I actually have to agree... the original Trine was a lot more sober and felt more methodic. It also felt like it trusted you more to figure things out by yourself.
Trine 2 (at least in the beginning) is all flash and it takes a little while to get used to that. I also felt like my hand was being guided a bit much early on, although this improved after you first encounter Rosabel and start to go after the goblins.
From that point on I was back to doing the same weird physics tricks I ended up doing in Penumbra (especially Requiem). My favourite method in this case being going halfway back through the map to find the one wooden box (or explosive barrel!) that Amadeus could transport to atop a high ledge so that I could get Zoya to so inelegantly (and often painfully!) grapple on to it. Or throwing down a sacrificial Pontius to knock out a certain wall for the others with his hammer before falling into the abyss.
As Yahtzee actually put it in his Trine review, "Am I making some puzzle designer cry?". :D

No, they were, and now they are not. The banner is also still up on my Desura client.

Well, in the past there was a Linux port of Exile III that never worked for me. And they also released the source code to Blades of Exile as well, though I am not sure if any proper source ports were completed.

Anyone else bash around in Exile back in the day? ;)

I thought Chromium could not do HTML5 videos, but it can run this?

Quoting: "KIAaze, post: 3865, member: 16"But I don't have any sound, despite having sound in HTML5 videos.
Tried with Firefox and Chromium.
