That’s *not* cheap!
I wonder when they’ll release the PPC edition.
Nice to see decent games finally making it to the Linux Platform (even if it is quite old, I bought Sims for Windows a year or more ago)
Obviously there has been games all along, but for somebody like me not into FPS or Board type games there was not much choice. Where are the big hits.
I just wonder how games perform, my previous experience is that the platform is far from ready for fast modern games due to performance/configuration and driver problems, but this may have changed recently.
Still, any games news is good news!
