Well at this moment I think the three most advanced projects using CS are:

    Dreams Eternal (http://dreams.sourceforge.net) This is my own FPS project.
    It is seperate from CS but uses CS. Current stage is pre-alpha. We have
    a walk-through demo with a working inventory system and some menus.

    PlaneShift (http://www.planeshift.it) This is a big RPG project. They have
    a very active project manager and it seems to be going very well at the
    moment.

    FreeRaider (http://freeraider.sourceforge.net) This is a space simulation
    game.

If you do a search on Crystal Space in SourceForge you'll also notice a number
of other projects using CS.

Almost none of these are finished. The only two really finished games are
Tunnel Fighter and Blocks.

Yes I agree that PLIB is a lot more used than CS. CS still has a steep learning
curve.
