That's right folks, DiRT Rally is now officially confirmed to be coming to Linux and it arrives on March 2nd. Feral Interactive are behind the port, so it will be another good one I hope.
This is a small adventure that has been out there for two years, but since it never was covered in GOL, I decided to try it and share with you some impressions. Also, you can't miss the funny DLC included.
I had the pleasure of talking to Simon Roth, a developer I've followed for quite some time now about his game 'Maia', about Linux and other bits. Linux sales for Simon are 'approaching ten thousand', which is impressive.
FortressCraft Evolved is a game I often overlook, but perhaps not for much longer. It has a truly massive update with a much better tutorial and a very slick new look for the surface of worlds.

Veteran games designer Bob Bates is crowdfunding a brand new text adventure called 'Thaumistry: In Charm's Way'. It seems it will support Linux too, as it's plainly listed in the description.
X-COM: UFO Defense is a true classic. I played it originally on Amiga for days on end and it has a fully functional open source engine from the community named 'OpenXcom'. The game is free right now on Humble Store, so go grab it.
