Most video games today are 3D, but of course are shown on a 2D television on computer monitor. Here are a couple of videos from the Independent Games Festival at the Game Developers Conference that take advantage of both the 3-dimensional and 2-dimensional aspects of the way we play video games.

This is awesome –
Players compete for fame and glory by buying and selling shares in sites on the world wide web. The price of a share is set at the site’s daily reach per million, according to alexa.com.
Here’s my Alexa index history - you can see my digg whoring at work. If you’d only sold at the right time, baby, you’d be rich, reech, reeech!

Lincity-NG is an open source clone of Simcity 2000. That, right there, is the major problem with this game - we’ve been there, done that, bought the T-Shirt, screwed the goats. Other than that, the gameplay is fine (it doesn’t seem to quite have the complexity of the commercial game) and the 3D engine is fantastic. Here’s hoping that the developers have made the game engine modular enough so that other people can develop new games on top of it. In fact, that seems to be a general problem with open source/Linux games - many of the game engines are great, but the gameplay itself is a little tired and cliched. Am I wrong?
