Mass Effect combines role-playing and first person shooter elements within a fantasy sci-fi lore. The beginning seems simple enough, but as you continue with dialog and team members you will be immersed with decisions that will affect your character for the rest of the game. If your team-mates survive, they will appear in the next game with dialog linking to previous events.
If you have played any of the Mass Affect franshise, then I don't have to remind you of the beautiful graphical visuals...
Hard Reset kinda came out of nowhere... its kind of a Doom slash Painkiller first person shooter with unbelievably detailed graphics! Most of the baddies are robots or robot human hybrids coming at you in hordes. One of the great elements in Hard Reset is shooting all the interactive objects that explore or electrocute the enemies. Really destructive and really fun!
Does it run in Linux? Why yes, it runs GREAT and is extremely simple to install!
The Legend Of Grimrock is an indie role playing game made with absolutely professional stature. Boasting high quality graphics, close cooridors, exploration, in-your-face action, 4 classes, and all the weapons, spells, monsters your RPG heart could want.
The unique aspect of Grimrock goes back to the original RPG's of the 80's with grid-like movement & dungeon mazes. In effect its a combination of old skool & modern game engine.
Naturally I wanted to play The Legend of Grimrock in Linux....
The Alan Wake series has not quite received the attention it deserves. Think of your favorite thriller movie... Alan Wake can absolutely compete with the theatrical settings and interactive elements.
It plays just like a movie, but instead you feel like its yourself stuck in this movie battling light and dark.
I won't give away any spoilers because the game will speak for its-self with the thrills and scares.
I had a chance to try Alan Wake in Linux and it runs decent enough to deserve a...

Wolfenstein has been a long-running franchise starting with the original Castle Wolfenstein in 1981 to Wolfenstein 3D (1992) as one of the first 3 dimensional games. Then later in 2001 Return to Castle Wolfenstein continued the story by revisiting the original concept but with more efficient graphics and stunning visuals... but that wasn't enough. In 2009 Ravensoft developed yet another Wolfenstein with modern graphical capabilities opening a whole new world in the Wolfenstein franchise.
Unreal Tournament 3 really isn't a name that glorifies what the Unreal engine really can do. It should be Unreal State-of-the-Art!
The UT3 engine is so advanced that many huge successful games like Borderlands, Gears of War and many more famous games were created in its wake!
Torchlight II not only surpasses all expectations from the original Torchlight, it even rivals Diablo 3 and includes a multi-player cooperative campaign. The world is bigger, there are more bossess, minions, weapons, armors, classes, pet, locations, secrets... on and on and on...
There is actually more of everything! You will not be disappointed. In fact, it runs beautifully in PlayOnLinux too
