5 Open Source Games You Should Try - Part 3 (Tremulous)

Tremulous is one of the most popular open source first person shooter (FPS) games available. In this game, you can choose to play either as part of the human team of soldiers, or as an alien buglike creature. There is also a real time strategy aspect to the game as both sides need to build structures ala X-craft games. The goal is to kill all opposing species and control their spawn points.

The gameplay is interesting. The graphics are good, but rather dark. Of course, given the storyline of humans vs aliens on a space station, I understand the choice of dark textures. Check out the following screenshots:
