 Pro
NWN Toolset

After that I use Linux for everything else, since there is a perfect equivelant for everything else. I would dump Windows if only Discreet would release a Linux Port of 3ds Max though...

Neverwinter Nights

Played all the expansions. Simply love it.

OK, here's a real tough one. For those who don't keep up on games, there are two mentioned that run on Linux, and are both free. Enemy Territory, and America's Army. Both of these are multiplayer, and both of these are very modern games. But I would say that Enemy Territory is better, the graphics engine is a little crisper.

How can anyone argue with two games that are totally free, and run on Linux. Both of which are very good multiplayer games. Enemy Territory and America's Army. These far outweigh the others, there is no comparison. You can have enormous LAN parties and not have to worry about distributing copies to your friends, how nice is that.

UT2004 is one of the best games i've ever played. Add Linux support from the box to this, and we have a winner. The community have to endorse companies that offer Linux support so well as Epic does.

PS: Americas Army and ET are commercial games?

voted UT2k4

UT2004. Doom3 was just too heavy for my hardware :-(

UT2004! Just because when I buy the "normal" Windows Box I have the Linux Version included! All other Games I have to download or buy a Linux Only Version. And with 2004 they even have a Tux on The Box :)

I hope they continue the good work and hope they will even support Linux equal to the Windows Version (Manual, System Requirements, Support People that know there exists a Linux Port :D ).

doom3

Half-Life 2!!
 

Definitly Half-Life 2! It runs in Linux on Cedega.

UT2004 hands down...
 

Sorry, if somebody posted this already, (didn't read through all 500 posts). But there are also mods for UT2004 that just work too. Like Red Orchestra, and Frag Ops. There is also Airbuccaneers, (though I didn't test this one, just heard it worked).

Anyway with these mods who cares about Counterstrike, and IMO Red Orchestra is what the Medal of Honor series (in Multiplayer) should have been.

So my meager vote goes to Unreal Tournament 2004...

My fav is HL2 with CS:S, but not to many people have that installed under linux! :)

WHERE'S Half Life 2!!!!!!!!:mad: :tisk:

doom 3 in linux is spectacular!!!!

the sound, the videos, graphics
a wonderful game!!!
