107 juegos de disparos en primera persona para Linux (1a parte).

¿Quién dice que no se puede jugar en Linux? Vale que el catálogo nativo disponible no es ni mucho menos tan amplio como el de Windows, pero es que además muchos de los juegos para Windows pueden ser aprovechados directamente en Linux gracias a desarrollos como Wine, Cedega o PlayOnLinux.

Pero como decía, hay un buen número de videojuegos nativos para Linux que aprovechan las virtudes de OpenGL, y que sobre todo demuestran su potencial en el terreno de los First Person Shooters.
