Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?! That has to be one of the wackiest titles I've ever seen, and the developers kindly sent in a key for me to give it a go.

Bound By Flame is an ambitious Action RPG developed by French development studio Spiders and published by Focus Home Interactive. It was originally released in 2014, but the Linux version was released out of the blue earlier this month. Thus far, it's the only title from the developer that's been released for our platform.

I recently acquired a new PC and 4K monitor thanks to a family member, so here’s some thoughts on the Asus 4K PB287Q 28 inch monitor.

Developer Matthew Brown's new game is similar in style to his popular Hexcells trilogy, and seems like another great buy for fans of Japanese style logic puzzles.

Dreamfall Chapters Book 4 has been released, accompanied by a major engine update and the time seems apt for a review. I previously covered the game’s performance improvements, and thanks to those, the game can now be discussed on its own merits rather than get bogged down in the numerous performance issues.

There are lots of so called roguelites on Steam but recently a real roguelike classic called ADOM, or Ancient Domains of Mystery, made its way to Steam. Let's go check it out!

Some good news about the whole Steam Machine parade, OC3D did a pretty long review of the ZBOX NEN SN970 and they liked it so much they gave it an award.

Unmechanical has been extended with a new chapter, adding more than an hour's worth of new puzzles and exploration, and the Unreal Engine 3 powered game is now officially available for Linux.

For the purposes of this review I will be concentrating fully on the single player campaign. I did have a quick peek at the DM tools but found them lacking for creating anything other than simple dungeon crawls or completely linear adventures.

I honestly can’t remember the last time I was this excited about any hardware. It may only be a gamepad, but the Steam Controller is so very different it’s refreshing.

Ever wanted to fly a high-speed interceptor in a big dogfight against a superior enemy force like in Battlestar Galactica? Well, it's possible thanks to Diaspora: Shattered Armistice! Let's go kill some toasters!

Alien: Isolation has officially been released for Linux, and continues our trend of great AAA games. I would recommend playing this from behind a pillow, with emergency pants nearby.

Freespace 2 is a space combat simulator game from way back in 1999, it may be old, but it has an official open source engine and you should really give it a run.

INK is a minimalist hardcore platformer where you paint levels as you play, by running and sliding along surfaces, and with the paint splatter of your many deaths.

Civilization: Beyond Earth is a sci fi-themed entry in the much-beloved and long-running Civilization series. It came out late last year to mixed reception and now has seen the release of its first expansion. I decided to check out Rising Tide to see if it managed to recapture some of that classic Civ magic.

After a pretty long hiatus related to my school work, I have finally returned to reclaim the GOL Cast throne. This time we'll be taking a look at Polychromatic, a recently released indie twin-stick shooter.

Crookz - The Big Heist is a game that came out of nowhere for me. I remember a live action trailer announcing the game a long time ago, then nothing until a free demo popped up a little over a week before the game's release. I wound up playing the demo and enjoyed it enough that I scooped up the full game.

I am so shocked with the performance of the Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 PRO Rev.2 that I decided to give it a small write up.

It’s still not all that often we get such big games, although it is increasing, so here’s a more detailed look at Company of Heroes 2 on Linux.

Airscape is a playful gravity platformer that feels like an essential buy to any fan of challenging platformers, and now has a Linux demo on Steam.
