GZDoom, the enhanced Doom engine has a new release out to add in new features, bug fixes and collect some hardware information.

Doom 2016 supports Vulkan and at GDC this year developers from id Software talked a little about it, including how easy a Linux version could have been.

Continuing on from my previous articles on how to get both Doom 3 and Quake 4 running on modern Linux systems, I felt the time was right to look at Prey, another id Tech 4 based game with a native Linux port. It did not take me long to discover that the main issue people were likely to run into with Prey had nothing to do with the game itself.

With the continuous stream of new releases, it’s sometimes hard to remember that there's still plenty of excuses to fire up games you already own.

With recent commits that fix bugs and allow newer Vega cards to pass tests for official conformance, development for radv continues apace. It’s a good time to look back and talk about just how far the driver has come in such a short time.

GZDoom, the open source id Tech 1 engine that powers mods such as Project Brutality and standalone TCs like WolfenDoom: Blade of Agony or Castlevania: Simon's Destiny, has a new version out with improved support for Mesa drivers on Linux.

Intra-System: Trust Issues, aside from being a mouthful to say, is a short adventure game with a heavy emphasis on audio feedback and choices. I gave this recently-ported free game a play and have a few thoughts to share.

With the release of the source code to both Doom 3 and the later BFG Edition, there now exists three options for Linux users wanting to play the game. Having gone through Doom 3 again, I decided it was time for me to compare them and give my thoughts on both the game and which of the three versions are best for Linux users in 2017.

If there's one thing I truly love, it's FPS games. Merge an FPS with a space sci-fi setting where you're killing aliens in close-combat and I'm happy. Say hello to Return to Planet X.

The open source graphics drivers, Mesa, have been updated to 17.2 which is a major new release bringing in many changes.

And, as is typically the case, you can watch the mayhem from a safe distance on Twitch!
