So, according to the CDR, now Red Orchestra is coming to Linux, and also appears to be the first game that didn't come to Mac before.
Another one is The Book of Unwritten tales. This one is also completely new to Linux.
Trailer for the game
There's also a Valve test app there, that doesn't specify what exactly will it be - the other two have a clue in the install script, pointing to Defender's Quest.
The other new games to come there have already been ported and just confirm they will be on Steam - Dredmor, SPAZ and Limbo, if I did not miss something.
It's no surprise though, it's by the same people bringing Killing Floor to Linux!

Oh god damn, i'm going to be even more broke now!
But yeah, how it's looking, the amount of cash I'll have to spend will be terribly big. Which is a problem, when I don't have that much.
Is it just me, or is it looking that at this rate, the launch will be better than for Mac? Once all the Humble Bundles are there, the other indies (Oil Rush, BEEP, etc.), Valve games and possibly other source games. Anything else we can expect?
I would LOVE to hear how they done it and if more Unreal games could be ported to Linux.

That was my email dialogue he posted BTW.
Still, as far as war shooters go, I think the only one with a big community and a Linux port will be Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory for now. Because it's free and moddable, it's community hasn't dwindled in the slightest. On the other hand, Red Orchestra just got a new mod, so it might be not that bad.
Also, the CDR now has 36 games that state Linux in ValidOS. I can't find the new one though, any ideas? I think it might just be the SS3 dedicated server, but I can't really tell.
