Steam Lights The Green Light For More Linux Games

By - | Views: 15,945
Another batch of titles have been greenlit to be on Steam, we give you the run-down on what ones you can expect to see on Linux.

The list below are all of the titles that specifically listed Linux as a supported platform.

My Stand-Out Game Picks
These two I personally feel look the most interesting.

Murder Miners - A highly rated game originally on Xbox Live Indie Arcade, an FPS game with blocky graphics and game-play inspired by Halo.

Matador - An isometric vehicle action game with some really nice looking graphics.

The Crack - Tower defence and FPS hybrid.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ICkqItwyUUM

Kromaia - A fast paced arcade shooter, looks like it can get pretty insane.

KTBG: Kill The Bad Guy - An odd puzzle game where your objective is to set traps for a bad guy.

The Mims Beginning - A cute looking strategy game where you control a bunch of little "Mims".

Poltergeist: Pixelated Horror - A puzzle game where you play as a ghost trying to scare people.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yusTdMhoUpk

Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball - A fast paced dodgeball game with robots!

Steam Battle - A free 2 play massively multiplayer vehicle warfare game with a steampunk theme.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NGTOV7Tdb1U
This would be in my top picks, but since it is free 2 play I can't tell if it will be a lame pay 2 win game or not. I hope it is not pay 2 win as it looks quite fun.

Sunrider - A freeware anime/manga style visual novel/tactical RPG.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ycm2EMhWYdA

Tech Executive Tycoon - A business management Simulation/Strategy game that puts you in the role of the CEO of a tech company.

The Mims has a playable demo, and I had a lot of fun with it this afternoon. I will certainly buy it once it comes out on Steam; RTS games are few and far between for Linux, and this is at least as original a concept as the OSS game Globulation, and has some pretty spiffy graphics.
