Man, Gender Bender DNA Twister Extreme [External Link] goes out of its way to be some offensive trash, doesn't it? I guess deviantART members need games too. That one's on my "Not If You Freakin' Paid Me" list.

These ones look like they have potential though:

• Planetship [External Link]
  
• InSomnia RPG [External Link]
  
• Saga Heroes [External Link]
  
• Spheritis [External Link]
  
• The Deer God [External Link]
  
• The Masterplan [External Link] (the music alone makes it worth watching)

Oddly enough, I got it through a Humble Bundle (for Windows at the time, but later discovered they provided a .sh file for Linux installs) rather than the Ubuntu Software Centre. However, it's not in the Humble Store now, so presumably it never got added. Maybe approach them about it?

I can add Avadon 2 to the "needs linux" list. I bought it shortly before I switched to Linux and haven't been able to play it since. Apparently the first game was ported by a volunteer, and they had problems because nobody knew how to provide support, so apparently they're iffy about doing it again.

To be honest, I'd rather see Torchlight 2 than the original on Linux. But you go with what you've got I guess.

Hmm, looking at the Steam forum for the game, they haven't even considered a FoV control, which these days is no-brainer stuff for a first-person game. Given how many people complain of motion sickness on PC games with low FoV (myself included) this is the sort of thing designers should really stay on top of. But from their priority list as of June 13, they don't even seem to be aware that it's a consideration.

Just as well I read that before I watched much of the video. Close call.

Seems like a party game to me, where you drink a bit and laugh at each other doing ridiculous stuff with a goat.

Your average Friday night in some places, just it's a video game now.

If Pandora gets marked down enough, I'll probably get it. Maybe Escape Goat 2, we'll see what happens.

Not exactly a stellar collection. The only one that really grabs my attention is Shaman, but I don't see much (any?) gameplay for it yet. Some nice ideas in a few of the others but nothing I'd really go too far out of my way for.

If anything, I find the performance is actually better under Linux than it was under Windows 7. I'm pretty impressed with how it came out, other than a minor difficulty in setting my resolution (which mysteriously fixed itself somehow).

Ugh, it's refusing to change resolution to 1920 x 1080. It keeps hanging when I try to change it, and then reverts back to 1024 x 768. Interestingly, when I ran it through Wine I didn't have that problem (although I had the occasional crash).

Brave New World expansion seems to be in place though, so that's a thing.

ETA: and now it works after a few attempts. Very strange.
