Linux gains FPS

,----[ Quote ]
| Linux game programmer Ryan "Icculus" Gordon has released a native Linux 
| client for Prey, a two-year-old first-person shooter (FPS) game from Human 
| Head Studios. The client requires users to purchase a copy of the title for 
| Windows PCs.

Steam Linux on the way? Left 4 Dead carries Linux binaries

,----[ Quote ]
| Though some will protest that its DRM system is detestable, Valve's Steam 
| platform is by far one of the best compromises between publishers and gamers, 
| and it's a key contributor to the overall health of PC gaming. Valve has 
| gradually developed the once-despised platform into something worth 
| supporting, but if there is any one remaining flaw of the system, it's that 
| the service is not cross-platform compatible. However, if some snoopers who 
| have found Linux binaries in Valve code are correct, that may need a 
| qualifying "yet."

Linux Gaming Console Coming in November

,----[ Quote ]
| Envizions Computer Entertainment announced recently that the Linux-based EVO
| gaming console will be available for sale November 18.
|
| There have been dedicated gaming consoles that are able to run Linux, namely
| the PS3. In these cases, Linux made the console function more as a home
| computer than a gaming rig. The EVO system uses Linux to power the games.
