CrossOver Games for Linux was originally released back in March (CrossOver Games Preview), but the CodeWeavers team is still busy driving new features and games into both CrossOver Office and Crossover Games. The latest example of this comes with the release of CrossOver Games 7.1.

A new Development release is ready. This is the third release in the 1.5.x tree. A lot was changed since the start of the stable 1.4.x branch and since I am too lazy to list all the great changes in here, better have a look at the forum thread which describes the most important changes. As with the last releases, we continue to offer two versions of changelogs: a rather nice to read players changelog that only includes changes every player will probably notice and the (rather) complete changelog with (almost) all the details, which is likely to cause a serious headache…
At the moment no binaries are ready. It might be a while until binaries are ready due to changes in the dependencies and most of our packagers being busy but once they are done you can find them at the download page. Please keep in mind that it is a development release which might include quite many bugs. If you find one, report it.
We have now released an alpha version of our upcoming 0.8.0 release. The alpha version is unstable and does not include all of the features that will eventually be added. You can use the alpha version for checking out new features and finding bugs. Please report any bug you might encounter using our bug tracker.
New features added by this release:
0.9.5 is here!
New in this version we have a whole new taunt system, you can enter commands such as /wave and /sad whilst your go is active to make your hedghog taunt!
We have much prettier explosions!
We have new maps!
We have sudden death!
and more!
Go and get it in the download section, spread the word, we want to get Hedgewars out there to everyone!
Word War vi is your basic side-scrolling shoot ‘em up ’80s style arcade game. You pilot your “vi”per craft through core memory, rescuing lost .swp files, avoiding OS defenses, and wiping out those memory hogging emacs processes. When all the lost .swp files are rescued, head for the socket which will take you to the next node in the cluster.
You might notice some similarity to Defender or Stargate, and perhaps Scramble, and if you liked those games, you’re apt to like this game. There are plenty of differences from those games as well though, some might say it’s really “neo-retro,” rather than purely retro.

It’s been 234 days (or just shy of eight months) since Unreal Tournament 3 had shipped for the PC. Most would have thought the Linux client for this title from Epic Games would have arrived by now, but sadly it hasn’t and there is no sign of when it will arrive.
Recently, Epic’s Jeff “WarTourist” Morris has stopped by the Phoronix Forums…
