The 3D action game Mini Ninjas can now be played on Linux via Native Client.
You have four levels are free in game.
You can unlock more levels by purchasing Core points.
If you want to have very good frame rates with almost no lag use a better video card like : Geforce 9500GT , ATI HD 4650 .
Chromium B.S.U. is an arcade-style, top-scrolling space shooter available on Windows, iPhone, PSP, Mac, Linux and numerous other UNIX-like operating systems.
It is a free software distributed under the Artistic License.
The original version of Chromium B.S.U. was designed in 2000 by Mark B. Allan and released under the Artistic License.
Since then it has received the contribution of numerous people in the open source community.
The gameplay is based on a player who plays the role of hero, shooting their way through a barrage of enemy forces.
The game is similar to 2D top-scrolling space shooters played in arcades.

Let's see the game:
Skydive is a game developed as a student project at University of Skövde in Sweden. We are 17 students that for ten weeks together have made this game in Unreal Development Kit. The gameplay mechanics are completely physics based, i.e. the character is really flying. The mountain is super huge (actually 14000 times larger than the Unreal Tournament map dm_deck). The game features several game modes, two characters and splitscreen support for up to four players. The game is a PC game but is played played with an Xbox 360 controller.
On UDK website, we can see this:
If you are using UDK internally within your business and the application created using UDK is not distributed to a third party (i.e., someone who is not your employee or subcontractor), you are required to pay Epic an annual license fee of US$2,500 per installed UDK developer seat per year.
So what is my point.
To make something like this we can use an free and better 3D engine.
Like Ogre 3D, Irrlicht.

This is a new video created by blendercookie about Blender 2.63 features.
Thank you for share us.
This is the new release of Blender 3D team and it comes with very useful features.
One is Cycles Render Engine and it is still under development is still available since Blender 2.61.
If you use linux OS then requires glibc 2.7, includes Python 3.2 and FFmpeg.
If you want to learn more , try this online manual.
The official website announced:
Anyone can now download a full version of the best All-In-One Game Development Engine, for free and use it without charge for non-commercial game development. You can try out the fastest toolset for creating game worlds and use the power of CryENGINE 3 in your own games
I could not test it because it requires hardware requirements.
The minimum hardware resources are:
• CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz, AMD Athlon 64 X2 2GHz or better (a multi-core processor is strongly recommended)
• Memory: 1 GB RAM (2 GB recommended)
• Video Card: nVidia 8800GT 512MB RAM, ATI 3850HD 512MB RAM or better (SM 3.0 minimum)
Bellow is a video, also you can find on internet.
Wildfire Games, an international group of volunteer game developers, proudly announces the release of "0 A.D. Alpha 9 Ides of March", the ninth alpha version of 0 A.D., a free, open-source game of ancient warfare. This alpha debuts the Roman faction, new combat and trade systems and more.Top new features in this release:
