Verde Station is a strange game. It lets you wander through a space station. You're all on your own for a full year and just need to keep the station running. You can think of it as a sort of a solitude simulator.

I finally decided what graphics card to upgrade with, and my choice was the Palit GeForce GTX970 Jetstream 4GB, and wow what a card performance wise.

Sky Gamblers: Storm Raiders is a reasonable looking air combat sim that has recently released for Linux, so we decided to take a look and see how many times we get fragged.

Warhammer Quest is a new mix of strategy and RPG action based on the tabletop board-game. It comes with Linux support, but sadly the reception so far isn't the best.

What a lovely day. I just feel like shooting some idiot in the head. No, thats never how I start my day. But I think the developer of this week's game had "one of those days".

iO is one of the more interesting platformers I've been sent recently for the interesting growing and shrinking mechanics, and it's not as simple as it looks.

Reassembly has just released the Linux version of their spaceship building and exploration game. We have tested it out and found it to be one of the most fun 2D space games around.

In TinyKeep players will embrace the role of a hopeless prisoner held deep in a forgotten dungeon who one day wakes up to find themselves mysteriously released.

Reckpunk may not look like much graphically, but looks are often deceiving. Reckpunk is one such title as it's a platform where you control the level elements rather than the character for interesting results.

For those that have read us for some time you will probably know I am a big space sci-fi fan, so J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars ticks literally every single box for me. Here's my thoughts on the soon to be released Linux version.

Hearthlands is my latest little discovery and even though it's in the early stages it looks really promising. Hearthlands plays out much like the Majesty & Settlers strategy games that puts the focus on buildings, resources, heroes and other things a King needs to watch over, so you don't control your units directly.

Tropico 5 has finally been officially release for Linux, so it's time to become a dictator and see how it runs on Linux.

Cannon Brawl has just been released for Linux and quite rightfully deserves a write up, as it's really quite fun.

SPACECOM is a very interesting minimalistic strategy game from Flow Combine I've had a chance to play a bit of, and I like it.

Argentine game developer Saibot Studios has released the the third chapter of Doorways on Steam and Desura, with Linux support from the go. The game is a continuation of Doorways 1 & 2, which is also available for Linux.

Untold Universe is a space voxel sandbox MMORPG. Explore, shape, colonize and conquer a huge and uncharted universe! It sounds interesting, but is it worth a look?

Ziggurat is a great looking mix of hectic FPS fighting and dungeon crawling, but it has been released with some major issues.

Spellcrafter is a new and quite interesting game that mixes turn based combat with a few RPG mechanics and spell casting.

Orbital Gear is a very fast paced online action game that involves mech units and gravity. It's on Steam right right now and it's not an Early Access game, hooray!

Black The Fall seems to have suffered the same problem a few games do when they add a Linux version to an existing game on Steam, and that's zero exposure. So, it was one even we managed to miss.
