Atari Vault, a 100 classic game collection heading to SteamOS & Linux
25 Jan 2016 at 7:13 pm UTC

Nice, but not really my thing anymore.

I had a period sometime around Y2K that lasted for about a year. During that time I was gripped by "emulation-mania" (lol) and I went from MAME with all it ´s old arcade titles to "UAE" with all the old Amiga titles and other emulators as well, SNES, Gameboy, Sega etc. etc. etc.

However, I eventually came to grips with the fact that I had very little interest in actually *playing* any of these oldies. I had more than enough contemporary games to keep me occupied. Nope, it was just the challenge of amassing a library of old and often obscure games that was the entertainment. Like a coin or stamp collection really.

So...end of story. I think I may still have a box of old cd:s filled with emulators and old games up in the attic somewhere. :huh:

Agatha Christie - The ABC Murders is coming to SteamOS & Linux

Very nice!

I´ve long hoped that "Frogware" would have their Sherlock Holmes game-series ported to Linux. However, Poirot is close enough to satisfy my need for adventure-sleuthing. Just keep `em coming!

Feral Interactive are teasing a new Linux port on their radar

Fallout 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, GTA V, Just Cause 3, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Mafia III, Doom, Dragon´s Dogma: Dark Arisen...anything from those titles are the only ones that would make me deliriously happy right now.

Still, I´m pretty certain that there´s nil chanse of that happening. So, I would be ok with anything that´s not: sports/racing/rts or minor indie title.

The new Master of Orion 4X strategy game might see a Linux release

Hope it´s true.

There´s been a "Linux request thread" going since september on the games steam-forum. No response from any developer yet though.

I used to love MoO almost as much as I loved MoM, back in the days.

Homefront: The Revolution aiming for a day-1 Linux & SteamOS release on May 20th

Very nice! This will be a Day 1 purchase for me.

I also agree with the above comments, the first game was not that great and it could certainly have been a few hours longer but all the same it was not a bad shooter. The game-mechanics worked well, can't recall any bugs, the story was reasonably entertaining and the environments were atmospheric.

Review: Bound By Flame on Linux

Very nice review!

From "Spiders", I've only played this and "Mars: War Logs" and I believe I enjoyed them pretty much equally.

Two action oriented rpg-romps with a bit of a "gamey taste", an expression which I use to mean that they are ambitious projects and at the same time a bit unrefined, a bit unpolished, a little flawed and lacking that "AAA-Studio Feel". I much admit that I have a real soft spot for that special "pseudo-category" of game, and I have on more than one occasion found myself enjoying them just as much as their far more "well reviewed cousins " in the crpg genré.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

May Vulcan come swiftly and with many blessings for us all. <3

FNA, the open source reimplementation of Microsoft's XNA first official release
30 Dec 2015 at 7:06 pm UTC

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this release will have a positive impact on the porting of "Underrail", a very interesting rpg that I bought in early access about 2 years ago.

It uses XNA and a port doesn't sound out of the question.

Nice, I often switch between surfpadd/desktop and it's neat not to need to constantly log in (when you're responding to different comments at different times 'n stuff)

Noire crime thriller Blues and Bullets released for Linux on Steam

Quoting: flesk
Quoting: FeistEdit: Btw. has anyone played through ep 1 &amp;amp; 2 of "The Detail", that title seems a little similar to this game and I'm thinking about buying it too.
I played episode 1 and liked it, but I forgot to write about it (I think). There's no action in it though.
Action is not a requirement for me as long as it has atmosphere and interesting characters/story. I remember wanting to buy "The Detail" earlier but I was put off by the fact that it had no "season pass" or some similar arrangement. (I see now that it still hasn't changed)
