It has been nearly four months since Unreal Tournament 3 first shipped for the PC, while the Linux client is still missing in action due to software legal issues. At the same time, Linux Game Publishing is running late on delivering their Linux ports of both Bandits: Phoenix Rising and X3: Reunion. Over the past couple of quarters it's definitely been an unpleasant time for the Linux commercial gaming scene, but this week there is good news coming out of Finland and that is two games -- both relatively new to the marketplace -- being ported to Linux.

Both Shadowgronds and Shadowgrounds Survivor are Sci-Fi action games, but unlike the conventional first-person shooter, the game-play consists of both third-person/top-down views while fighting off aliens. Shadowgrounds Survivor is the sequel to Shadowgrounds where the last remaining humans ward off alien forces. The level editor for Shadowgrounds Survivor is also being ported to Linux.
