Being sick has made me find some cool games for Linux, I’ll tell you! Battle for Wesnoth is a hex-board strategy game based in the world of Wesnoth, complete with orcs, trolls, wizards, clerics, red mages, white mages, chargers, merfolk, sea creatures… and it’s an open source game. This is fantastically complete, and the campaigns (of which there are many!) are fairly well written (for the genre) and very entertaining! Units level up and gain nifty powers, you can play online or hotseat, and it’s just plain good ol’ fashioned hex fun.

It’s available for Windows, Linux and MacOSX, free and a hell of a lot of fun. Take a look at the website and the screen-shots for some eye candy.
