Summer Session is a manga dating simulation game with multiple endings from Tycoon Games (www.tycoongames.eu)

Riva Celso, programmer/designer of Tycoon Games stated "I am very happy about the result we obtained with Summer Session. It is a fun game with hilarious dialogue and intriguing characters, and very replayable thanks to the multiple endings."

Summer Session is available for Linux platforms, and was made in collaboration with Hanako Games, a well known site for anime games fans. In the game you play the role of Julius, a socially-awkward young guy taking summer classes at his university. During his time at the campus he'll meet several characters, from his cute classmates to his sexy biology teacher. What will it take to get a date with one of them? Every choice you make affects Julius's skills and his reputation with the other characters. Lift weights and buy new clothes to impress the ladies, but don't forget your schoolwork – if you fail the final exam, you'll lose your chance at love! Play your cards right and you'll unlock special endings.

A free demo is available from Tycoon Games website at www.tycoongames.eu .

Screenshots of the game:

Feudal Times is a world where you become a king, where you rule a small town and where you will make a great empire. Diplomacy, economy, town and army management, are the bases of every empire, how you mix them all is up to you.

This is the first browser based game to be realised open source. Written in PHP5, MySQL, JavaScript, it already allows anyone to download it's source code via SVN:
svn co https://feudaltimes.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/feudaltimes feudaltimes
Feudal Times is a Persistent Browser Based Multiplayer Game (PBBMG). Persistent because the game continues even if you aren't online. The buildings are being built, resources are being collected. You don't have to sit hours in front of your PC to achieve good level in FT, it's enough to visit it 2 or 3 times a day for about 15 minutes.

A San Francisco based company, Unknown Worlds, are in the process of making a sequel to the top hl1 mod 'Natural Selection'.

Natural Selection 2 won't be a mod, like the original, and will be made using their own in-house engine. They haven't confirmed anything about platforms and a lot of people on their community forums are showing interest in cross platform versions.

To find out more about NS2, look at the blog, feature list, and media.

Now is the perfect time to show your interest in a Linux version by posting in this thread.

Cheers!

From CodeWeavers Announce:

I am happy to announce that we have now released version 7.1.0 of CrossOver Games, for both the Mac and for Linux.

This new version is largely an incremental improvement; it fixes a range of bugs in a number of games. It also includes a full merge with the Wine 1.0 code base, so this is now a 'post Wine 1.0' version of CrossOver Games.

A full change log is included, below.

If you are an existing CrossOver customer with an active support entitlement, you can visit our web site to download this latest version: Also I want to remind folks that with CrossOver Games, we're really trying do much more rapid releases. So, although we've tested this carefully and feel pretty good about it, if you have a working configuration, you might just want to skip this one. Or at the very least, archive your bottles before you upgrade.
