Paradigm, probably the strangest game I've ever played is now on Linux

The game's full of Central/Eastern Europe jokes as well :) For example "DUPA" means "ASS" in Polish :)

The Linux version is a bit bugged (mostly visuals, nothing gameplay-breaking) but it's still my favorite zombie game - and I don't even like zombie games! Grab it while it's hot :)

Quoting: wojtek88Sorry for being ignorant, but I felt I must ask:
Why is this information worth writing article about?
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to criticize here, I just want to understand, because honestly this information seems to have no value at all.
There's no such thing as an information without value :)

But yes, it's not much different from, let's say, an information that Steam got packaged for yet another distro ;)

Insurgency: Sandstorm looks absolutely stunning, still planned to release on Linux

Insurgency is a must-buy for every Linux gamer :)

SteamOS has another new beta with a newer Kernel and updated Mesa

It's really weird, seeing popular media outlets reporting Steam Machines ending up an enormous fiasco but also reading all those news of new Mesa developers continously being hired by Valve. And then Valve focusing on VR. Not sure what to think about it.

If nothing else, perhaps at some point all modern Radeon products will finally be a viable choice on Linux ;)

El Presidente Returns! Tropico 6 announced and Linux will be supported

Quoting: lucifertdark(...) Would I be missing a lot with only the base game of Tropico 5?
I played only the base game without DLCs, completed the campaign and it was really fun. DLCs are purely optional.

QuoteThis time around, Limbic Entertainment will be developing the game, who previously worked on a Might & Magic title.
It's actually a HoMM game, the title confusion comes from the Ubisoft manipulating with the title ;)

Parsec is another game streaming service, now with Linux support and it's blown me away

Quoting: hardpenguinI still hope for a service like OnLive, where I wouldn't even know if the games are being ran on Windows or any kind of console.


Yeah this is more what I'd like to see. I get that this won't work for everything due to latency, but it could work for a lot of things, especially for trying out games. I'd like to see a service where you can essentially rent out an instance of a game running on whatever hardware/OS and pay by the month, day or hour to stream it to a Linux box.

I've been contemplating looking at getting Playstation Now running in Wine once it supports PS4 games later this year instead of buying a PS4 and games, but I don't like that it only lets you pay by the month. Due to my limited time for games, I'd much prefer hourly or daily pricing.
Fun fact: Sony bought assets, patents and employees of two companies serving the best cloud gaming services: Gaikai and OnLive. Playstation Now was very likely built upon these. What a waste...
