Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition release date announced for March 27th, day-1 Linux support

Quoting: KimyrielleAs far as I know they aren't going to port the toolset, so that's a MAJOR bummer for me. I might still get it, but I am torn right now. The toolset IS NWN. The actual game is not all that good, really. What made NWN great was the ability to make your own games.

Edit: Yes, we will NOT get the toolset. As in 100% not. It's marked as "Windows only" on the official site.
Nooooooooooo!!!!!! :'(

Ant colony management game 'Empires of the Undergrowth' arrives on GOG

Intriguing. I agree that in a game like this,freeplay/sandbox mode is essential. I'm not big on campaigns in games like this. If I want story I play RPGs and Adventure games. Will definitely pick this up when the freeplay mode is implemented.

Feral is awesome. I wouldn't have so many great games without them. Going to be getting this one for sure. ^_^

Development on the new System Shock has been paused

I would rather them take a break and reassess the project rather than barreling down a path they are growing increasingly uncomfortable with and perhaps releasing a product that does not honor the original material. As Cybolic said, perhaps this will be a good thing and the final product will hew a bit closer to the original game. Only time will tell. I wish these people the best and i hope they return to it and release an awesome game.

Valve has boosted their Linux ranks by hiring another developer to work on open source graphics

Great news! It always gives me hope when Valve announces they're doing more work on Linux open source graphics drivers. This can only be a good thing for Linux gamers. ^_^

The PS3 emulator 'RPCS3' has a new development report out, progress is great

I've been waiting for something like this. I'm impressed by what they have accomplished thus far as everyone knows how exotic the PS3's hardware was. Very few development studios were able to utilize it's power fully. Exciting stuff.

Like Roguelikes? How about Tower Defense? Dead Ground merges them together

Interesting blend of game styles for sure. :)
