If you like games--especially free ones--you're guaranteed to like LinuxLinks' three part collection of "addictive" Linux games. You can find the third installation of the collection here, and the first and second parts are linked there. The folks at LinuxLinks used "addictive" as their keyword in selecting the games, and they range from well-known titles such as Atomic Worm to lesser known ones, such as Epiar. We've done quite a bit of our own coverage on free, open source games at OStatic. Here are some can't-miss examples.

In this post, Lisa covered Arianne, which is a very interesting platform for letting you create your own games. You can even get your game hosted on Arianne's server for online play.

If you're looking for five really fun open source games, you'll find a collection of them here. Frets On Fire, in particular, is well-loved by many game players.
