I’m very pleased to announce that Ubuntu Gamer, the gaming website we’ve been working on for a while, is now live and ready for action!

Ubuntu Gamer extends the Ohso network of sites even further, but this time specializing in gaming on Ubuntu. You will probably notice that a lot of elements bare a very close similarity to OMG! Ubuntu! – this is entirely on purpose. We have re-used a lot of the code for Ubuntu Gamer to make sure it has that consistent Ohso network feel.

So why should you visit Ubuntu Gamer? We have…

  • The latest gaming news, videos and screenshots
  • Game and hardware reviews
  • Editorial pieces about gaming on Ubuntu, and more widely, Linux
  • Downloads for free games
  • Special offers and competitions
  • Discounts on paid games

We’ve worked hard on the site over the past few weeks, and of course it will constantly be undergoing improvement as we figure out what sort of style we would like to go for.
The staff is made up of familiar faces such as myself, Joey, Tyler and Nixie, but I’d also like to introduce a couple of new writers to the foray:

Ed Hewitt

Ed is a 19 year old UK student studying computer networking. A self proclaimed gaming geek and Ubuntu lover, he’s fully in the know and up to date with the state of gaming on Ubuntu. For those of you who read Full Circle Magazine, you might recognize Ed as the writer for the gaming column.

Tommy Brunn

Tommy is a Swedish student studying IT, but also an independent game developer. In combination with his partner in crime, Bart van Strien, they will be responsible for a lot of the games that come out of the Ohso software factory. Tommy brings an excellent insight into the back-end of software development on Ubuntu, and his articles will provide an interesting look “behind the scenes” of making games on Ubuntu.

Don’t forget, you can follow Ubuntu Gamer on Twitter and like it on Facebook. We hope you enjoy the site!
