Hyperspace Pinball Released For Linux, It's Quite Cool

Wow, it's probably the first time I see "pinball" and "Linux" in the same sentence. :D

Steam Reaches Over 1,500 Linux Games, It's Not Enough

Quoting: liamdaweI would rather not click-bait a random milestone like other websites do, this is meant as a more serious point that it really isn't enough right now. There's no need for me to fanboy every single random milestone we hit, and we need to keep pushing for more ports, and not be complacent with what little we still have right now.
Then why write about it at all?

Saints Row 2 Looks Like It's Coming To Linux

Hm... I was recently wondering about Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell, because it got a bunch of encrypted depots at about the same time as Saints Row IV. So maybe they're porting them all?

Pillars Of Eternity: The White March Part I Now Available
25 Aug 2015 at 3:05 pm UTC

Yeah, DLCs kept me from buying this game as well (similarly with Civ:BE and some others). I'll wait till everything is out and buy some Complete Collection at -75%. Though looking at CK2 and EU4 it may take years if not (nomen omen) eternity...

Maybe I could buy the game + expansion pass (did that with BL:TPS), but afaik it covers only White March 1+2, and not any other expansions if they decide to release them, right?

What Have You Been Playing Recently, And What Do You Think About It?

I'm ~66% into Shadow of Mordor and I find it quite entertaining. The Talos Principle is better (because of the depth) but I've already finished it and it doesn't really have much replay value, aside from getting some missed achievements.

Monster Loves You! is marked as available on steam for Linux but it isn't. No Tux/SteamOS logo in the shop, doesn't show up in the library and doesn't download.

Absolute Drift Is A Weird Minimalistic 2D Car Drifting Sim For Linux, Two Keys Up For Grabs

Quoting: MamboAny opinion about Coffin Dodgers vs BlazeRush?
I played ReVolt as a kid, would like to find something fun with a large choice of tracks.
Both are fun, but Blaze Rush is much better in my opinion. Coffin Dodgers is just your random kart game, fun for a while but lacks variation. Blaze Rush is more like Micro Machines - five or so different worlds, each world has quite a few different tracks. The game has three play modes (simple race - rather annoying; king of the hill - quite fun, and death race - definitely the strongest feature of the game, providing the most fun in multiplayer); single player campaign also features "beat the clock" tracks.

So, if you like kart races and have some spare change - get both of them. If you have to choose, get BlazeRush.

I may not be the best hunter, but I sure know how to smell game from far away.
