Many Windows users are reluctant to switch to Linux because they like to play games once in a while. While this theory holds true to hardcore gamers (the Windows platform does have some exclusive and popular titles), the same cannot be said about casual gamers.

The open source community has being busy developing a myriad of games for the Linux platform, and most of them are as fun as their PC counterparts. Recently I came across an article titled “Top Ubuntu Linux Games,” which listed the most popular ones. Here they are:

1. Tremulous
2. Grid Wars
3. VDrift
4. World of Padman
5. Nexuiz
6. Scorched 3D
7. Glest
8. Battle for Wesnoth
9. Urban Terror
10. BZFlag
