I am the owner of GamingOnLinux. After discovering Linux back in the days of Mandrake in 2003, I constantly checked on the progress of Linux until Ubuntu appeared on the scene and it helped me to really love it. You can reach me easily by emailing GamingOnLinux directly. You can also follow my personal adventures on Bluesky.
I had a nice email from Jorge Castro of Canonical today, and it seems they are looking at ways for Ubuntu users to get newer Nvidia graphics drivers in an easier fashion.
Interplanetary is a very intriguing game about firing missiles, railguns and lots of fancy weapons from your planet, to an enemy planet, and it’s quite good.
It's sad that it seems Valve aren't supporting their Source Engine developers very well in some cases, and the Insurgency developers are going their own way to support us.
We've been pretty patient waiting for Contagion to come to Linux, and we haven't been forgotten about. The developers will be visiting Valve this year to speak about it.
It seems Nvidia are getting more invested in Linux, and this makes me rather happy. At SIGGRAPH 2015 on Sunday Nvidia is doing a number of talks, and two are very interesting for us Linux folks.
We love horror games here (hi Samsai), and Tangiers looks so freaky that it's exciting me. I'm going to see to it that Samsai (our video specialist) does a nice stream on it for you pleasure too.
Nightside is a personal favourite of mine, after I did initial testing for the developer a while ago they decided Linux would be worth it. The game has now left early access!
We decided it was time to plug Shadow of Mordor again, only this time myself and Samsai have conducted some benchmarks across four different Nvidia GPU’s.
Heads up Prison Building fans, as the final version of Prison Architect has been announced for October. If you've been holding off, I highly suggest picking it up at release, as it's great.
Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power is the latest in the puzzle platformer series by Frozenbyte, and they confirmed in their newsletter that the Linux and Mac versions are in development.
I managed to get an early look at what will be one of Linux's only semi-realistic racers, and the results of DiRT Showdown on Linux are rather interesting.
