So catching up on all the news while I didn't actually have stable internet, it seems Steam has a bunch of new Linux games for you to sink your teeth into!

Creative Assembly have said to PCGamesN that a port of Total War: Rome II to Linux to support SteamOS gives them no worries.

You may have seen on our twitter a while ago we retweeted a post from Interwave about Nuclear Dawn on Linux!

The developer of Void Of Darkness let us know that the game is now available on Desura for Linux and it's currently in Alpha with a full release expected later this year. The game itself is a 2D space exploration game with combat, trading and a ship-load more.

You all probably know this game already by now and if you don't then you most certainly should! Still, I think it's GOL Cast worthy because 0 A.D. truly shows how good an open source game can be and I wanted to remind you about their IndieGoGo fundraiser.

Unvanquished is a fast-paced, futuristic FPS with RTS elements, pitting technologically advanced humans against hordes of highly adaptable aliens. The player can choose from either team, providing a fresh gameplay experience on both sides of the conflict.

Bionic Dues has players guiding multiple classes of Exos through a variety of missions filled with enemy robots that are as buggy as they are angry.

Alpha 14 is launched! Guard dogs, massive performance optimisations, and the ability to sell your prison!

The developers of Reus took to their blog to chat a little about Linux, thankfully it should be out soon!

Finally the developers of Game Dev Tycoon have sorted out their issues with the FSF and gotten the Linux build onto Steam, with this comes an up to date Linux version.

Arma Tactics is a turn-based close-combat strategy game, where you take control of a four-member Special Forces team. There are no given strategies, rails to move on, or paths to follow; it‘s up to you to decide how you will play through both the story-driven missions and generated missions with randomized objectives.

Linux fans have demanded it, so indie studio Paper Machete Games has brought their mad science themed real time strategy game to the Linux platform.

This is very exciting especially for any RTS fan as Planetary Annihilation has entered beta which unlocks more features and lowers the price.

A new major bugfix update to Achron has been released to fix a lot of bugs and a few minor new features. Glad to see this games continues to be supported.

Steam Squad is a turn-based war-game for PC, Mac and Linux. It takes place in an alternate universe during World War I.

Natural Selection 2 has gotten two updates recently 256 and 257 to give you lots of big fixes with a few new features thrown in for good measure too.

OpenRA the Open Source Time Strategy game engine that recreates the early Command & Conquer titles released another huge jump, with over 1,100 changes and improvements by 17 authors.

A highly regarded tower defence game Pixeljunk Monsters Ultimate will come to Linux on the 30th of September the developers tweeted to let us know.

Remember Pixel Piracy? The fun looking Side-scrolling 2d, Real Time Strategy, Sandbox, Simulation Game we showed you? It's been getting some fun updates!

It seems Linux is to get a game in the Arma series, not one of their realistic FPS games, but rather a new turn based game called Arma Tactics.
