Welcome to the another review in the PIN (Play It NOW) series. Conscious that all previous PINs have been action games, this time I’m covering Invisible Inc from Canadian studio Klei Entertainment, a superb stealth/strategy hybrid in the mould of XCOM.

Space sim Rings of Saturn was announced earlier this month, with a promise of a realistic top-down experience and it actually looks surprisingly good.

I absolutely love games that let me build something, drive around and blow stuff up so I've been enjoying my time with TerraTech which is now out.

Are you as excited as I am about the news of Sir Patrick Stewart returning as Jean-Luc Picard in a new Star Trek series? Well, now you can nerd out in style with Stage 9 which let's you explore the Enterprise-D from Star Trek The Next Generation.

If you need something to keep you going across a rainy weekend (rain has returned to my part of the UK, a lot of it too) then head on over to GOG as their weekend sale is pretty good.

SpaceBourne, an open space exploration game with RPG elements may see a Linux release, based on demand.

If the sound of building a steampunk airship, tank or whatever sounds like your gig then prepare yourself as Airships: Conquer the Skies releases this month.

I honestly can't get enough simulation building games, so finding out about Meeple Station was a bit of a treat.

After being in Early Access since late last year, Trese Brothers Games pushed hard and fast on patches to improve Star Traders: Frontiers and it's now officially out.

For those who love their real-time strategy games, you might want to take a look at the space strategy game Element which just left Early Access.

Oxygen Not Included, the rather excellent colony building sim from Klei Entertainment was just updated with the Expressive Upgrade.

Hipster Cafe seems like an amusing take on the management sim game and the developer indicated their willingness to bring it to Linux.

Star Traders: Frontiers, the space RPG developed by Trese Brothers Games is planning to leave Early Access on Wednesday next week.

Like your exploration and survival games? How about a pinch of physics fun? Space Bob vs. The Replicons is here to scratch that burning itch.

Star Ruler 2 from Blind Mind Studios has officially become open source and not just the game engine, it seems it's the whole thing.

If you're after a mechanical keyboard that isn't overly expensive, has some good features and not insanely loud, the Corsair STRAFE RGB Mechanical Keyboard with Cherry MX Silent Switches is a damn good bit of kit.

The rather interesting crowdfunded RPG Pathfinder: Kingmaker is no longer releasing next month, instead they've set a date of September 25th.

Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War recently released with same-day Linux support and now I've had some time with it I do have to say I'm pretty happy with it.

Lazy Galaxy: Rebel Story is an interesting take on the shoot 'em up genre, as it mixes it up a little with you rescuing allies who join you in the fight.

Fantastic news for fans of Egosoft space simulation games, as they have now actually confirmed that X4: Foundations will be on Linux.
