I'd buy one in a heartbeat, but to use the now classic line - no tux, no bucks. We recently got a unit delivered to my work and I have to say - videos and articles on Vive do it no justice at all. It's an absolutely stunning, utterly game-changing experience. Breathtaking. Gobsmacking.

No, it won't instantly make every game amazing - I can't imagine playing any of my favourite FPS titles on a Vive, for example, but for the customised experiences tailored to take advantage of its capabilities, it's an unbelievable, almost surreal futuristic experience.

Replaying (from start) the newly released HD update to Defender's Quest. Awesome tower defence. Loved it first time around, but it's just beautiful to play now.

Well, from the Steam store page:

QuoteNow on Linux & SteamOS!
We are happy to announce that Dead Island Definitive Edition and Dead Island: Riptide Definitive Edition now support Linux & SteamOS!

Plus, it still has the Linux logo, so claiming to sell something with no support, after boldly announcing support is outright fraud. They're taking the piss. One to avoid.

Looks a wee bit like the excellent Sproggiwood. I'll be wishlisting this.

Love the look of this, but I'm not a fan of the whole "battle your own designs" idea. I didn't like it in Reassembly at least, which aced the idea by also pitting you against other people's designs too. I just want to build my ships and empire and keep expanding - not starting over each time you finish a mission.

Still, it's EA, so maybe it'll evolve over time. I'll wishlist it and check it out on release.

Wow, I'd forgotten all about this! I wrote about it in Funding Crowd back in mid-2014 and I see that Flesk covered it last year too.

Looks great and it's superb that they're still pushing Linux support. Sticking onto the Wishlist right now.

Worth looking at Terasology too, although I haven't tried it myself.

Looks like Deadcore, but in a quake-style universe with added heavy metal music. Could be tempted...

Looking forward to this - I tried a similar looking game, SpaceTruckers, or something like that? But being unable to control your ship and the annoyingly narrow range of fire on your turrets meant that it quickly became a tedious "memorise the waves" tower defence.

This looks similar, kitting out your ship with various turrets for offence and defence... but you get to control the route your ship takes into the battle - magic.

Yeah, pretty hyped for this.

Quoting: Mountain Man

Quoting: neowiz73just picked up Stellaris Nova Edition from the Games Republic store, plus I got the Anomoly Warzone Earth for free as well. that's a pretty good deal :)

Except the Anomaly games don't seem to work in Linux, and the developer apparently can't be bothered to fix them.

I was playing Anomaly Korea a couple of months ago and it was fine. I also completed the first Anomaly game on Linux. What's broken? Is it a recent thing?
