New games out for Linux

Tomb Raider

Tomb Raider is now officially available for Linux. Tomb Raider is the intense and gritty origin story of Lara Croft, following her tranformation into skilled killer and survivor. Here is what Gaming on Linux has to say about the game:

The combat really does feel really good, with an assortment of different weapons available to you and stealth is even an option. You don’t always want to go in guns blazing, you do have the option at times to also sneak up behind unsuspecting victims for a nice stealth kill.

Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf

Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf recently launched with full Linux support and it actually looks pretty good. Here is what Gaming on Linux has to say about the game:

I find golf games to be incredibly boring myself, it's one of the few things I actually prefer to just go out with a few friends and play for real. I doubt everyone has a golf course within walking distance though, so like everything it will have plenty of fans.
