GOG have done it again folks, Prehistorik 1 & 2 which are both games from my childhood have been published on GOG and both support Linux.

We have another four classic games that have gained Linux support thanks to GOG.com, our collection seems to be growing nicely with them!

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.

If you’re a fan of 4X strategy games, then you will have probably heard of Master of Orion. Honestly, Master of Orion 2 is one of my all time favourite games, and now I can play it without any messing around on Linux.

TowerFall Ascension has been given the gift of DLC and DRM free treatment on GOG.com. The Dark World Expansion pushes TowerFall further in every direction, a great excuse to revisit the beloved indie fighter.

GOG have now added two classic Star Trek games to their collection with Star Trek 25th Anniversary and Star Trek Judgement Rites.

More GOG news today folks! Fantasy General is new to GOG and comes with a Linux version, so for the fans of classic games here's another to check out.

The highly anticipated GOG Galaxy client has arrived for Windows & Mac in beta form, but sadly not for Linux yet. They do mention we will get it "eventually" though.

GOG are adding more Linux games to their collections, and this time we have been graced with Star Wars: Rebel Assault 1 + 2.

For the Star Wars fans who missed it, Star Wars: Tie Fighter Special Edition & Star Wars X-Wing Special Edition are available DRM free on GOG for Linux.

Star Ruler 2 is a space strategy game I’ve been meaning to cover for some time, and I’ve given it a good go to tell you what I think. It’s interesting, but not quite my cup.

The people over at GoG have started a new campaign where you have the chance to reclaim some of your old (Windows) games. Now at first this may not sound too useful for us Linux gamers, but let's be honest, not all old Windows games will ever come to Linux so Wine is often the only solution if you want to play them.

The dated (but still good) simulation game is now available DRM free from GOG. The Linux version only appeared on Steam in December, so GOG are only 4 months later on this one.

Pillars of Eternity is the brand new RPG from Obsidian Entertainment and Paradox Interactive. It’s expensive compared to a lot of our games, so here’s our look at it.

The two holiday special minisodes were made available for Linux last month and provide some more background for the protagonists, doctors Rosalene and Watts. Translation support was added last week, and the developers are looking for Linux testers.

GOG has uncovered their third wave of Lucasfilm classics to be added to the DRM free store, and of the six games, three are available for Linux. Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders is now available through digital distribution for the first time, while The Dig and LOOM have their commercial Linux début.

Since earlier yesterday and till next Friday a new Insomnia Promo is taking place at GOG.com, the first one since this store started supporting Linux.

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty is a revamp of one of the platformers I used to love, so how is it on Linux? Hint: It's good.

One downside of GOG is the smaller library of games, and it looks like they are trying to make it easier for indie developers to get in touch about it.
