Duke Nukem 3D. Shadow Warrior. Blood. All built on the Build engine, these three games when taken collectively are often referred to as the Big Three, and they are now all available for Linux from GOG. But just how well has GOG done in bringing these classic '90s shooters into the modern era?

Sadly Storm United has left Linux out in the cold for a month now, but an updated build for all platforms is due this week.

Shadow Warrior 2 was quite a surprise to be confirmed for Linux, especially after we only gained the first instalment recently. Thanks to E3, some gameplay videos have surfaced that makes it looks crazy good.

Having been on Steam's Early Access program for nearly a year, Intravenous Software has released their latest patch bringing NeonXSZ up to 'content complete' status.

Some time ago Minor Key Games published their political stealth action thriller Neon Struct. I think we better cover this game before the big brother comes and censors us.

A new Interstellar Marines update has been released and this one focuses on the Hell Week, a new multiplayer game mode that pits up to 64 players against each other in a big free-for-all.

A sequel to the popular reboot of Shadow Warrior has been announced and based on the Steam Store page that went live it seems we will be getting a Linux port of this game as well!

Next on the list of games that have come out of Early Access we have Verdun, an FPS set in the time of trenches, gas attacks and nearly constant machine gun fire and artillery: The Great War. Let's see how it holds!

Minor Key Games have released their political thriller Neon Struct: Die Augen Der Welt on Steam. The game sends you into a neon-coloured surveillance state that has its sights on you. Stealth and diversion are your only weapons against those trying to capture and silence you.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is the latest entry into the Borderlands franchise that's on Linux, and even with the studio behind it being closed, a big patch has still surfaced.

GOG have now made Blood: One Unit Whole Blood Linux compatible on their store using DOSBox. It's an old sadistic FPS, and I took a quick look.

Cyberia 2: Resurrection is another classic game added to our collections thanks to GOG and DOSBox. I've tested it, and it's interesting.

Madspace: To Hell and Beyond is a rather obscure late 90s sci-fi FPS/Space combat game. Thanks to Night Dive Studios this rather unique game has been re-released and is now available on Steam.

Some time ago we reported of this game getting released. At first I was a bit skeptical of Spirits of Xanadu but after watching a couple of minutes of gameplay I decided to pick it up. Here are my thoughts of the game now that I've played it through.

Storm United is the first real game out there to use Unreal Engine 4 on Linux, and it's really stealing my heart already.

The Arma developers have confirmed that an external team is working on the Linux version, and that it won’t be native.

The squad-based World War I multiplayer FPS Verdun is finally out of Early Access after around a year and a half of development. The game launched with a brand new map and a roadmap for future content.

A few days ago we notified you about signs of Arma 3 coming to Linux, and now it looks even more likely.

Storm United is the FPS that is quickly stealing my heart, and the game has been updated with some useful features.

The Shadow Warrior release for Linux did miss out a few graphical features, but the developers have now implemented them all.
