As much as I admire Mojang I still can't help but feel let down on Scrolls. They initially sent out tweets to confirm it would get a Linux version, but it's still not here. We find out more.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown looks like it has entered testing for Linux thanks to some updates we spotted earlier.

We have mentioned KeeperRL here a few times now for not only being an interesting game, but because it needs a big push on Indiegogo too.

Door Kickers is one of my favourite indie games and what makes it better is when a modder puts The Simpsons house in it.

Drawing inspiration from both legendary tactical turn-based games and classic heist movies alike, the goal of The Masterplan is to put together the right crew, get the right equipment, and finally plan and execute the biggest heist ever.

Planet Stronghold is a sci-fi role-playing game with a turn-based combat system. It's not a new game for Linux and has been around for a while now.

The Natural Selection 2 team has announced the Kodiac update & DLC release further refining the already beautiful game. The patch fixes many issues and introduces a new DLC map with customization options.

KeeperRL is an open source dungeon simulator game inspired by Dungeon Keeper and Dwarf Fortress. It gets better all the time and this update is no different. It also needs a little push on its crowdfunding campaign to make it even better.

From out of nowhere strikes another port in progress. Some of you may remember Cortex Command from a humble bundle a few years back.

It's not often I see a trailer for a game especially on Kickstarter and just think "wow I really want to back this project". The Universim has done this to me.

Don't let the cartoon visuals fool you. Being a RGB Agent requires some good skills. A rather fun looking game now has a Linux version!

Pixel Piracy is a game we have been following for some-time now, we first posted about it back in July of last year the day before my birthday in fact! It's changed a lot since then and is simply fantastic. We also have keys to give-away!

Planetary Annihilation is the crazy real time strategy game about planetary conquest on a massive scale. The game is thankfully native on Linux and has a new update to show off, it's all very social.

It seems like we are getting quite a few old gems nowadays, although this is most likely using Dosbox it's still nice to be able to have sales for it counted for Linux.

Starsector previously known as Starfarer is a game I have been following since early 2011 and I am glad to say it's still being fully worked on. Starsector is an open-world single-player space-combat, roleplaying, exploration and economic game.

As promised by our editor Cheeseness the current guys in charge of Nuclear Dawn have released version 7.1 which brings Linux out of beta and with it the ability to play with Mac and Windows users now too.

Infectonator Survivors is a Randomized Permadeath Survival Simulator that combines RTS, Tower Defence, Roguelike, and Management-Simulation gameplay. Currently in Steam's Early Access and it caught my eye, luckily the developers told me they have plans for Linux.

A joyful, casual puzzle game that will tease both your wits and your memory! Well that's what the developers claim anyway.

I have been chatting to the developers of The Last Federation for some-time now and have been able to play it before the release. I took a video and wrote down some thoughts on it.
