I am stuck with 352 right now, because I could not get 355 to work with primus. Although the nice thing about hybrid graphics is that I don't end up with a broken system when that happens. :)

Multiplayer indie action game 'Super Snow Fight' may get a Linux version if there is enough demand

Honestly, demand? Being a Linux user is not an indicator for what kind of games I like. The quality of the Linux port is an indicator of what games I am likely to play though.

First-person puzzle game Attractio has been released on Steam

Vaguely remembering the title I started looking through all the sites I ever bought games from, and there it was. Including a Steam key. That's the good news.

The bad news is that I also found a bunch of promising games that never got completed. Many even were greenlit on Steam just to never be seen again.

Anyway, it does seem like the game got a healthy chunk of development since I saw it last. Looking forward to finally playing it.

Escape from Tarkov, the new Russian Survival MMO FPS looks like it's heading to Linux

Love the voice acting. Like when the character throws a grenade and shouts "here's a present for you, bitch." I have heard people complaining about English versions of Russian games, but they do not realize that it is actually quite hard to translate Russian slang accurately. For exampe the previously mentioned phrase is only 3 words in Russian.

Long story short, learn Russian, play in original language. :)

Ok, so pearls are made under water. Bioshock takes place under water. One is for the first Bioshock. Pearls are shiny, means it is a remastered version. Guys, remastered Bioshock 1 is comming to Linux!

I don't recall seeing this tournament mentioned on the front page before. You really should.

The Bug Butcher released for Linux & SteamOS, here's some thoughts for you

Quoting: MohandevirLocal coop... Yes!
It was added quite recently. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but I will in the weekend. Already stocked on beer. :)

The game has improved a lot since beta, so whatever reservations I had before, can definitely recommend it now.

The way I read it: "I cannot date you right now, but you are a really nice guy. Let's be friends for now."

Infinium Strike, an interesting looking strategy and action game comes to Linux this year

I watched the trailer and looked through the website, but I am still puzzled over what genre this is?

My Survival Story in Drox Operative

Quoting: Beamboom...I'm just worried about when we will start seeing fabricated submissions here, like the "user reviews" on Amazon & co. This is already the one major site for Linux gaming news (with barely any competition at all), and it's only a question of how big the platform must be before this open article submission will be (tried) exploited.
When that happens, we will know that we have won.
