Phoronix: Shadowgrounds: Survivor Is Still M.I.A.

Well over a year ago we shared that two new PC action games were being ported to Linux. These games were Shadowgrounds and Shadowgrounds: Survivor, but throughout 2008 updates on the Linux clients status were bleak...

Guys, a bit off-topic, so sorry for that. But let mes ask.

Linux games "Top Ten" type of articles/reviews mostly focus on FPS. Is there a good place to search for high quality (both free software and proprietary) Linux games for little kids? (I'd say, ages 2 through 10 or so). I know some of them, like Secret Maryo Chronicles, Super Tux, and such, but I failed to find a good place to keep track of things, because there are so many half baked, version 0.0.0.1/2 games out there ... and so much of a focus on shooter type games.

Oh well, thanks for any pointers!

if you look in the package repository for your distro, it should contain a number of games- and if you want strictly kids games, look at the educational sections- KDE has a very nice selection of education apps including games.

Thanks, Dashcloud! Yes, I do look in synaptic/adept, and there are literally dozens, maybe hundreds of agmes, and really a few are top notch. Same with happy penguin, it's been around for years, but there is too much content, most of which are really 80's looking games ;)

I was looking for something like this:

But with a focus in non-violent content (there are a couple gems in that blog).

Maybe if a place like playdeb (when it goes live) sorts things by popularity, that sort of thing would make sense

Oh well, thanks!
