Dicey Dungeons, a new roguelike from Terry Cavanagh is a little bit addictive

For some reason, this put me in the mind of CardHunter. This looks great. Will pick it up on Itch, as I don't support those guys nearly enough.

I pulled the trigger on this a couple of months back, but didn't really get into it thanks to always being out of sync with Windows-only pals. Would love to see official support. This type of game is quite rare on our platform.

Well, the whole of Psychonauts was intensely depressing when you put it in that light!! I'm willing to guess that something that happens in the fantasy world will affect the real world too. Think positive and all that.

This looks excellent - I wishlisted it a couple of days ago. It reminds me of the awesome Costume Quest games for some reason.

Quoting: XpanderLooks quite cheap if you ask me. No suspension animations, handling seems super arcade also and not in a good way like say Flatout 2. Looks more like some mobile game. Somehow i smell "MadOut" in this. Which is fine i guess if the price is fair
It does look basic, right? I'm still holding out for Drag, but I haven't heard anything for ages - it's been over 6 months when it was "coming soon". Did I miss a release announcement?

Wizard of Legend sells 500K copies, on sale for a few days to celebrate

Quoting: STiATSounds like paid advertisment ... the whole article.
GOL runs sales notification articles all the time. I'm not sure what it is about this one that inspired you to shoot it down though. As I say, I'm tempted to buy it, but would rather see LAN support first. I was leaning towards Enter the Gungeon, but it has the same "problem".

Warlocks 2: God Slayers brings the action to Linux this October

This does look pretty spectacular. Fingers crossed. It'll give Chasm a run for its money, I guess... albeit that's meant to be out in a couple of days, so it'll have something of a head start on this!

So tempted to buy this, but it doesn't sound like it supports any kind of co-op play unless it's on the same screen. If it had LAN or WAN support for multiplayer co-op, I'd be dropping £40 on a 4-pack instantly.

Humble Store and GOG have an interesting selection of sales this week for Linux fans

Quoting: danniello
Quoting: scaineI had no idea that Cannon Fodder and its follow up had launched on Linux. Those were awesome games back in the day. I might buy Cannon Fodder just for the theme tune alone!
Unfortunately Cannon Fodder on GOG it is DOS edition - especially sound is terrible.

Probably Amiga emulation it is legal nightmare, so they decided for MS-DOS edition. Anyway they should warn gamers in description that this edition has terrible sound comparing with Amiga original version... At least they could add extra Amiga version disk files without emulator - I think it should be OK from legal perspective...
Thanks for the heads up! Refunding immedi... only joking! I think I played these on the ST, rather than my latter short stint with an Amiga, but for the price of a bottle of coke, I think I'll just give it a try regardless.

EDIT: Yikes, it's £1.78 for both! Okay then. Gimme some of that retro gaming action!
