This is the first post that will open our new MONDAY Specials section, a section in which, every monday we will review some of the best softwares and games that can be bought or downloaded from the Internet. This week we will list ten of the best freeware games created upon the open source CUBE engine and distributed freely for FPS fans from all over the world.

CUBE engine: Some gamers have played them, some didn’t. There are a few freeware games build on this open-source engine. Cube, AssaultCube or Sauerbraten are three of the best games based on these sources (cube and cube2), classic multiplayer FPS’s with both multi and single player capabilities.

1.CUBE. This is the first game developed and released freely, based on this engine, a Quake like FPS that runs on a variety of operating systems including MS Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X and even Pocket PC with 3D acceleration. There are 37 SP (SinglePlayer) maps and 65 DM (DeathMatch) maps, for a total of 102 maps all together.
