I loved their "Shadowrun" titles, so I feel confident that this will be very enjoyable. I must admit that I actually have zero experience with "Mechs" previously (not counting some lame movie by Guillermo del Toro) but this looks both beautiful as well as damn fun!

Pretty sad! This title was quite high on my "most-wanted" list.

I too feel that the reasoning about "popularity=porting" seems kind of weird. On windows, this is a small fps title that competes with the recently released "Doom" and many other similar high profile fps games. On linux this would be a high profile singleplayer fps in itself and would recieve much more attention by gamers. It wouldn´t have much more actual competition than the "Half-Life" and the "Metro" games (that surely every single linux-gamer must have played through)

Sweet! I´ve been very curious about this title and the reviews are pretty glowing, so it´s an insta-buy.

I only wish I had a linux-pad to play it outside in the summer heat, I considered trying to install linux on my Asus-Transformer but it seems like there is some loss of hardware functions and the process is pretty involved.

Works great! This is really a dream come true. I bought the original game twice, once on 3.5 disks and once on cd and this feels just like I remember it, with all the modernizations fitting perfectly with all my idealized memories of how impressive it was when originally released.

Finally! I was starting to think I wouldn´t find anything new to buy until autumn (the first steam summer-sale since the start where I bought nothing)

It´s gonna be great to play this one again, I always planned to re-play the original but now I´m thankful I never got around to do it.

A shame, if this is correct. While I would be satisfied with the standard edition of "DI" for linux I was hoping that these new editions would bring "DI-Riptide" to linux.

Imo. a very enjoyable game, quite a bit more entertaining than the original DI, just as Dying Light was more entertaining than both of them.

Bought!

The demo was really interesting and seemed to hold a lot of promise for a great game, it was also quite amazing how it brought down the prize to such a low level.

Well the great majority of my wishlist is composed of "windows-only" titles and of the linux-titles, most that I actually desire are games that are not yet released or not yet ported.

So that leaves me with a bunch of "maybe" titles that I don't have much real desire for but may be willing to give a try if the price is right:

Sword Coast Legends
After Reset RPG
Renowned Explorers: International Society
The Detail
Sheltered
Savage Lands
ADOM (Ancient Domains of Mystery)
Broforce
Layers of Fear
Dungeon Rushers

...are a few examples.

Imo. this was a pretty decent "point & click" adventure. It had an interesting and fairly original story that took place in many locations all over the world (one that I would have loved to see a sequel to). Some good characters and dialogue, nice graphics and some interesting puzzles as well.

On the less positive front, the level of difficulty was rather low/mediochre (a somewhat disturbing trend in many modern adventure games) also the main character was somewhat difficult to like, being a rather odd "savant/genius" of sorts (if you imagine Sheldon Cooper from the tv-series "The Big Bang Theory", only without any attempt to make him appear funny/comical, then you have an idea).

Although other JJ-games such as "Gabriel Knight" or "Gray Matter" are better than this one, I still felt that this was definitly worth my money and (like mentioned above) the ending left lots of room to build a sequel or even an entire series on. So...if it´s not too expensive and you enjoy classical adventures then I´d reccommend it.

Nice! The first game was far better than I had expected and this looks like a *Must Have!* title as well. I certainly hope this also means that "Hard Reset Redux" will show up on Linux as well.

"Hard Reset Redux, is now in the works. It's being built on the latest version of the Roadhog engine (which is also being used for Shadow Warrior 2) and will include all of the content in the original Hard Reset as well as the Exile expansion. The overhauled edition will feature improved graphics, new enemy variants, and changes to pacing and balance"
