Poll: Anyone Play Red Eclipse?

[wookiee777]

I found this neat little Arena Shooter called "Red Eclipse" while browsing through a Wikipedia list

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open_source_games

and I finally played my first few online matches today, and was wondering if anyone on the Escapist has ever even heard of this game or plays it. What do you think about it?

As a bonus for discussion, are there any other free or open source games that are worth trying (the Wikipedia list is kind of long and I don't know where to start looking)? Also, sorry if the thread seems kind of vague.

As the creator of Red Eclipse, I keep an eye on a few other Free and Open Source FPS games, so here are a few of the big ones that I can recall off the top of my head:

Xonotic
OpenArena
Warsow
Cube 2: Sauerbraten (this is where the engine for Red Eclipse comes from)

Some other non-FPS ones worth mentioning:

SuperTuxKart
Secret Maryo Chronicles
SDL-Ball (breakout/dx-ball clone)

You joined the Escapist just to post in my thread? I think I'm feeling a bit bashful.

Well, I'm glad that you spent time to make a game that was both really good and free. And I'll definitely be checking out all those recommendations.
