Finding a game that will run on a Macbook (not a Pro, just a plain Macbook) can be tough. However, I was pleased to get Nexuiz 2.5 going on my Macbook running UbuntuLinux’s Intrepid Ibex. Very snappy and worked great!

Fortunately for all, Nexuiz works on Mac, Windows and GNU/Linux! And you only have to download one file to get started and get going.

Nearly a year ago Nexuiz 2.4 was released and it offered impressive graphics along with a new menu design, improved networking performance, reduced memory usage, and many other enhancements to this open-source game. The developers behind this first person shooter have now outdone themselves again with the release of Nexuiz 2.5. This latest release of Nexuiz brings even better graphics capabilities along with a new HUD, network communication improvements that cut the bandwidth in half, smarter bots, even better graphics, and several new maps. In total more than 3,000 changes make up Nexuiz 2.5!

When it comes to performance improvements

, Nexuiz 2.5 has its server/client communication completely rewritten. The benefit of rewriting and optimizing this network communication is that the consumed bandwidth has been cut in half!

If you’re into first-person shooters, then Nexuiz 2.5 is definitely worth checking out!
