I added Assault Android Cactus, Kerbal Space Program, SR: Dragonfall and Hong Kong, Victor Vran, and Witcher 2. Should probably add Bioshock: Infinite, Mark of the Ninja, and Borderlands 2 later. Also, Cities: Skylines and Tropico. There are just so many! :D

I hope so! :)

I'm reading around in the Steam forums for the different Steam Machines, and an impressive list of games could really help arguing. And, even better, it ccould help Linux and Steam Machine gamers find interesting games...

I added some more games, but shouldn't there be a link to that list somewhere on the wiki? As of now, it's only linked from this topic I think. Of course, searching the wiki finds it.

Age of Wonders 3 (great TBS)
DOMINIONS 4 (the BEST TBS. Period.)
Planetary Annihilation: TITANS
War for the Overworld (the true successor to Dungeon Keeper 2)
Vulture for Nethack (Yes, it's free and in every repo, but even at a low price, the devs have gotten enough $$$ to improve the game, and they already have added Slash'EM to the engine)
Pandora: First Contact (Cheaper and maybe better than CIV: Beyond Earth)
Europa Univesralis IV (amazing to me to see this missing)
Crusader Kings 2 (ditto)
Unity of Command (TBS wargames don't get any better than this)
Bioshock Infinite (well, Borderlands 2 is there)
Transistor (from the creators of Bastion, just as weird and just as different)

I was surprised to not have seen these on the list. All of them I considered worth the bux.

It was a proposal, an attempt, but if people start contributing I guess we could link it well under "Games Lists" on the starting page, yes. Done that now.

I only entered games I actually own until now, which is making the list biased to my favorite genres. (Not many wuldn't have put in some of the point and clicks, I guess.) So thanks for your list, I will add them later. If others want to write down their list here rather than putting them into the wiki, this is welcome as well.

Edit: I've entered your games, thanks for the contribution!

Geometry Wars 3
Crypt of the Necrodancer
Anomaly 2 (sequel to Anomaly Warzone Earth)
Strike Suite Zero
Shadow Warrior
SpecOps the Line
Battle Worlds Kronos
Halfway

Thanks for your input, Julius!

Is this working stable now? I tried the demo twice with a long gap between, but it always crashed for me.

While it's a nice idea, where does it stop and end? It will end up being a massive list which would be too big to be useful?

I'm not sure. :)

I really hope it ends up in a massive list. The primary use I thought of in the beginning was to show that we've got a massive list of games to our disposal.

Once I read from a Windows user in the Steam forum that we would resrict ourselves and that we shouldn't cry because we haven't got enough to play. We know that this is not true, but how to show him? In the last days I've read similiar things several times when looking through the Steam Machine forums on Steam. The massive list you're predicting would be helpful in such cases. Of course, some people will find it never enough if it's not all Windows games, but for the others.

Now that I've started the list I wonder if it could be useful for us when looking out for new games as well, and to be honest, I don't know if it will. What I would do if the list would be fed by many people is to look for the genre I'm longing for and see if some line catches my eye.

It might also help people deciding to jump on the Linux gaming or the Steam Machine train. Is there enough to play? Yes, there is. What can I play in my favorite genre? Please take a look.

Dunno, I played it through on my Linux system months ago and can't remember any crashes. Maybe it is just the demo?

Quoting: JuliusDunno, I played it through on my Linux system months ago and can't remember any crashes. Maybe it is just the demo?

I tried the demo once again and it didn't crash. Took them a long time, it seems.
I've added all your proposals now.

We've collected 188 games now, and following a good suggestion from the Steam forums, the list is sortable by genre.
I hope it helps one or the other to find some gem. :)

Brilliant idea!

Some contributions: Grim Fandango, The Banner Saga, Else Heart.Break(), Massive Chalice, Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok (This one is actually free)

If I remember more I will post them here too.

... but I found that it's rather hard to write a recommendation line for games I don't know or perhaps wouldn't like (be it due to genre or whatever). Could you give me a short line per game why this game is interesting, please?

Of course, no probs!

Grim Fandango - Classic graphic adventure with a great story line in the world of the dead.

The Banner Saga - Strategic RPG based on Viking mythology.

Else Heart.Break() - Hack your way through to solve the puzzles on this adventure.

Massive Chalice - Fun strategic game from Double Fine.

Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok - Beautiful pixel art style game following the steps of the classics Quest for Glory.

I think Dying light, Race the Sun, Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack are missing

Go back a couple of years! It's cool we can actually make such a list :D

Thanks, I've added them!

Added as well, thanks!
