Octodad: Dadliest Catch is currently available for Windows, Mac and Linux with a PlayStation 4 release is in the works. All versions support local co-op, and all buyers should absolutely give it a try. Flip on roulette mode and watch as each player's controllable limbs are randomized after each objective. It's octo-insanity, it is.

At a recent announcement, publisher Devolver Digital announced that Duke Nukem 3D, the classic first person shooter, now officially supports cross platform multiplayer as well as co-op, after exactly 18 years the original game hit the market. So now players from Linux, Mac or Windows can join up and start fragging. Up to eight players can join a single game. So if you always wanted to shoot those Windows or Mac gamers smack in the middle of their eyes with Duke, or perhaps squash them under your boots, now’s your time to live out that fantasy.

If you took my advice and got Trine 2 or have been a fan of the Trine series, and were wishing that the original Trine was on Steam too, then it is your lucky day! The original Trine, according to the developers, is getting a major update that will make it land on Steam. The same update will also include a new Linux port for the game onto Steam, thus making the Steam version playable on Linux too.

Unigine Corp has shared that their flagship advanced 3D engine, which originally was targeted for games but is now seeing greater use within simulators and professional 3D visualization areas, is forking into Unigine Sim and Unigine Game.
-
Full Control, developers of the Space Hulk video game adaptation which launched last year, have successfully ported the game over to Linux.
-
Space Hulk now officially has a fully open beta test of the game on Linux available for all gamers who have purchased a copy on Steam.
-
Full Control’s Space Hulk, the studio’s adaptation of the Warhammer 40,000 board-game, is now available on Linux.

The ability to stream games around the house would be cool in and of itself, but Valve's in-home streaming technology needs to succeed if the company wants its upstart SteamOS operating system and the associated ecosystem of Steam Machines to catch on in the living room. Because SteamOS is a Linux-based operating system, it falls victim to the age-old Linux gaming problem: There simply aren't many native Linux games.
