One video that got buried in my inbox of games was the Nvidia video from SIGGRAPH, so here it is. Packed full of lovely info. It's almost an hour long, so you may want to grab a coffee.

As part of an ongoing series of asking you stuff, today I ask "What was your favourite Linux game release from August?".

I had given up hope of seeing Gas Guzzlers Extreme on Linux, but it seems the developers have found a new porter.

Recently, we accepted an article that quoted Obsidian Entertainment saying Linux wasn't worth it. That same developer now has nicer comments about it all.

One-man developer Side Scroll Studios talks to GamingOnLinux about developing their own engine, promoting an indie game and managing expectations.

In a recent interview with PC Gamer, lead producer Brandon Adler of Obsidian said, "I don't think it was worthwhile developing for Linux. They are a very, very small portion of our active user base - I think around one and a half percent of our users were Linux."

With all the big titles coming to Linux, it is easy to miss the smaller ones. You do not always want to invest hours of your life building an empire or engaging in epic quests. Sometimes you just want to blast some alien bugs for a few minutes while your coffee is brewing. The game I am looking into today lets you do exactly that.

Intel are now showing off a new benchmark they created to test Vulkan against OpenGL, even though it's running on Windows it's pretty impressive.

The new Unreal Tournament has been updated again, and it's sporting a fresh coat of paint on the main menu, amongst other changes.

Arma 3 is set to see a Linux beta soon, but they will be looking to see how it goes down before they let it graduate anywhere.

It has arrived folks! The Unity editor for Linux is now available in an experimental build, and I can't wait to see what Linux developers do with it.

Feral Interactive are awesome, that's not exactly news, but they did send out an interesting tweet earlier showing off some new kit.

It's community question time here on GamingOnLinux, and today's question is: "What have you been playing recently?"

It's not often I tell you to outright avoid a game, but Pump-Action Captain is a game you really need to just walk away from, see inside for why.

A little warning announcement for you, it seems the latest update for Dying Light has broken the game for Linux gamers.

In a very unsurprising move, new slides out of SIGGRAPH 2015 from Valve talk about Source 2 and Vulkan. The game featured is of course Dota 2 Reborn.

Now that I’ve had some time to sit down and try out Planetary Annihilation: TITANS, here are my thoughts of it.

The Flock seemed like an interesting experiment for a game. There are limited lives for everyone, and once gone, the game is over. Sadly, Linux will see a delayed release.

The developers of Halfway recently celebrated a year of their game being released, and they threw up a nice little graphic showing information about what happened. Included in this are Linux sales statistics, and Linux support requests.

I thought this would end up happening, the developers of Cobalt which is published by Mojang and even shares one of the Minecraft developers has dropped the planned Linux version.
