Sauerbraten, It's not your mama's cabbage!

I recently ran across the 3D FPS Sauerbraten. All I can say is "Excellent!" Completely free and open source, Sauerbraten is first person shooter with it's own style and graphics.

In looks it might have a little in common with Quake but that's a stretch really. The creatures that you fight are fairly unique looking.

The one complaint that I might have is not enough ammo for my weapons. I have that complaint for every FPS I play though so it;s not a biggie.

The performance is amazing. With no tweeaking at all, I was running at about 60fps.

The game has multiplayer support but I haven't had the opportunity to try it out yet.

An added bonus is a work-in-progress RPG called Eisenstern. Eisenstern is a parallel project using the same game engine. I played it for a while and while it's still rough, it's kind of fun and mindless entertainment. I was able to kill the golem but not the dragon.

If you're into RPGs or First Person Shooters, you owe it to yourself to give Sauerbraten a chance.
