tivion

Tivion is a Linux application for watching TV on-line for free, which comes 78 channels from Spain, Argentina, United Kingdom and Russia.

Many TV channels are in TS, a video format used to store video on DVDs using MPEG video compression. This has it's advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you will receive an HD (High Definition) signal quality and the disadvantage is that MPlayer will need a few extra seconds to convert it to MPEG and for caching. Therefore, if a TV channel doesn't start playing right away, don't think it's broken or that something is wrong, it just takes a while until the channel will start playing (5-30 seconds usually).

Blood Frontier: New Free First-Person Shooter Game [Open Source, Cross-Platform]

blood frontier

Blood Frontier is a free and open source single and multi-player first-person shooter game built on a complete remake of Cube Engine 2, which lends itself toward a balanced gameplay, completely at the control of map makers, while maintaining a general theme of tactics and low gravity.

The game uses SDL and OpenGL which allows it to be ported to many platforms, therefore it works on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

The game is still in it's first Beta, therefore you must not expect any graphical wonders from it. Visuals are sufficient, but not mind-blowing. Our main point of interest is – especially in this phase – gameplay.

Although there’s still a long way ahead, Blood Frontier has great ambition. The experience available today is just a fraction of the total envisioned picture. In the future, Blood Frontier has also planned on deepening out other playing modes, as well as a complete single-player campaign.



Blood Frontier Features:

Urban Terror: One Of The Best Free FPS Games [ Windows, Linux, Mac OS X ]

Urban Terror™ is a free-to-play multiplayer first person shooter game for for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. It's a mod for Quake 3 Arena but it doesn't require it anymore, as it can run on ioquake3. Unfortunately Urban Terror is closed source, even though ioquake3 is under a GPL license, but that doesn't mean you can't play it.

Urban Terror can be described as a Hollywood tactical shooter; somewhat realism based, but the motto is "fun over realism". This results in a very unique, enjoyable and addictive game.


Gameplay features:

* The weapons available are from real life.
* The weapons have recoil.
* The weapons are less accurate when fired while moving (called movement penalty).
* The weapons require reloading after a magazine has been expended. Reloading before a magazine is expended will result in the loss of the remaining rounds in the magazine.
* Falling from a sufficient height causes damage, and possibly death.
* Wounds cause bleeding, which must be bandaged to prevent the player from bleeding out.
* Sprinting and jumping drain stamina
