One of my favorite games, Savage 2, is now available with no cost involved.

It has quite a unique gameplay and cannot be classified as belonging to a specific genre. The game is made up like this: There’s two teams fighting each other: humans and beasts. Each team has a headquarter the other team aims to destroy. (No surprises so far.) Each team has one commander and a bunch of “normal” players. The commander views the game from bird’s eye perspective like in Warcraft 3. The units he sees are partially under his control. The other units of his team are played by actual players. The players play in either first or third person mode.

It is a very strategic game and often one genius idea has a heavy influence on the outcome of the match. There’s quite a few more aspects I like about the game, but I don’t want to make this posting too long.

Just head over to the downloads section and get it for your architecture (Available for Windows, Linux 32 & 64 bit, OSX).

(I usually don’t do advertising for commercial products, but this one is an exception since it’s one of the better games for linux.)
