Unbeatable from developer D-Cell Games is an upcoming rhythm-adventure where music summons dangerous monsters and it looks really quite sweet.

osu!, going under the current development name of osu!lazer is a very popular free rhythm game and they're now doing official builds for Linux gamers.

Stretch your fingers and get ready for a workout, as a new rhythm game is in town named Project Heartbeat.

What was originally supposed to launch last month, the Steam Soundtrack Sale is now live as Valve celebrate the new feature of the Steam store and client dedicated to Soundtracks.

Valve have announced that they're going to be giving Soundtracks their own special section on Steam instead of them being a generic DLC listing.

I spoke to the developer of the first-person adventure game The Norwood Suite about their plans for Linux.

For those who love their music, you might want to take a look at Clone Hero (they're working on a better name) which aims to be a cross-platform clone of Guitar Hero.

Last month, ERSATZ, the speed focused hardcore action-platformer with a musical twist added Linux support and since I love a good beat I gave it a go. Here's some thoughts.

There is a huge 90% discount for a double package featuring both 'Frederic' rhythm games until September 26th. Right now, if you buy the games separately, they would cost you USD 10.98 in total, but with this deal you'll only pay USD 0.89 for both.

Auto-Staccato is a new action rhythm game coming to Linux and it's trying to get on Steam. Think of Audiosurf with swords and magics, it looks amusing.

Doing my usual perusing through changelogs, game updates and so on I come across new ports. This time Wailing Heights caught my interest. A body-hopping, musical adventure game, set in a horrific hamlet of monsters.

The game, featuring an unlikely combination of gameplay elements, was a surprise release. We have Ethan Lee and FNA to thank for the port and we can expect to see more of his ports in the near future.

Audiosurf 2 is the sequel to the smash hit music game Audiosurf, and as the name suggests you do literally surf the music. The sequel is available day-1 on Linux thanks to having a build during the Early Access time.

Crypt of the NecroDancer was a bloody good idea for a game, and it is executed well. The game has now left Early Access.

Crypt of the NecroDancer is really awesome, and it's going to exit early access this month. If you love your music it's a fantastic game.

Ride your music. Use your own music to create your own experience on a roller-coaster-like track. The shape, the speed, and the mood of each ride is determined by the song you choose. We take a look at the new Linux release.

Sentris is a new kind of music game that puts you at the epicenter of musical creation. It's colourful and filled with great music, so what more could you want?

Micron has been out for Linux for a little while, but it hasn't seemed to gain a big following. Hopefully this new and updated Steam release will fix that.

The excellent and frustrating Crypt of the Necrodancer comes to Steam Early Access on the 30th of July, and comes complete with a Linux version.

The developers of DubWars noted last month that in the next update a Linux version is on the table. We love games that mix music into the gameplay and DubWars could be a winner.
