By -
tagline-image
Today is Sunday, so that means generally there isn't much news (that isn't personally backlogged!), so today something different.

A question for you the community, what have you been playing recently and have you enjoyed it? Start recommending good games to your fellow Linux gamers

With all the games we have on Linux now my own personal library of games has grown to incredible levels. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Dwarf Fortress has soaked up all my gaming time this weekend. I've been trying out the double-slit method of punching through a multi-level aquifer. It'd be going a lot better if my miners would stop throwing themselves off of trees when they're bored. :c

Up until the new DF, I was playing XCOM and Civ V.

I have been playing Legend of Grimrock and Monsters Minis Extreme Off-Road. I love the first and I like the second. Both are recommended.

I also tried Sunrider and the Skyward Collapse demo in wine for a few minutes. The first is very similar to Planet Stronghold and I see myself playing in the future. About Skyward Collapse... I don't get it, it's like playing a two players game alone.

Finally, Eldritch was not played but added to my library in a recent sale.

Watching a lot of Dota 2, playing some.

Civ 5 of course, a huge timesink.

And The Book of Unwritten Tales. I hate point and click adventure games in general, but this one seems to be hilarious and charming enough to overlook the retarded point-and-click gameplay.

Mostly Civ5 and VCMI, with a bit of Desktop Dungeons here and there.

Recently I am playing Hand of Fate , very nice game... :)

To be honest I am getting easily bored by games , I cant play a game more than 30-1h.
I like games that put you straight to battle, I hate bla bla games , with a lot of story and do that, do this, go there, speak to this guy....QUESTS and especially grinding games!

I have tried to get to some other genres of games fps,roguelike , strategy ,sims,survival,crafting, adventure etc but meh boring as hell.
Actually I am looking for a game like WoW PVP,BattleGrounds/Arenas on Linux (even though I am not playing wow any more) cant find such a game.... not even on Windows.

I have tried Mount & Blade: Warband , Sir you are being haunted but again bored in less than 10 mins , do this, do that ...........

Give me a SWORD and a SHIELD and Put me Straight to Battle!!!!!!!!!!! am I asking a lot?? :><:

Most of the times I prefer to play old MAME Games , like King of Fighters or some old arcade action games, much more enjoyable :D

No, I'm not trolling, I was trying to help a fellow linux gamer. If you disagree with waht I said, would you please bring some arguments ? You obviously seem to think what I said was stupid, so, would you care to share and tell us or me why you think what I said about Floris mod is inaccurate ?

Quoting: GoCorinthiansWindForce FTW! GTX 870 coming end of year!

Indeed! But it´s big as hell! Took a picture. of it and my old GTX 650Ti and the 770 is a real beast!

Thought about waiting for the next gen, but nah. Wanted some more juice, and my 650Ti started to sack with all the awesome new games that´s been released lately.
