Audiosurf 2 Smashes Out Of Early Access, Available For Linux
27 May 2015 at 1:02 pm UTC

Quoting: QantouriscIt can download stuff from soundcloud, or you point it to a music file on your computer. There is also a automatic "find music" thingy in the game, but turned that off; so no clue what it does.
If you don't mind the download it has a demo on steam(maybe somewhere else too) good for 3 songs.
Ah awesome - thanks for the info!

... So it analyze the music and build the track instead of being pre-scripted to the music. But can you then use your own tracks? That'd be cool!

Quoting: Vash63Isn't UE4 the most advanced open source game engine? This is free software and UE4 is not, but aren't both open source?
Indeed they are. This must either have been written a long time ago, or should be tagged as advertisement.

The Dying Light Linux Performance Patch Is Glorious, GOL Sneak Peek
20 May 2015 at 9:06 am UTC

Is this the same as the latest patch on Steam that came just last week or so? Cause if so, there's a *major* flaw going around: The non-animated faces are back! Yup, the bug from launch is reintroduced.

Colour me not impressed. They can't possibly test the patches on Linux at *all*, before they release them?!

Logitech F310 Gamepad Review On Linux
19 May 2015 at 6:40 am UTC

F710 here, after seven years with a PS3 I will never return to a wired controller again.
I use the gamepad in roughly 50% of the games I play. Some games, even fps (like borderlands!) just feels more right with a pad.

Speculation: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords For Linux Leaked By The ESRB
18 May 2015 at 6:13 pm UTC

I got the first (and Iæd say clearly the best of the two) KOTOR running on my Android phone (I almost choked when I saw it in Play Store), ported by our very Aspyr, so I do not understand why we don't already have KOTOR for Linux! It can't be far off.

Man this looked really cool as a break from the bigger releases. Added to my wishlist!

Spec Ops: The Line Released For Linux, Initial Port Report Included
18 May 2015 at 12:49 pm UTC

I feel like I should support this release, but looks too linear for my liking nor am I a fan of military themed games so I do consider waiting for the summer sales... Had it been running natively I'd fork out the cash.

I'm super pumped for vr so this is a major disappointment for me.

Thank God (Gabe) that Valve too are working on a set. They seem to be my rescue... Again.
