Two bits of Steam store news today: firstly there's a Steam Game Festival "Spring Edition" going on to highlight some good looking games, a few of which will come to Linux and there's some demos. Plus the Interactive Recommender leaves Steam Labs.

Today, Valve replied to our message asking about the situation with Half-Life: Alyx and Linux support and we got our answer.

No Plan B needed here apparently, as your first idea always works right? You better hope so. No Plan B is a tactical strategy game from GFX47, the creator of the AI combat arena Gladiabots.

Cyanide & Happiness - Freakpocalypse, the crowdfunded dark comedy adventure is now going to have the first part released on Steam this Summer.

Get your space legs ready for X4: Foundations to expand into a much bigger game. Egosoft have now announced the X4: Split Vendetta expansion and a huge free 3.0 update will release on March 31.

Resolutiion from Monolith of Minds has serious style, and I was genuinely very impressed by the special press demo. Now you can too, as Monolith have opened it up for everyone.

The Last Cube from Improx Games is an upcoming 3D puzzle game and while the original trail piqued my interest, seeing actual gameplay has solidified my need to play it.

1C Entertainment and Snowhound Games have announced that Deep Sky Derelicts is getting a Definitive Edition on March 24 that will bundle the DLC and upgrade the base game for everyone.

Vaporum: Lockdown is a prequel to the 3D real-time dungeon crawler Vaporum that was pretty great, and it's now delayed but it's not all bad news.

Paradox Interactive and Paradox Development Studio have today released the Stellaris: Federations expansion along with the free 2.6.0 'Verne' content upate for everyone.

Desert Strike, oh hell yes, that's a game I put tons of hours into on the Sega Mega Drive. Now Pizza Bear Games have taken that same helicopter action and put a wild sci-fi spin on it with Megacopter: Blades of the Goddess.

3dSen, an upcoming Emulator currently in development is now going through some Beta testing. Unlike some other Emulators, it doesn't just support old games, it aims to redefine them.

One of my favourite pixel-art indie games, Rise to Ruins, has now officially passed the 1.5 million dollar net revenue mark showing that indie games can really sell well.

Resolutiion, currently in development by 'two angry German brothers' that make up Monolith of Minds recently had a press demo sent out so I took a look.

Devader is one of my favourites released last year that flew under the radar of most. A twin-stick shooter with action that takes place in a single map, with enemies so varied it will make your head spin.

Slayaway Camp might not be a new game but it's something I only jumped into recently and it's a really great puzzle game.

Ultimate Chicken Horse, an amusing name and a very funny game to play with others locally and online. A big update and sale just went live for this party-platformer where you build the level as you play.
