Steam Now Has Over 600 Linux Games
3 Aug 2014 at 2:14 pm UTC

My favourite this year so far is Civilization 5, a true AAA game which takes a lot of time before becoming boring, it´s also one of the best ports I´ve played, which is admirable by Aspyr.

I will probably change my mind though once Project cars is out, unless it´s a bad port or something else.

Interesting that Grid 2 is coming out very soon, seems to be for mac only though. :(
Would be awesome to have Grid 2 on Linux, it´s one of the best racing games I´ve played, despite some flaws like bad optimization and no cockpit view.

Quoting: GoCorinthiansWindForce FTW! GTX 870 coming end of year!
Indeed! But it´s big as hell! Took a picture. [External Link] of it and my old GTX 650Ti and the 770 is a real beast!

Thought about waiting for the next gen, but nah. Wanted some more juice, and my 650Ti started to sack with all the awesome new games that´s been released lately.

Got a Geforce GTX 770 a few days ago so I´ve been benchmarking it with various games, have yet to be disappointed by the performance. But the games I´ve played the most is Civ 5, Metro:LL, which finally seems to work without crashes. I´ve also given some hours to ETS 2, despite having over 200 hours in it already, but with the new GTX 770 I can play it with everything set to ultra and have 400% scaling, looks fantastic!

Already pre-orded, and ordered a GTX 770 yesterday which hopefully will be able to handle it. :p

Hopefully it will be better then the original M:LL release, never got to finish it due to the game keeps crashing. :( Haven't tried it in while though, anyone knows if it got fixed?

FLASHOUT 2 Racing Game Game-play Video & Some Thoughts

Quoting: E911I might pay 5$ for this on sale, but these tracks seem really narrow.

Running any NFS or Burnout Paradise on Wine has tragically failed leaving me carless in terms of "gaming on linux". There's a real market for good Linux Racers imo. Hopefully the Arcade 90s Racer will be done soon :(
I agree that there aren´t any good racing games on Linux at the moment. I think there is a market how ever, or will be. But hold on until Project Cars will come, it sure looks nice.

Prepare Your Wallets! The Steam Summer Sales To Start 19th June

My hopes are for Civ 5 dlc. Had no idea I would enjoy it that much when I bought it, otherwise I would have bought the complete pack, 40€ is a bit pricey.

I would also pick up Don´t starve, Samsais video made me interested in it.

Quoting: DeformalI think, you understand, that he mean that 1,1% of steam users has Linux.
But I am impressed by 10% of Linux gamers. Is it time for rising on number of Linux gamers?
Yeah I understood that, I just thought it was a fun typo.
