Welcome to another Wednesday Madness here at GOL. Another quick look at some good deals you shouldn't pass up!

The newest benchmarking test by Unigine Corp shows off their UNIGINE 2 engine and rather impressive visuals. Get ready to push your GPUs hard!

Cosmic Star Heroine, an indie 2D RPG about saving the galaxy has delayed the Linux version. Another in a long list, sadly.

Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition is another revamp of an old classic given new life by Beamdog, a game where death is not the end. You will end up becoming friends with death and get to know it rather well.

A presentation was done about Counter-Strike: Global Offensive coming to China, where the revealed Source 2 was coming along with a new UI.

Good news for fans of 2D action and adventure games, as the developers of Hollow Knight have announced it will officially launch for Linux tomorrow.

Topware have been going over their games and giving them Wine-ports where possible. Septerra Core & Jack Orlando are two titles that were previously given this treatment on Steam, but now GOG too.

Yooka-Laylee, the 3D platformer from Playtonic Games has been released with day-1 Linux support, here's some initial thoughts.

Feral Interactive have pushed out another Mad Max patch for the Vulkan Beta, they claim to have improved Vulkan further, so I took a look.

Dark Horizons: Mechanized Corps, a mech combat game on Steam now has a Beta available with Linux support baked-in.

I wrote about The Signal From Tölva back in August of last year as it looks amazing. It has now been released on Windows and the developers are still fully open to getting it on Linux.

Classic first-person shooters are without question my favourite video game genre, and it would be nice to be able to sit down and play more Indie games that can satisfy both my classic FPS craving while at the same time pushing the genre forward. Ziggurat attempts to do both, and it wins my respect for that.

Serious Sam's Bogus Detour is another Serious Sam title, but this one is a top-down manic shooter for up to 12 players.

Quern - Undying Thoughts, a first-person puzzler inspired by the likes of Myst and Riven has been released on GOG and they have a Linux build too.

One thing I totally forgot to write about is that in the next release of OpenMW, the open source game engine for Morrowind, will finally have the 'Distant terrain' feature.

Man O' War: Corsair - Warhammer Naval Battles only added Linux support back on March after I poked the developer and now they have a final release date set.

Inner Chains is a rather dark FPS powered by Unreal Engine 4 and it does look incredible. The problem is, the release date has been set with no Linux release in sight.

I had the pleasure of speaking to two different teams at game developer and publisher Beamdog, notable for Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition and the soon to be released Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition.

Linux gamers can now easily play the classic fighting game 'Pray for Death', as GOG have packaged it up with DOSBox.

AMD have released their AMDGPU-PRO 17.10 driver which includes a few important fixes as well as official support for Ubuntu 16.04.2 64bit. It should also fix a Mad Max Vulkan issue.
