As Eddward puts it: <blockquote><i> My intent and hope is to create a centralized place where Linux users can go to find a list of games expected to come out for Linux as well as providing a place for commercial game developers to test the water so to speak if they are on the fence about developing or porting a game for Linux.</i></blockquote> For more details, check out Eddward's <a href="http://happypenguin.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=471">introduction</a>, then visit the new <a href="http://happypenguin.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=13">Project List</a> forum to see what goodies are in store for us. Announcing the upcoming commercial games list default
