The Wait is Over!

It's finally here!

Beyond: Two Souls

This is certainly looking like it could be one of the top single player games of next year.  Can't wait to play it!

 

 

 

Can't Wait!

Not really telling us much about when.  But at least they seem to be getting serious about it.  Can't wait to get some of these great games running natively free of the windows shackles!


From the Valve Linux Team:

For some time, Gabe has been interested in the possibility of moving Steam and the Source game engine to Linux. At the time, the company was already using Linux by supporting Linux-based servers for Source-based games and also by maintaining several internal servers (running a 64-bit version of Ubuntu server) for various projects. In 2011, based on the success of those efforts and conversations in the hallway, we decided to take the next step and form a new team. At that time, the team only consisted of a few people whose main purpose was investigating the possibility of moving the Steam client and Left 4 Dead 2 over to Ubuntu.
Why Ubuntu? There are a couple of reasons for that. First, we’re just starting development and working with a single distribution is critical when you are experimenting, as we are. It reduces the variability of the testing space and makes early iteration easier and faster. Secondly, Ubuntu is a popular distribution and has recognition with the general gaming and developer communities. This doesn’t mean that Ubuntu will be the only distribution we support. Based on the success of our efforts around Ubuntu, we will look at supporting other distributions in the future.
After successfully porting L4D2 to Ubuntu, interest grew within Valve and, as a result, the team and projects we were working on also grew. Currently, our focus is on the following projects:
getting the Steam client onto Linux with full functionality
optimizing a version of L4D2 running at a high frame rate with OpenGL
porting additional Valve titles

Valve on Linux

Still keeping my fingers crossed that they actually make this a reality.

No news about it since April. Might be time to start bombarding Valve with emails. Who's with me?

This is pretty cool stuff. Seriously tempted to go back to Home just so I can check this out.

New Game Coming

Pretty psychadelic. Mind control?

Check out my buddy John's site for more single player game reviews and his own personal screenshots!

Hell Yeah

This might just redeem them for some of the letdowns of recent years

Gotta wonder where it will lead...

Classic game, but.....

I guess it really makes perfect sense that Mario and Luigi are plumbers. If you ate nothing but mushrooms day in and day out, you'd spend your whole life in the bathroom too.

Lollipop Chainsaw

Don't know about being one of the best one player games but it's certainly entertaining!

Civilization V: Gods and Kings

Pretty cool shot of the new technology options in the Steampunk scenario
