In January 2017 it will be 4 years since a bug report was opened about Steam not closing to the tray on Linux. On Windows it works perfectly, but on Linux it has been left to gather dust like so many other issues.

If you want to play games in VR on Steam, the list of compatible headsets just got bigger. OSVR is now a supported option.

If you're in the mood for a good-looking 2D RPG with turn-based battles you may want to know that 'The Great Whale Road' is now on Linux.

Tower Unite is an interesting MMO, it's a community-based virtual world full of other games to play online. An interesting concept, sounds a bit like Second Life to me.

Thanks to my contact at Paradox, I have been able to test the new Cities: Skylines - Natural Disasters DLC before release. Here are my thoughts on it.

The enhanced remake of this indie game will be getting a Linux release on launch. Players will be able to explore a mysterious world where their actions have consequences and multiple endings abound.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, the popular FPS from Valve has another update with one rather interesting feature. You can now join game lobbies made by members of Steam groups you belong to.

I think this title has a lot of potential, because after a successful Kickstarter campaign the developers claim they were funded by Nordic Games without sacrificing the creative control of the project, so basically the quality of the game now simply relies on how talented they are and how well they spend the budget on the game.

I am keeping an ever watchful eye over Maia hoping that it eventually gets polished up enough to be something great. This new update sure does sound nice, but sadly the game still lacks a lot of polish.

If you're looking to play an adventure game but you don't have a lot of time, then you may be interested to check "Sisyphus Reborn", a lightweight (300 MB) and short existential adventure that will only take you 40 minutes to finish (and that includes getting all the achievements).

This is really great news! The Station, one of those promising upcoming games I covered recently has not only been Greenlit, but they have hit their Kickstarter funding goal too.

Something that didn't go unnoticed was that Valve has removed the SteamPlay logo from Steam store pages.

Tomb Raider is a pretty good game, performance issues in certain areas aside. It's currently on sale on the Feral Interactive store for peanuts.

I know a few people who will be happy about this! Event[0] is to gain a Linux beta shortly after the developers got the Linux build to run smooth and stable.

Ballistic Overkill, the cheap and fun online FPS has a major update. Included in this update are the first lot of skins to grab for free after matches complete and the progression system to unlock weapons is now in too.

After a bit of an issue with the original non-release, Motorsport Manager is now available on Linux. I've taken a quick look to see what it's like.

Valve have changed the USB/Bluetooth communication the Steam Controller uses, so on Linux you will need to update your udev rules.

Some people in our comments recently were hoping that when Cossacks 3 is released for Linux, that it would see the Linux version on GOG. The good news is that it will.

Personally, I am interested in playing Homefront: The Revolution even if it's not the best FPS ever made. The good news is that it looks like the Linux port is still being worked on.

I am really excited to see more of the psychological horror game ‘Tether’, so I spoke with the Creative Director about what we can expect from it.
