Opinions at the moment of writing the articles were mine, though in some cases contents were edited or critical information was added by GOL Editors before approval.
Definitely for today, Double Fine will get a lot of attention, because, aside from releasing the Linux port of the remastered version of Day of the Tentacle, they're offering a 52% discount for the whole Double Fine Bundle on Steam.
It's definitely great — and not that usual — when developers are prudent enough to conceive their games from the ground to be multi-platform. That appears to be the case with the developer of the small studio Cold Beam Games.
The Every Game from Choice of Games bundle is currently with a 25% discount because of the Steam Summer Sale. It includes 30 stories and a couple of DLCs for some of them.
SWARMRIDERS is a FREE "endless runner"+"twin stick shooter" ARCADE mashup. A "machine gun swarm surfing minigame" made as a bonus content for the UBERMOSH community.
Lock and Load! It's time to Kick Ass. Grab your machine-gun, flamethrower, rocket launcher and grenades. Assault the enemy base and free commandos to join your team while you destroy everything in sight.
