It's the weekend and the sun is out, so naturally many of us will be staring at a bright screen playing the latest and greatest Linux games.
I tend to go through phases of being attached to specific games for a few weeks before utterly burning myself out on them, currently Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has managed to hook me back in. It's not exactly the newest game, but it still has such fluid and fun gameplay that there's still really nothing else like it in the shooter scene.
HITMAN is also tempted me back once more, since I've never actually gone through the Patient Zero bonus campaign. With HITMAN 2 being announced, I feel like I need to get my practice down in case Feral Interactive say they're porting it to Linux again (they sadly haven't—yet). It would be odd if they didn't, since HITMAN seemed to be quite a popular game with Linux gamers.
Caves of Qud has also been amusing me lately, such a great story maker. I won't tell you how many times I've died…
So many games, so little time. Choosing what to play does become a real issue, with an insane amount of great quality games on Linux—there's truly never been a better time for us.
What are you playing this weekend and what do you think about it?

I finally picked up Mad Max in the Steam sale last week. It's nice to have a AAA action game to really stick my teeth into again. I've heard it compared to quite a lot of things, but nobody seems to have noticed the similarities to Avalanche's other series, Just Cause. The basic gameplay loop is the same: take over territory by blowing stuff up or demolishing it with a harpoon/grappling hook. Okay, MM has Arkham-style melée combat rather than JC's firearms, and there aren't any helicopters, planes, or boats, but I'd recommend it to any Linux gamers missing their Just Cause fix (hint, hint, Feral... ;) ). I wish I'd bought it sooner.
