Ah, zombies. There can never be enough of them, right? Well, getting stranded on an island infested with the things after a storm nearly sinks your ship and drowns you might sound like a perfect vacation to you then.

Many games focus on smaller details, rather limited worlds and single important characters but sometimes you just need to kick back and assume a role of a god to whom the whole world is just a playground.

Livestreaming is seriously a lot of fun and it's something I've wanted to do for a long time. Thanks to projects like FFmpeg and Libav you can also do that on Linux with relative ease, but little under a year ago I started my own project to make it even easier.

Some say that games are a form of art, which is easily believable when you take a look at the graphical style of games these days. This is true especially with many platformers which contain hand-drawn environments and characters, Teslagrad being one of them.

I really like The Elder Scrolls games and I own nearly every one of them (except Morrowind, gotta get that someday) and I was really happy to see something similar pop up on Steam for Linux. So, let's take see what this game is all about!

You know what happens in science fiction movies and books where people try to colonize distant unknown planets? Something obviously goes horribly wrong and the colonists are left to wait for rescue. That's why we are here!

You've probably seen a bunch of articles related to this tactical FPS/RTS game running on the Source engine. Before buying it I had compared the screenshots and gameplay ideas to Natural Selection 2 and thought about skipping it. But thanks to Steam's Autumn Sale I decided to pick it up anyways, which turned out to be a good decision after all.

I have played some roguelikes, including Nethack, Dungeons of Dredmor and Ancient Domains of Mystery, but I have kept my distance from these new FPS/Roguelike combos, that we have seen getting released over the past year. I have to say, if the other games are as good as Eldritch, I have no reason to avoid them anymore.

So, we are on a quest to get enough money to buy a candle to explore the nearby caves and to do that, we must fight through an army of skeletons, goo balls and bats? This will obviously be a great journey!

I wasn't sure if you had had enough of Metro: Last Light yet, so I quickly made a GOL Cast of it to show you the incredible world of post-apocalyptic Moscow. I also decided to shoot some mutants with a shotgun while I was at it, though the situation got pretty hairy.

Inverto (previously Gravitron) is a first person shooter puzzle game from GravityBox Studio, where you must navigate through a series of testing areas. The doors, floors and platforms in these areas might not be in the most logical places however, and you must use your GraviGun to manipulate the gravity in order to reach different places.

We've seen a huge influx of platformers, some in 2.5D and some with pixelated 8-bit style, so it's obvious that some of us have already gotten tired of them and actively prefer other genres over platformers, me included. But Glare was something that I actually like for multiple reasons.

I haven't played Thief and sneaking in shadows is not one of my greatest strenghts, but it's always nice to pretend being a master thief and acquire tons of virtual loot (and slam few computer-controlled guards in the head with a blackjack in the process).

You all probably know this game already by now and if you don't then you most certainly should! Still, I think it's GOL Cast worthy because 0 A.D. truly shows how good an open source game can be and I wanted to remind you about their IndieGoGo fundraiser.

Reloading in modern shooters was way too easy anyways, anyone can simply press R and wait a bit, so let's take it up a notch and simulate realistic gun mechanics! Oh, my magazine is empty... what do I do now?

Guess what, we have another puzzle game for you to try out! So, let's start our journey into Kairo (with a K) and see what this weird and abstract world has in store for us!

I saw that this game had a HUGE discount on Steam and decided to show some footage about it in case you were wondering whether to buy it or not. Queue the low gravity environments and let's start jumping!

Gaming, game capturing and video editing, does that sound like Linux to you? Few years ago most of us most likely would have said "no", but I am here to show you the current situation and prove that old fact wrong! Step into my lair of Linux gaming videos!

I managed to get myself a nice early access pass to the new Amnesia game and have been allowed to video it for you, thanks to Simple Screen Recorder I have a setup that now works! Warning: Do not view it if you don't want the first few minutes spoilt, but it's not very long to not spoil much.

Sometimes explosions and loud guns just aren't then thing you are looking for. And when that happens, you can rely on relaxing music, simple gameplay and chemistry!
