I have been following Halfway for quite some time now, and someone requested us to write an update on how they are progressing. Good timing as they just released some more information on the gorgeous looking turn based strategy game.

Fun little tidbit today folks as a developer of Payday 2 responded to a request post on the Steam forum asking for a Linux version of Payday 2.

A very cute looking game has been released for Linux on Steam titled "Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake" and it actually looks quite decent. It's another Cartoon Network game (the other was Powerpuff Girls) which is interesting to see such a big name support Linux again.

Another Source engine powered game plans to support Linux soon with a migration to a more updated version of Source. Dino D-Day is touted as being like Counter Strike only with Nazi troopers and dinosaurs. If that didn't peak your interest then I don't know what will.

Shovel Knight is an awesome looking love letter to 8-bit games that was funded on Kickstarter some time ago. It had a Linux stretch goal that was hit and the developers have now teased it running on Linux.

Door Kickers is the excellent squad based strategy and tactics game from KillHouse Games we have shown you a few times here. They have released a big update to push the game into beta and it's a good one.

Being in charge of humanity's last line of defense against an extraterrestrial threat is highly unlikely and if I were to do it I'm fairly sure we'd be doomed, but now I can try my hand at it in the safe environment of XCOM.

Storm is a fast-paced, 2d side-scrolling multiplayer action game largely based on Soldat. It is Linux native too.

While not yet officially announced Mount & Blade: Warband is out for Linux, downloadable and might even be playable for you.

The developers of Unreal Tournament have another update in store for us and it sounds like it's all coming together very nicely.

Wings Of Saint Nazaire is one of the most beautiful space shooting experiences i've had in years and the latest updates give some subtle improvements.

Torchlight already exists on Linux but it cannot be found anywhere but the Ubuntu Software Centre! What about those of us who do not use Ubuntu? Why is this charming hack and slash action roleplaying game being withheld from our willing wallets?

Thanks to the developer looking to update the version of Game Maker they use we Linux gamers will see Risk of Rain on Linux. Fight on a mysterious planet with randomly spawning enemies and bosses, either alone or with 3 friends in online co-op.

We've seen a bunch of open world survival games over the past few years with zombies, voxels and so on, but we haven't seen one with dinosaurs yet. Well, today the day has come to see how survival with dinos goes.

A developer of Mount & Blade: Warband has confirmed the port on their Steam forum and confirmed it will be a native port too.

What would happen if a concert of a female rock band was invaded by a horde of zombies? The answer to that question can be found in this video game which combines both, classic gameplay from the Arcade Golden Age with modern 3D graphics. Enter Rock Zombie and it looks funny.

Rhythm Destruction is a rhythm & shoot'em up that aims to combine the best of both genres. The developers have stated it's possible to port, but we just need to show enough interest.

The invasion has begun. XCOM: Enemy Unknown is now available on Linux and you can help stop the alien invasion right now.

FLASHOUT 2 is a game that reminds me very much of playing Wipeout on the early games consoles and it's actually pretty good on Linux.

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty promises to bring Linux some great puzzle platforming as a complete rebuild of Abe's Oddysee which back in the day was a really amazing game.
