Black Mesa Blue Shift
Black Mesa is a re-make of the original Half-Life but using the matured Source engine and it is a Beautifully crafted game! It's so good that it is no longer a mod but a full game! I will never play the original Half-Life because Black Mesa is a thousand times better and more enjoyable!
As if that wasn't enough... HECU Collective team has been working on a remake of Blue Shift in the same manner... Dude this game is stunning and so very fun! Even without Gordon's suit there is a lot of fun to be had! Re-live the story of Barney Calhoun in high resolution and beautiful graphics! Not to mention some interesting new weapons and creative tools for solving puzzles... Never get tired of that!

The Darkness II in Proton
Jackie Estacado is a young mob boss who's girlfriend was murdered two years ago. The darkness within gave sweet revenge, but Jackie isn't prepared for the coming war.
Unleash the inner weapons of Darkness on the Brotherhood and find truth! Wield evil weapons and avoid the light! The Brother is aware of Jackie's abilities and prepared to to defend themselves!
Steam and Proton handled The Darkness II perfectly! Expect some stuttering as the game caches during gameplay... otherwise it runs GREAT! Wielding the serpents abilities is a lot of fun!

Brutal Doom 64 in Proton
Remember Nintendo Doom 64?
A whole new chapter of Doom not a re-make of the original! Wielding the classic arsenal including the double-shotgun, but immerses you in new levels, creatures and new special effects! Brutal Doom 64 is a remake of this Nintendo classic!
I really really tried to get the native Linux version running! First played with GZDoom and the pk3 files... but it was a no go!
Then found the developer supplied a native version and it complained about missing libraries. So of course I found them in my Steam directory and did some copy/paste into the Doom 64 directory, but multiple errors and not worth the trouble. Finally I attempted the tried-n-true Proton with the Windows executable and it worked! Beautifully!

STALKER Clear Sky in Proton
In Clear Sky you are a mercenary following the story of Strelok from Shadow of Chernobyl. Beginning in the swamps you will explore all of the original locations with even more beautiful graphics and special effects. Join Duty or Freedom and take out bandits... or don't join either and help Stalkers against mutants, zombies and more.
Graphics in the original vanilla game have been completely overhauled from the original game. Fast travel has been implemented in each map and now finding artifacts has to be earned. Enjoy similar weapons Shadow of Chernobyl and some new ones like the Gauss rifle. Can you stop Strelok from enabling the emission that will end our world?
Unfortunately there are some game breaking dialog bugs in the "Enhanced Edition" that would not allow me to progress from the farm in the beginning. After much research, this happens in Windows as well. So I was forced to play the GOG vanilla version of Clear...
