There's been a lot of new releases recently with no signs of slowing down, so what have you been investing your time in recently?

Personally I've spent more time than I thought I would have in Civilization V. It hooked me in a little more than I thought it would...just one more turn!

I've also just picked up the XCOM expansion in the sale, and look forward to seeing how poorly my soldiers have trained with their shocking aim some more.

Sadly I would like to invest some more time in Planetary Annihilation smashing moons into a base someone spent an hour building, but wow it's so utterly broken right now it's not worth repeatedly closing it and launching it again to see if the UI decides to show up in-game. I hope they fix this soon. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Still just DOTA2 with some Half-Life mixed in there somewhere. I think I have a problem...

Honestly, I have not been gaming recently. Too much to do.

I do still have a game of Duke Nukem 3D going using the gog.com release that I go back to on roughly weekly intervals though, and I am slowly and rather despondently making my way through A Machine for Pigs.

None of these are new releases, but then, I almost never play a game when it has just come out, even for Linux.

Some Planetary Annihilition ( which seem to not be broken on my arch linux ), some sanctum2 and many many Xcom :D

Xcom, that game is awesome!

I've been testing out a variety of mods on Minecraft recently. I've also been playing quite a bit of Pirate Hell too in my spare minutes, I find its a great bit of stress relief and fun (not much depth though).

I'm looking forward to Banished arrive natively on Linux as well as Football Manager 2015.

Nuclear Dawn and No More Room in Hell :P

I completed Back to Bed yesterday. It's a pretty neat puzzle game with a great visual style, but it's a bit short and on the easy side. Still really liked it though, and I don't regret picking it up on release.

I've also played through Dynamite Jack that I got in a bundle ages ago. I'm tempted to call it a hidden gem, only it's more of a hidden passably good game that's good for 15 minute sessions here and there.

Still have to get through Portal 2, but I'm over halfway through and each level have become much more of a time investment, so it has been harder to pick up lately.

Sadly I've stopped playing Civilisation V because of a few total crash I've encountered, it doesn't happen often but when it does that ruin it for me.

AI: War. New changes with the new expansion are very cool. Attack of the B-Team (minecraft) with some friends.

Eyeing XCOM on sale. I'm told I would like it, since I dig tactical RPG's.

Witcher 2, Dark Souls, Sanctum 2.

Long overdue Half-Life 2: Episode Two
Newly discovered Fortix 2
And the long awaited Civilization V (for 100+ hours now)
minj Aug 23, 2014
Europa Universalis IV >>> CivV. Spent a huge amount of time with it recently.

Now I resumed ETS2+Promods but unfortunately the opengl texture problem is back in the mod. Need to do some more hacking :)

Serious Sam 3 and I have a bunch to even get started with. I'm hoping AMD drivers learn to tell applications they have 2GB VRAM. Until then, I'm sacrificing fishes to our lord, Tux.

Thanks to Steam Family Sharing, I've been able play through Closure without having bought it...

Now it's Deponia.
Belarrius Aug 23, 2014
Star Ruler2, Overgrowth, Rust, The Witcher 2, Dota 2, Game Dev Tycoon and Need For Speed Underground 2 with Wine :D
feketenap Aug 23, 2014
Surprisingly - the Witcher 2. After the patches it runs like a champ! It's a great game.
Still just Team Fortress 2. There are a lot of "new" games on Linux but there hasn't been any new AAA games for a while and I'm honestly only interested in those because I'm spoiled on their quality. Most of these Indie games flooding the steam store have the kind of 2d graphics and playstyle you'd expect to find back in the 90's and just don't appeal to me.

Waiting on a decent linux AAA MMORPG. Not expecting any until mid 2015 at the earliest though.

Overwhelmingly the XCOM expansion. Also Sanctum 2, Normality (an oldie from GOG).

Really eyeing the Darksiders daily deal on Steam ATM, since they promised Linux support...
