Pillars Of Eternity: The White March Part I Gets A Release Date
7 August 2015 at 9:20 am UTC

Haven't finished this game yet, shortly after I started it they released an incompatible update with the older savegames and I didn't want to start over. I'll start it when 2.0 lands and of course that expansion is a must buy.

DiRT Showdown Tested On Linux, Preview Port Report
3 August 2015 at 7:53 pm UTC

Well this is kind of surprising, I'm referring to the 560ti card here which is an old model. Considering it's a wrapper and runs at almost 60fps on high details is pretty good as this doesn't dishearten the budget GPU owners.

My only VP Game atm is Witcher 2 which already runs pretty well in Linux. But if they can improve even better? This could be a very good solution for old titles. Though I'll always prefer a native port, whenever possible.

DiRT Showdown Confirmed For Linux By Virtual Programming, Pre-orders Open Up

I find wrappers fine for old games as I understand devs may not want to spend a lot of money, and If I'm not mistaken Showdown wasn't the most well received DiRT game in the series.

Personally I won't buy this since it's DRM'ed but I'm still thankful to Codemasters for doing it. VP has indeed came a long way since Witcher 2.

I hope CDPR will not resort to VP for Witcher 3 on Linux though, Feral and Aspyr do a very good job and it's them who should be doing it if CDPR lacks the manpower / experience for it.

Excellent work Feral :-)

Happy Birthday Liam and thanks for the review. I hope Witcher 3 goes along this path rather than a quick wrapper job.

Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic II Released For Linux, With Preview Port Report

Since both Kotor games are also on GOG I hope they add the Linux port there too. For the record I was never a Star Wars fan (don't hate me) but I would buy this just because it has a native port now.

It's good too see such a friendly and open developer, hopefully they will bring this game to GOG and get some more sales, I would very much welcome another Linux game in my library.
