This Web site lists the Top 21 Linux games of 2007. My first reaction was, they make games for Linux? My second was, no seriously, how can anyone make a buck making games for Linux? Then, after I pulled myself together, the list started to make more sense. Freebie download Tux Racer is definitely made for a Linux sensibility. It features everyone’s favourite penguin slaloming down a ski hill on his tummy (presumably avoiding snipers in the employ of Bill Gates). It’s not particularly inventive (or new for that matter – it was last updated in 2001), but there’s something slightly poetic about Linux barrelling down a hill towards its destiny, whether that’s to come in first or cross the line in a bloody crumpled heap.
