It likely doesn't come to you as a surprise that I am going to be playing XCOM 2 on the Friday Livestream. It's the biggest game that has released during the past week and as such deserves a place on the livestream. So, let's destroy some aliens!

You have seen Liam's port report of XCOM 2 on Nvidia hardware and it's time for me to take a look at the AMD performance. So, let's take the R7 370 on a spin with both the open and the proprietary drivers!

Two former key developers of PlayStation hits like Tearaway, LittleBigPlanet and Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction have teamed up to develop a co-op action adventure inspired by Earthbound and Secret of Mana, and are seeking funding on Kickstarter.

Arcen Games, makers of AI War and The Last Federation, have put out their latest game in a surprise release last week. In a deviation from their usual formula, they've chosen a more action-filled approach while still keeping some of their usual elements. I took a look to see if it's any good.

A shame when games get delayed, especially games like Mighty No. 9 that a lot of people are hoping turns out good. I would rather they delayed it, and delayed it some more until it's a polished experience.

Fans of challenging platformers with the trendy roguelite appellation might be interested to know that there's something new that they can sink their teeth into. Vagante promises countless hours of procedurally generated fun alone or with friends.

Fans of the beautiful game might be happy to know that we've had our first football (soccer for you Yanks out there) game available on Linux for a few months now. Well, first one that's more about the matches than the management side of things. Kopanito is a diverse and fast-paced game that looks pretty fun.

It appears that game releases are starting to line up properly once again and the Friday Livestream has some new releases to fuel this beast of a livestream and its hungry penguins. So do come and join us as we take on the obstacles the game devs place before us and fail horribly! Discussion of random topics is also included.

A developer of Squad mentioned again that they want to do a Linux version, but it's not a priority. The developer asked people to comment on his reddit post in they want Linux support.

Undertale, a very popular 2D indie RPG looks like it's coming to Linux. It has 'Overwhelmingly Positive' reviews overall on Steam, so that's something.

I've put millions of hours into Master of Orion 2, so to hear about a brand new Master of Orion was quite exciting. I've been following it for a while, and it looks like it might get a Linux release.

xoreos is a FLOSS project aiming to reimplement BioWare's Aurora engine (and derivatives), covering their games starting with Neverwinter Nights and potentially up to Dragon Age II. This post gives a short update on the current progress.

It's time for our weekly livestream once again and luckily this time around we have a couple of new games to play! So, let's have fun with these recent releases on the traditional Friday Livestream of Linux games and random discussion!

SpeedRunners, a competitive action-platform runner which was originally going to be out for Linux before Christmas has been delayed. It now has no ETA.

As the time to release gets closer, more details about XCOM 2 are starting to arrive. I am excited, but I hope they don't mess it up.

Windlands looks like one of the more unique indie games I've seen recently, and the idea of bouncing around with a grappling hook sounds fun.
