Heavy Bullets FPS Officially Released Out Of Early Access

It's one of the more tense games I've played lately, and I found it pretty good. I recommend headphones for a more intense experience; the heartbeat when you're low on health is very effective. :)

Quoting: sobkasHadBabits: So you don't know you can grab torches or get a spiked ball on a chain as a weapon?
Nope, sailed right over my thick head :) However, I don't know that it would've made the game any more enjoyable; and I can't be bothered to find out :P

Insanity's Blade Released For Linux

I had some trouble getting it to run on Linux Mint 17 64 bit. It complained about a missing libudev.so.0 library. I had a libudev package under a different name so I made a link, renamed it accordingly, and got the game to run.

The game itself is kind of a lemon (that's what you Brits say, yeah? ;)). Looks nice (for the most part), but I found the actual gameplay very phoned in. You play a character who can punch, then punch knives from his fists, and then multiple knives from his fists. At this point all weaker enemies will vaporize before you, whereas tougher fellows (such as an Ent built like a monster truck) serve as mobile bullet sponges who can't even attack you because an up-close blow knocks them out of range.

I'm gonna pass :whistle:

edit: That being said, the games aesthetics and music are pretty well done to fit the retro theme :)

He mentions a really informative video, but I don't suggest reading the comments.

I was also pretty surprised about the OMG poll; I nixed windows about a year ago (and have been using Linux for 2 years) with no regrets :)

I hesitated when I saw "Dota 2" in the video, but it actually looks pretty interesting. Can't wait to see more Unreal Engine 4 games coming to Linux :D

The Skullgirls Promised Linux Port Seems Iffy Again (UPDATED)

Looks good, and my room-mate appreciates games that let her play as a girl and fighting games, shame about the delay though.

Between this and the other titles I may never have a day where I don't check SteamDB :P (as opposed to several months of XCOM not too long ago)
