Anomaly - Warzone Earth a game introduced to Linux gamers in one of the previous Android Humble Bundles has updated it's website to include the Humble Store purchased option meaning if you missed it from the bundle you can buy it for Linux directly now, good job!

Be warned! They have really shitty Linux support and doesn't seem to care at all about Mesa drivers. :(

sry but mesa drivers..seriously?
those are not for gaming anyway atm. ancient opengl support without s3tc and all pretty bad performance.
yes in some cases and with some older games they work and ati opensource drivers are pretty decent lately..but still far behind from prop.
thats my 2 cents.
dont wanna start flamewar now tho.

Then you are quite mistaken, I play everything with free drivers, and it works very well indeed.
May I also remind you of a little company called Intel, the biggest GPU manufacturer in the world and a very popular choice among Linux users? Yes, their official driver is a Mesa driver.

i know that all..but those GPU's are not for gaming mostly anyway..yes some lightweight games for sure..
thats so even on windows..u dont get much out of those GPU's.
popular ofc, since its cheaper to buy a pc/laptop without dedicated card. but u get more like office pc then. not a gaming machine.

Most game developers is adding some support for Intel GPUs, id is making Rage work on Intel, Unigine is also adding support. Not to mention that up until Oil Rush was released pretty much every native Linux game had really low system requirements.
Not supporting a big chunk of the market is bad (both for them and us), but their support is plain bad. It took ages to bring out a new build to support slightly older distros, they fail to even acknowledge or comment on bugs, they have some poor QA droid doing support so it isn't possible to talk to someone who actually can fix things, etc.

well yeah i understand that. but u wont enjoy much of the games like RAGE and Unigine(Oilrush) games..well i mean they might be making it to work on them, but it will be the lowest possible settings etc.
its really not a gaming..but i agree those drivers should be supported if they can.. alltho i dont want to think about the pain of playing games on those gpus.
having tested few games on windows with intels GMA X4500 and 3500 - framerate is really unacceptable..while they do support shader model 4.0 even..and games start up at least on windows part. but performance is just terrible.
yes..games with not much of gpu demand can work well enaugh.
its ur call tho. i dont think every game should support/work on those cards..most games have those cards listed as "not supported" in the readme file or sometimes just "not officially supported".
if you are a gamer then you probably have some decent dedicated nvidia or ati card anyway. if you are a into cardgames or other small games then you can live with integrated low-end gpu's as well.
just my thoughts:)

You can't really count Rage since it's not native...
There's nothing wrong with a) being happy to run games on the lowest settings, and b) seeing developers take advantage of/test with open source drivers.

GMA X3500 review
In a review performed by Register Hardware in December 2007,[14] author Leo Waldock argued that because the GMA X3500 is not capable of running any PC game that requires DirectX 10, the addition of DirectX 10 support to the GMA X3500 was "irrelevant".[73] During that same review, the GMA X3500 was used to run the PC games Crysis and FEAR Extraction Point, where it was able to render only 4 and 14 frames per second respectively for each game.[74] In the end the review concluded that overall the X3500 made "minimal advances" over the GMA X3000.[73]

In a review published in May 2008, the GMA X4500 showed a superior game performance to the lowest-end 1-year-older GeForce 8400M graphics card in some CPU-bound tests, while losing to the still low-end GeForce 8400M GS with a slower CPU.

I wouldnt call that a gaming really. like i said before..yes game slike world of goo, osmos, braid or similar should work well.
but anomaly has some more 3d stuff which require better GPU to run decently
ohh and its windows tests yes.. so let alone linux, which have second rate drivers compared to windows
