There has to be a conspiracy of some sort against us. I believe someone somewhere is deliberately trying to ruin our productivity by unleashing a storm of awesome games that we (at least I) get hooked on. Here's one of them: Borderlands 2!

Here is some Sunday reading for you from other gaming sites across the internet. Not much generally happens on a Sunday, so hopefully this will be a regular article.

Valve have released the Steam Hardware Survey results for September and thus, GOL’s first survey comes to an end. Thanks to all of you who took the time to do it. The new survey for October is also out, so remember to fill that in too!

I am writing this in the hopes that someone who can do something about this, reads it. eg. Valve and all game devs I guess.

I guess it's time to come back from the cruel wasteland and take a look at this simple yet fun indie strategy game that is not quite like anything I've seen before.

I Can't Escape: Darkness is a new horror game coming to Linux from US developers Fancy Fish Games. It is the follow-up to a game created at a game-jam.

Hearthlands is my latest little discovery and even though it's in the early stages it looks really promising. Hearthlands plays out much like the Majesty & Settlers strategy games that puts the focus on buildings, resources, heroes and other things a King needs to watch over, so you don't control your units directly.

The Blackwell series cemented Wadjet Eye Games' position as one of the most beloved modern developers of classic point-and-click adventures. Today the first three games will be available for purchase on Linux.

Sorry I'm a bit late! This game turned out to be a bit more addictive than I intially thought and only now I managed to escape for a moment to write this article. But let's get to the point and see what awaits us in the post-apocalyptic world of Wasteland 2!

Techland's Chrome Engine 6 will support Linux, but it seems they don't yet have enough faith in Linux as a gaming platform after we spoke to them again.

DoubleFine has announced it will cease development on Spacebase DF-9 and release their Lua code for modders to carry the dream on.

There aren't too many collectible card games on Linux, but here's something a bit like that. Though it comes with plenty of traditional turn-based strategy along with the cards. Let's see what's in it!

I'll get right to the point -- why do I think Stash: No Loot Left Behind deserves a penguin clan? The game is currently being funded on Kickstarter and only needs a little push!

To balance both my schedule and my workload I decided to pick and play something that isn't too heavy on content and mechanics. Not The Robots fits that category nicely so let's see what's in store for us this time.

The team behind the Kickstarted game A Song for Viggo have announced that they have teamed up with Talawa Games, the developer of Unmechanical, to launch the game on additional platforms, including Linux.

Remember when Randy Pitchford of Gearbox told us not to get our hopes up? Then Borderlands: The Pre-sequel was confirmed for Linux? Well he's a funny guy as Borderlands 2 is now showing signs of coming over to Linux anyway. UPDATED
