Quoting: gustavoyaraujoBeing free to play in this type of game is mandatory.

I think this might be true. It is for sure the reason why I never played it. I did not want to spend $20 on it. I wasn't sure. On the other hand, I put some money into the F2P card game Solforge long ago because I played that game a lot and liked it. Another case in point is Dota 2. At this point, having played many hours, I would be willing to buy the game if I had to. But I don't know that I would have paid the entry fee because I didn't know if I liked MOBA's back then. After playing quite a bit, I put some money into the game. I even enjoy watching the tournaments so much that I buy the E tickets or whatever so that the prize pool is bigger.

Anyway, the cost of entry is the main thing that held me back.

Looks like it could be fun, but not to look at.

Quoting: FredOBattletech is showing as Windows and MAC only. Is it officially out for Linux, or still in some kind of private beta?

My Steam version [External Link] runs in Linux.

I love most of the games that Paradox gives to us, how many of their games we can run, and that they support modding. I'm a fan!

Ditto to the PvE comments. That's what my friends and I like. We've never been end-game, PvP people.

This is happy to hear. I seldomly play Minetest with the kids, but it so happens that I did last weekend. They go back and forth between Minecraft and Minetest. They seem to like both. Nice to see that Minetest is still getting love!

Quoting: fedotixInsurgency Sandstorm maybe one day ...:(

That's what I was hoping to see on the list. :( It's probably the #1 Linux release that I'm looking forward to at this time.

Quoting: einherjarHmm, to be honest, there is not one title, that is interesting for me.

What type of games appeal to you? I am pretty interested in these:
The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep
We Were Here Together
.Age
Kubifaktorium
Iron Marines

The rest, I'm still interested in seeing how they fare.

I haven't looked into reviews, but if it's as good as Dirt 3 was, then I'll probably get it. I liked that one a lot, except for the stunt portion of the campaign.

Just adding my two cents that I really like Armello. Since my wife is not very drawn to computer games and I don't like to play it by myself, I have only played it about half a dozen times. My gaming buddies are never very excited to play a game where you take turns. :'(

I'm glad you mentioned Starmancer because this looks pretty darn similar and I've already been looking forward to that one. Perhaps this one plays differently. I'll have to take your word for it for now.
