Truckful is a gorgeous looking trucking delivery game with something dark lurking

The game does look good, with an interesting concept. However, the graphics scream Unity3D at me which can be a bit hit-and-miss performance-wise on Linux. Still, will certainly check this game out!

The first game was quite good, though I'm convinced I spent most of the time competing against aimbots. Might just be my rubbish performance, though... ;-)

I'd actually never heard of these games until they appeared on Steam. I think I was playing too much Doom or Quake back in those days!

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora now on Steam, broken for Steam Deck and Desktop Linux

I've been reading the comments on the Steam Store page and it seems that unless you have a Ninjascopic Fighting Platform (*), you aren't going to get far with this one. The reviewers also call it Far Cry with blue people!

There are a number of other cons, in particular: published by Ubisoft, contains Denuvo malware, always-online, in-game purchases and numerous bugs. Add to that a hefty price tag of £114.99 (without discount) if you want the Ultimate Edition (or £59.99 otherwise).

Ubisoft are obviously not interested in Steam Deck (or Linux) anyway, so personally I wouldn't give them the coverage.

Totally procedurally generated missions and story
This is the only part that bothers me. I prefer hand-crafted levels and missions.

Every time I see a reference to Killing Time, I briefly wonder if it's going to be an adaptation of the awesome Indigo Prime story!

So much for preservation, the classic Delta Force games are getting delisted

Didn't take me long to find that the games are still preserved, though not via official routes. Aarrr, mateys!

I used to use Kaspersky regularly on my Windows system until I switched OS in 2006. Back then, at least, it was a very effective tool.

A new turn-based RPG to play on my Tumbleweed system would be great!
