Funny, the search is still missing some games, like Killing Floor and Red Orchestra, which are in the CDR.
Either way, they finally got Bit Blot to release Aquaria for Linux (and maybe Mac) there, they never released it anywhere after the bundle. Finally.

Annoyed a bit about the controls though, anyone got any idea whether it works the same way on a Mac (the controls on the right even though they should be on the left)?
I thought there'd be nice integration at least. Although there is indicator support.

Seems you may be able to try and play/download games without being in the beta. Install the Steam client, go to the steam website, go to a Lnux game you own, and hit the play button and tell it to launch! Can't see if it actually downloads the Linux version right now (at work), but it might!
