Another great review, BTRE! I'm not sure I will pick up the game, but I did enjoy reading your detailed thoughts on it :)

The Darkside Detective, a supernatural point & click adventure is now on Linux

Yay, a short game! :D I'm always happy to see a well-crafted game that clocks in at around 4-8 hours; any longer than that and I'm almost invariably forced to quit it halfway through due to the dreaded "real life".

Tooth And Tail, a new RTS game from Pocketwatch Games looks awesome, confirmed for Linux

Wow, this just oozes character! I do miss a good RTS on Linux but when this arrives I suspect I'll enjoy the narrative and style even more than the actual gameplay, that's how good it looks :D

Machinarium updated to remove Flash, new Linux build is planned too

Great news, but as everyone has already said, the choice of DirectX is really, really odd. They already know they are going to port it to non-DirectX systems and it's a game very suited for mobile - I really can't find any sense in picking DirectX over OpenGL :/

Starbound 1.3 – Spacefarer update is now live

Liam, have you tried the update yet? I just bought it but it crashes immediately for me on Arch, so I'm curious as to whether you're seeing the same thing.

Could Ash of Gods fill the void The Banner Saga left for Linux?

It looks and sounds gorgeous but their tiers are a bit hard to decipher. I'm fairly interested in getting the soundtrack but according to the Kickstarter tier list on the right, that's a $65 price tag; according to their own tier overview graphics, it's $45 and yet again, it's listed as a $10 digital add-on with no mention of how to get/add it. This confusion can't be helping them reach their goal :/

Blasphemous is a promising looking dark and brutal non-linear platformer

Wow, that looks insanely pretty! Reminds me of Shadow of the Beast mixed with Castlevania (and a bit of Slain) and the fluid movement of Prince of Persia. I may just have to back this one!

Great news! Now would be a good time to release a new official Steam Machine with a decent GPU, maybe based on the NFC S4 Mini [External Link]? :D

An update on the Xenonauts Linux port that's only for 'legacy customers'

While I can understand their reasoning, I'm still not happy about it. Linux support was promised during their initial Kickstarter, so using the post-release-porter-excuse doesn't quite cut it. I get that this is how it ended up, but it never should have in the first place.

Well, best case scenario, this might open up negotiations with a new publisher for Feral *crosses fingers*.
