dolson writes "Earlier today Linux Game Publishing announced the next two titles that they will be porting to Linux. They are both made by Grim, a Swedish development company, and they are called Ballistics and Bandits: Phoenix Rising. One is a high-speed racing game, and the other is a driving/action game."

On the Win32 side, Ballistics was one of the first games to use DirectX 8 vertex and pixel shaders, which where introduced with the Geforce3.

Here's a Maximum PC review [maximumpc.com]. It got a 7, with gorgeous graphics but not too much content. Interestingly, it only listed for $30.

How are we going to play these games on Linux, when setting up 3D is such a dark-art voodoo nightmare? I cringe when thinking of trying to make OpenGL work.

Since server is quite slow...
