Steam for Linux is one of the best news we’ve gotten this year, even though it’s not even launched yet. Even better, the list of games that will be supported by Steam has just increased and there’s no sign it’s slowing down.

A lot of games made their appearance last week, but a large number of games have just been added. The Steam launch on Linux has been treated with the upmost consideration by Valve and they’re not pulling any punches.

As usual, the information about games with Linux support that will be available is taken from the CDR database. So far, the information provided by this source has proven to be extremely reliable, but it should be treated with skepticism nonetheless.

Galcon Fusion is a high-paced multi-player galactic arcade-strategy game. Players can send swarms of ships to defeat enemy planets and conquer the universe.

VVVVVV is not a typo, but a retro-styled 2D platformer by Terry Cavanagh, creator of dozens of free games.

Serious Sam 3: BFE is one of the heavy hitters that made the transition to Steam. Last week only the server was announced for Linux, but this week Serious Sam has been confirmed.

Trine 2 is a sidescrolling game of action, puzzles and platforming where users play as one of Three Heroes who make their way through dangers untold, in a fantastical fairytale world. Check out our review of it.

We also reviewed Braid a while ago and we found it to be quite interesting, with a few great concepts implemented in a 2D platformer.

Cogs is a puzzle game where players build machines from sliding tiles. It might seem simple as a concept, but as we have discovered in our review, is nothing but simple.

Aquaria is an action-adventure game set in a underwater world teeming with life and filled with ancient secrets.

Multiwinia is a multiplayer game in which you can challenge your opponent to a game of stick-man slaughter.

Uplink is a hacking simulation, built to resemble the overly optimistic movie concepts about hacking and international conspiracies. Check out our review.

Darwinia is a fast-paced action with strategic battle planning. Player can control a number of entities, inside a computer and battle nasty viruses.

The last title on our list is Killing Floor, a co-op Survival Horror FPS set in the devastated cities and countryside of England, after a series of cloning experiments for the military went horribly wrong.

CDR Database is a record of data that describes every Steam game and subscription provided by Valve for the Steam service. Usually, the new entries in the Steam database are firstly visible in the CDR Database before their official launch.
