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.

The latest instalment in the baseball simulation franchise Out of the Park Baseball was released earlier in the week. It's the first in the franchise to have officially licensed brands and teams, going back over a hundred years of historical seasons, so baseball fans will be able to enjoy playing around with their favourite Major League Baseball teams.

X Rebirth had a very bad start, but it seems to be getting better with each major patch. The major news is that the first Linux version has been released.

Last week saw the release of The Mims: Beginning, a god game with strategy elements, on Steam. It's an early access title that's been in development for a while and was successfully funded by an Indiegogo campaign.

Egosoft have been detailing their porting X Rebirth to Linux with a series of forum posts. It's good to see them be open about it, and we look forward to testing it out.

Want to become the head of a Pharmaceutical Conglomerate? Well, your wish may be granted! We spoke to the developer who had encouraging words.

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.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Prison Architect, where a new one-week's worth of work (pun from video above) is applied! I noticed there hadn't been an article about PA since Alpha 25, so there's been three alphas between the last post!

CorsixTH is one of my all time favourite open source projects, so I hope it lives a long healthy life. They have just released version 0.40 which includes some exciting new features to make it more complete.

Kerbal Space Program has been updated again with a huge update, and brings it into the "beta" phase of development. They will now start to implement the final major components to career mode.

The full game will be available as an offline DRM free version next summer, but the developer, Maschinen-Mensch, has released an alpha to gather player feedback to help balance procedural aspects of the game.

Looking through Steam’s holiday auction today, I noticed something which excited me and perplexed me at the same time: Airline Tycoon has been ported to Linux and somehow I didn’t notice that one of my favourite business sims of all time had been released now for over a week.

If you are one of those people who don't mind spending some money on silly but fun games; you can't miss "I am Bread", the #1 software on bread simulation!

Maia is a space colony sim with some lovely graphics, but lacking a little in content. Thankfully development is healthy, and a new version has been pushed out with tons of changes!

The city builder Stonehearth which reached their Linux stretch goal back in the Kickstarter campaign is closing in on the ports both to Mac and Linux, which will evidently happen at the same time.

Ensign-1 was a promising looking space shooting sim from Only Human Studios which we covered a lot "back in the day", but the developer seemingly gave up on it. That doesn't seem to be the case now, and I can't wait to see what happens.

Kerbal Space Program has always been about building things. It has always been about those things exploding. Now - as part of the 0.25 update - it's about buildings exploding. (And plenty more besides.)

As many of you may know the new game by Colossal Order (creators of Cities in Motion) called Cities: Skylines will have a Linux version, and it like its predecessors will be another city building game.

Banished is a city-builder from Shining Rock Software LLC that was praised rather a lot when it came out, and the developer noted they planned a Linux version. We caught up with the developer to see when.

We only introduced you to Hearthlands a few days ago, but it already has a whopper of an update release to make it even more interesting. Hearthlands is a game much like Settlers, Majesty and Pharaoh.
