It started with the opening of the Quake 2 source code. Then GNU/Linux saw a port for Quake 3 Arena, then Unreal Tournament 2003, UT2004, and Doom 3. We have good first-person shooter (FPS) games for GNU/Linux, but they're all proprietary and restrictively licensed. But Nexuiz is different. It's a free software multiplayer deathmatch game available for 32- and 64-bit GNU/Linux, and 32-bit Windows. It has nothing on Unreal Tournament, but it holds its own against other games and on older hardware that can't be upgraded enough for newer games.

Yup. I've got this game installed at home and it's FAST. Much like Quake3. If you like deathmatch style games this is well worth a look.
