Counter Strike: Global Offensive was recently released for Linux gamers to much fanfare, but the client was a little on the flaky side. Thankfully as we know Valve support their games very well and have just put out a new update to improve it for us.

Borderlands: The Pre-sequel has not only opened up pre-orders for Linux, but it seems it will have a same-day Linux release. This follows on from the fact that Borderlands 2 has just received a Linux release.

The day has landed folks. Borderlands 2 is now officially available for Linux and it brings us some excellent FPS action.

The Interstellar Marines developers have been very busy and this new update is bloody huge. It includes the first co-op level and it's quite big.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive looks like it will finally enter beta for Linux soon thanks to information from SteamDB. Update: it is now out!

Reflex is a competitive Arena FPS that combines modern tech with the speed, precision and freedom of a 90s shooter. It may become for Quake what UT is for the Unreal series. The game just went on kickstarter and Linux is on their list!

In an interview with eurogamer Oles Shishkovstov the chief technical officer of 4A Games made some remarks about the Linux version of the new Metro FPS games.

Screencheat is a pretty funny idea. The days of split-screen play on old games console FPS games allowed you to see where the other players are, and this game incorporates that into the actual game-play. It has a Linux version too, so we can join in on the cheating fun.

Metro 2033 Redux is confirmed for Linux, but the actual release date isn't certain yet. Luckily thanks as usual to the excellent SteamDB it looks like it's coming sooner rather than later.

Steam's Early Access is filled with games these days that are annoying to cover due to missing assets, bugs, bad performance and unfinished gameplay mechanics. In my opinion only few games out there are worth picking up. And I believe Ziggurat is one of them.

Sanctum 2 got released officially for Linux after being in beta for quite a while. So, it's our job to show you how well it runs and how good the actual game is. Time to protect some Cores!

The new Unreal Tournament is shaping up nicely, and one youtuber has popped up a video of 20 minutes gameplay.

There have been many discussions and reviews of this Portal 2 mod that landed on Steam with a price tag. So, I think it's time we take a look at it and see for ourselves what lies beyond the doors to the Aperture's Paint Gun Testing department.
