Unvanquished sure is one of the prettiest open source games around isn't it? Like clockwork they have released a new alpha with a bucket-load of changes.

Working on these GOL Casts has allowed me to take a look at various games with different genres. Today we can add a new type of a game to the list as we check out this strategy game, which is originally based on a board game, called Hive.

Nuclear Throne the excellent 2D procedural death labyrinth that becomes quite the bullet hell has been updated with alpha #29 with more weapons!

Prison Architect is undeniably one of the most unique games we have on Linux, not many other games have ever come out that see you manage a prison of all things.

Pandora: First Contact is a science fiction 4X turn-based strategy game on a planetary scale. It is now on Steam & has a huge free contact update. I recently took a look at it with some thoughts and a video as well.

Anomaly Defenders is now out for Linux and continues the struggle from the previous Anomaly games, only this time you are attacking the aliens! There's a good deal going on it too.

Spacebase DF-9 already looks like a great game and now alpha 5 is available for Linux too! The developers note that it's their biggest update yet to their space station building game.

Earlier this month we pointed out that Warlock 2 a good looking strategy game may come to Linux, the developers also sent us a funny message on it.

Bionic Dues is the pretty fun 2D mech combat game from Arcen Games that was previously Steam-only for us Linux gamers. Luckily now you can get it on Humble Store too!

Track the Bad Guys, be brutal and smart in your planning, and eliminate them one by one. But bear this in mind: each criminal’s death has to look like an accident. In each level, you’ll have the chance to splatter and destroy the Bad Guy using various weapons and traps.

Factorio is the great simulation game that mixes a few different genre's for excellent results and you only have a few days left before the price goes up.

Today we not only bring you the fantastic news that is XCOM, but also actual confirmation now of Stronghold 3 Gold coming to Linux.

FINALLY. XCOM: Enemy Unknown for Linux has been officially announced on Feral Interactive's official website. This is something we have been telling you about for quite some time now.

The Last Federation is the rather good mix of space combat and strategy simulation on Steam from the guys the made AI War & Bionic Dues. The developers have announced an expansion and even noted some details about their sales.

One you may have missed on the masses of titles greenlit recently is Submerge as multiplayer RTS game set underwater and it's bloody beautiful.

A bit of a sore spot for me personally, but there is light at the end of the tunnel! Scrolls is the rather good card battle game created by Mojang (creators of Minecraft).

Planetary Annihilation was already awesome for the sheer scale of the game and the fact that it's on Linux means we finally have a big RTS game. The developers have just released a brand new build containing a single-player mode called "Galactic War".

OpenXcom is still one of my favourite open source engines ever. The original X-COM game UFO: Enemy Unknown/X-COM UFO Defense is one of the best strategy games ever made. The incredible open source engine is finally approaching a 1.0 release.

Eador. Masters of the Broken World is sadly still a sore spot for Linux gamers, after the developers blogging saying Linux is important to them thanks to Valve, and stating on their greenlight page Linux is a platform we still don't have one yet.

Flagship is a real-time strategy game set on a galactic scale, played from a first person perspective. Command your fleet from the bridge of your ship, explore the stars and expand your territory.
