The only extra you get for pre-ordering is an HD wallpaper of concept art done for the remaster. It does look nice though and made me finally change from my Super Win the Game wallpaper that I've been using since September.

Really looking forward to this one! :) I prefer to have my games both DRM free and on Steam, but since Humble Store isn't an option yet, I might just pre-order it on GOG now and buy an additional copy on Steam on release. I figure with the amount of money I put into games I'm not remotely interested in last year to support Linux gaming, it won't hurt to pay a little extra now that a game I'm genuinely interested in comes along.

I still have my boxed copy too, but I haven't played the game for a while, so I've probably forgotten most of the puzzles. Except the signpost puzzle. I'll never forget that one...

Quoting: fleskThe latest hint on the radar makes me think it's LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, as both the image of a (presumably) iron fist and the phrase "Scorched Earth" are Marvel references.

Problem with that is, the clue is for Linux and OS X and sadly LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is already out for OS X.

Yeah, I didn't realize that until after I'd written that yesterday. :( Could still be that there's upcoming DLC for the game that will be available for both Linux and OS X, but I think chances are slim, since, as far as I know, there hasn't been DLC for any of the previous LEGO games.

Quoting: PublicNuisanceSadly it doesn't appear that any store other than Steam carries the Linux version. It would be nice to have a DRM free version of the Linux edition.

They have submitted the Linux version to Humble Store, according to this post, so it should be available there soon.

Another great free game without any form of micro-transactions is You Have to Win the Game, which is a metroidvania-esque precision platformer without combat.

Quoting: GuestWhere is Battleblock Theater? :C

No one nominated it. I forgot to add a couple too, like Costume Quest 2 and TRI: Of Friendship and Madness.

The blocker at the moment is their video player, from what I've heard. I hope they don't end up waiting for months for third-party middleware to get ported, like the developer of Tesla Effect.

Quoting: GuestHave to admit, my interest is piqued. Apparently has controller support as well. And a demo to try it out is always nice.

Yes, the demo has options for both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 controllers.

Is that bad?

I loved Geminie Rue and am just busy playing the first three Blackwell parts.
Looking forward for a new SF game from Wadjet Eye.

There was some discussion about it in the comments on this article too. Personally I don't find that any problems the engine might have are enough to detract from the experience of what are some really top-notch games though.
