Quoting: skinnyraf
Quoting: BeamboomThis game fetched a rock solid metascore of 85% with the (real) reviewers saying this gamer corrects the wrongs of the first game (especially the abysmal boss fights).

You mean the wrongs of the second game, don't you? :) [...]
You mean the third game, don't you? :P

I will definitely be picking this up when it arrives for Linux! I loved Human Revolution and its DLC The Missing Link (both play near-perfectly in Wine) so I'm very much looking forward to continuing the story.

EVERSPACE, the amazing looking space shooter should be on Linux before the end of September

Ooh, and they even got 90's era not-Rob-Zombie to cooperate on the music! ;)

Jokes aside this looks like it could be a lot of fun. Most of the space shooters we currently have on Linux tend to get dull very quickly (not you, Freespace, you're a beaut), so I'll be happy to have another one.

Having a name that sounds so close to something else and tweeting pictures of a spaceship really helps put that post in a very joyous light :P

My second reaction is that it is very, very cool. I'm really liking the direction Unity is heading!

Rogue Stormers from the Giana Sisters developers is now on Linux, an action heavy platformer

Quoting: bingusI backed Gianna sisters as well, but I was still using Windows at the time. I thought they gave no guarantees on Linux support..?
They gave no guarantees for the Kickstarter campaign, but they promised Linux support when they later released Giana Sisters in a Humble Bundle. Personally, I backed the Kickstarter hoping it would come to Linux eventually and because I have fond memories of the original C64/Amiga game.

Quoting: rea987Thanks for reminding that the developer has never delivered the promised GNU/Linux port of Giana Sisters. As long as they won't keep their promises, I won't get their products. Thank you.
I'm a bit torn on this. On one hand, I was one of the Kickstarter backers for Giana Sisters, so the Linux port is quite dear to me and its delay really gets to me, on the other hand, having the developer see sales on Linux for their first Linux game might actually speed along the port of Giana Sisters.

BUTCHER, a blood-soaked love letter to the early 90s announced with Linux support

Wasn't there a browser version of this previously? In any case, I absolutely love the Quake-styled pixel art, the mood and the mayhem; I'm definitely picking this up when it arrives :D

Looks like Subnautica from the Natural Selection 2 developers won't get Linux support

Well, I hope they do get back to getting it running on Linux at some point as it really does look like a game I would like to throw some money and time at.

This Is the Police released for Linux, some thoughts on this intriguing strategy and adventure game

Going by that music, there better be a Predator hiding somewhere in the game! ;)

("Out There, In The Trees", yup, that's a reference alright - great album by the way, highly recommended)

Ah, great to see that it's in good hands and being worked on. I was just today reading about part 2 for Wii U, so it doesn't come as a surprise, but the updates to part 1 sure do! Thanks for your work, Cheeseness :)
