After a short beta period Magicka 2 is now officially available for the roll out of Steam Machines, and for those of us on normal Linux desktops too of course. They accidentally pushed it out earlier, removed it again and now it's officially out.
I wonder how many "now on Linux" posts I'm going to be doing today, a few I hope!
I tested it out on the beta briefly and the performance was really quite good, and their communication on the forum has been great. I'm still impressed that the developers added in specific graphical settings you can adjust to help the performance on AMD GPU's, that's really great to see.
I will most likely arrange some games across this week online to celebrate, and will livestream some of them.
About the game (Official)
The world’s most irreverent co-op action adventure returns! In the next chapter of Magicka, players ascend from the ruins of Aldrheim to experience a Midgård almost wiped free of Wizards after the Wizard Wars, with the few that do remain having either gone mad or extremely hostile toward all others.
To rid the world of evil, again, up to four Wizards, and their guide Vlad, will traverse Midgård armed with the next iteration of the famous Magicka dynamic spellcasting system, as players reprise their roles as the most overpowered, unpredictably funny Wizards ever known to fantasy!
Find Magicka 2 on Steam here.

Interesting that no Steam Machine is on the main page, nor that Magicka 2 is on the "new" section, and it's not even in the Discovery Queue.
It is available. Just like Universe Simulator, it was a game I missed from my dual-boot days, and now there is a new version for us! There are, however, a lot of negative reviews, 33% of them :S: .
No complaints here, except for Steam defaulting to GOL for me to know it's even available. As usual, Thanks, Liam!.

Off topic, but I just got a Steam Client update which finally sorts the Big Picture mode Store for my platform - namely Linux. Now that is leaving things to the last minute...!

Did you pick up DiRT: Showdown when it was 85% off? I've done every trick, lap and takeout in that game and NO ONE dares challenge me (I'm looking at you LiamD, ignoring all my challenges :-) )

Quoting: ajgpI hope you are as well, but currently the Steam landing page is curiosly absent of any big fanfare. Im hoping that is because of the time difference and when the USA comes online steam will be loud and proud about SteamOS's release today. I will be severely dissappointed if today passes as if it is any other day for valve.Huh... I didn't even know SteamOS was officially releasing today.

I thought you knew. The Steam webmaster is a monkey.
