There's a lot to look forward to this year, so here's a quick reminder so that you don't get swallowed up!
This is by no means an exhaustive list (it's just a fraction), that's what the comments are for to tell us what you're looking forward to if we didn't include it, and to tell us how horrible we are for not putting it in.
7 Days To Die
Age Of Wonders III
Borderlands 2
Borderlands: The Pre-sequel
Civilization: Beyond Earth
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
Clockwork Empires - First build for Linux is due next month.
Company of Heroes 2
Counter Strike Global Offensive - Showing more signs of it being this year due to their recent blog post!
Darksiders
Darksiders 2 - We don't have word that it will be this year, but it's possible.
Dead Island
Empire: Total War
Football Manager 2015
Half Life 3/troll
Killing Floor 2 - Not confirmed, but hopeful for this year
Metro 2033 Redux
Metro: Last Light Redux
Outlast - Probably one of the scariest games ever made, but it's not confirmed it will be this year yet, but it's likely.
Risk Of Rain - On the 30th July they said it was coming along well.
Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut - 18th September
Super Win The Game
Stronghold 3 Gold - If you can put up with the crappy pathfinding & AI.
Terraria - Just recently confirmed officially as in-development for Linux/Mac.
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
Transistor
Tropico 5 - 19th September!
War Thunder
Wasteland 2 - 19th September!
That's one hell of a list not counting plenty of others. My wallet has sprouted legs and is off cowering in a dark corner right now. I feel so terribly sorry for my wallet.
Could this be the best year ever for Linux gaming? Stupid question, of course it is! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Some nice games there. I've backed Wasteland 2 up and am really looking forward to finally try the game out.
Shadowrun I already own and really appreciate that the current version will be updated to the directors cut for free. I'm currently really enjoying Shadowrun Returns.
Concerning Grimrock II, the developers have already announced that they will release the game for Windows first and think about releasing it for other platforms later. Source:

I'll hold off and wait till they release a Linux version of Grimrock II.

Quoting: KohlyKohlI'll probably pick up stronghold 3 regardless of the reviews because I haven't been able to play any good RTS' since I gave up windows completely years ago.
Also, here's hoping that the next stronghold will be on Linux...

As good RTS for Linux (but hardcore) you have the Wargame series, from Eugen Systems.

Quoting: MohandevirAll these games coming before 2015? Wow!I don't think Pillars of Eternity will release before the end of the year. It was planned for November but after testing the beta I don't want it to be release this soon. Also, they said that a Linux client for the beta version would be available in a few weeks a month ago and there isn't any news about it since then.
Lots of gameplay ahead for us!
What about Pillars of Eternity?

Pillars and Torment will not arrive before January, and...oh, well. If they aren't yet ready, then they're not yet ready. I do have a few games to bide my time with while waiting...The names of games being mentioned are certainly enticing enough, and it looks as though I'll be able to get choosy about which AAA games I want to buy.
And that's a Good Thing.
