I don't get it. I have an insane amount of respect for anyone who manages to get a game of any quality out the door (it's stressful, tedious, repetitive (testing, at least), ...), so I really hope this isn't taken as a slight against the developer(s) -- it's not intended in that way in the least. I think the reviewer is doing a huge disservice to the developer with this review, however pure his intentions may be. He's showing screenshots with insanely low-poly objects, two-color, repetitive textures, and clunky terrain, while raving about the graphical quality. Instead of that, focus on the gameplay, story, anything -- something that indie devs can actually compete on, because graphical quality certainly isn't it.
The enthusiasm of the review is the story here. Read it twice. I just love how stoked this guy is about the game!

The most fun I've had in a game on Linux is Warsow ( http://www.warsow.net/?page=media ).
For me it was Nexuiz - http://alientrap.org/nexuiz/ Had a bunch of friends playing with me regularly at one point. Nowadays I game on Windows again - much better choice.
Whenever I see a giant block of ads between the title and the first paragraph and the little bar of ads posing as navigation I just assume it's a spam blog.
Game like it's 1999!
Yeah, srsly. Decent indie effort but check out the Epic Citadel iphone demo for what can be done on a small scale and ANY pc game made in the last year or so for what can be done by a real game developer for real customers who actually spend money on games (some of the time). Unix is not a gaming platform, and never will be. Ever.
