Among The Sleep, A Horror Game From A Toddlers Perspective Releases May 29th For Linux
27 May 2014 at 2:31 pm UTC

Quoting: FutureSutureStill very much tempted to get this despite not currently possessing any toddlers.

Taking a time out from your evil wrongdoings? Or are you finding the exorcisms too exhausting? :D

It's an interesting game mechanic, I'll keep my eye on this one. I'm finding myself a lot choosier in my game purchases since I've acquired this huge backlog!

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition Released For SteamOS Linux
23 May 2014 at 9:05 am UTC

A steal at £2.99 :D Works great for me on the medium graphical setting (Arch, GTX 660).

I do fing the main character's "Snake Pliskin" vocal style a little odd and out of place though!

Metro 2033 & Metro Last Light Getting Upgrades, Metro 2033 To Release On Linux

I'll probably get METRO 2033 but I'm not buying MLL again until it's heavily reduced on sale (at least 75%). By that time it'll be time to revisit it.

I do get the feeling that they're quite focused on squeezing the customer base for all they can get. It doesn't endear them to me, although I'm still grateful we had MLL as soon as we did (I loved it and paid full price, plus the DLC).

Steam In-Home Streaming Now Open To All, Linux Streaming To Come Soon

I'm looking forward to trying this. We only have Linux machines in our house and I'd like to get the wife into a bit of light gaming on her laptop.

I'll also be getting a low profile Steam machine for the TV.

The Dungeoning Colourful Procedural Death Labyrinth Video & Thoughts

It would make more sense to me also have the option to use the mouse, left - attack, right - shield and move with WASD etc. I like the look of this game too.

BTW, shouldn't that be "pain in the arse"? :P

Twin Robots Is An Absolutely Charming Platformer For Linux

I'm not a great platformer but I do like the look of this one. Thanks for posting Liam.

Sir, You Are Being Hunted FPS Stealth Game Hits The Big Release For Linux

I've been playing on Linux since the first alpha and still loving it. The Linux support has been there from the off. Superb devs who've been active in the forums and taken feedback from the players to tailor the gameplay.

I've not had the "mouse problem" with this game or any other Unity game, which seems odd! I play fullscreen, maxed settings with a GTX660.

This game has tons of re-playability for me, although not for some others. But then I don't actually play it as intended, which is to collect all the fragments and "end game"... I just like surviving in the beautiful randomly procedurally generated world. One of my favourites, without a doubt.

ROCCAT Ryos MK Glow Review

Bah! I'm very jealous and annoyed. I bought a Gigabyte Osmium keyboard. There is zero Linux support for it. And to think I actually thought I'd reviewed the options pretty well (at the time)

Developers Are Unhappy With Steam Having So Many Titles Released So Quickly

I never scroll through the games banner on the store front page and always go the the Linux/SteamOS section. And as has been said already, unless a game is new on all platforms then it does not show up on the first page but is buried deep within somewhere with the date it was originally released on Windows.

As far as I'm personally concerned, a game's best chance of catching my eye is getting an article on this here very site! ;)

Oh, and while I remember, the thing that really annoys me is when the list is spammed with "Crusader Kings II: this, that, the other and a thousand more things!". I guess there's no alternative to that though.
