Probably my biggest gripe with the Earth 2140 Linux release was the terribly low resolution making everything look a bit crap. Thankfully that has now been sorted with the latest version.

Desura starting this weekend will launch a big sale called "Cheap End", it will run monthly on the lasy weekend of every month and promises plenty of cheap games.

Decent MMORPG games are something Linux still lacks, we have nothing close to World of Warcraft which is still extremely popular. So, can Blue Saga fill that gap? Probably not, but it's still charming.

Death Epileptic Pixel is one game that looks like it will give a fit even to people who aren't sensitive to flashing lights.

Shipwreck is a top down adventure game in which you must travel the land, explore dungeons, and defeat monsters to earn safe passage off the island on which you are stranded. It's a nice little game and has had a price-drop as well as a Desura release.

The Dungeoning developer has now pushed their Linux version onto Steam to join the many hundreds of games now available on Linux through Steam. We recently took a look at the game and the visuals are excellent.

CaveExpress is a fun looking 2D physics-based platformer that is now open source under the GPL3, the media is also free under a different license.

The Dungeoning is a very colourful game that was pointed out before right here on GOL. The developer sent us over a copy to video.

Bravada is the début game from Ukraine developers Interbellum Team that features a cheery little story. It's a game like nothing I've ever played before and I rather enjoyed it. It's a tactical RPG game with turn-based battles like no other.

Today I take a look at Yrminsul a tower defence game from Studio Black Flag and it's their first foray into commercial game development, so how does it live up to my expectations?

Project Zomboid has finally gone and done it. The developers have pushed 'build 26' to the main download on Steam and soon to Desura too. Desura users will be delighted by this.

I assume I am not alone in seeing the hate that Early Access has been getting from some sources recently. Well, the latest game to stoke the fire has been set off by CodeAvarice, developers of Paranautical Activity, a game that we have featured previously that combines both FPS and Rougelike gameplay features.

We only pointed Another Star out a few days ago and it has now pushed out the Linux version! The game caught my attention with its really authentic looking retro visuals, complete with a CRT screen effect.

Planet Stronghold is a sci-fi role-playing game with a turn-based combat system. It's not a new game for Linux and has been around for a while now.

MouseCraft is a quirky mix of Lemmings and Tetris where players help a group of mice in their relentless quest for cheese, guiding them to their goal by stacking different types of Tetrominoes along their path.

Oddly only called LEVEL 22 on Steam, LEVEL 22, Gary's Misadventures previously on Desura & Fireflower Games joins the ranks of Linux games on Steam for you Steam fanatics. You play as Gary who is trying to sneak into work as he's a silly hungover man.

Rating: 8/10 After two previous forays into mainstream console gaming that left Double Fine Productions out of cash and almost out of options, following the release of Brütal Legend (2009) Double Fine had to take a double take and chart out a new course for the then mostly auteur focused developer....

The Dungeoning is a new and very colourful roguelike platformer on Desura for Linux. Featuring random levels and permanent death to keep you frustrated.

While work goes on to make the game a bit easier to understand they have pushed out a new major version. I am a big fan of Running With Rifles.

Project Zomboid is one of the few survival games that actually shows a lot of promise, not only because of the frequent updates, but it now has online support too. This latest version adds even more new features.
