Shadowgrounds breathes fresh air into the action genre with explosive combat sequences, an innovative weapon upgrade system, and an intriguing storyline. The adrenaline-pumping, top-down gameplay and audiovisual fireworks set the scene for this new action experience which also includes single computer (split keyboard or joystick) co-op play.

Two small (texture replacement and/or with small gameplay tweaks) mods for Shadowgrounds are now supported on Desura. In fact, these two are the only released ones - although both installments of Shadowgrounds have an extensive modding support, there's very little modding activity from the community itself, and more SG levels than mods saw daylight.
Shadowgrounds is easily moddable, all you need is to copy appropriate game files to your own directory in "Mods" folder and start changing textures, scripts, etc. There's also one hidden flaw - there are no model exporters/importers released.
On the other hand, source code of Shadowgrounds and its sequel executables are available. Perhaps there's still much room to mod independent games such as SG.

Can some one help or is this just one of those old games that's not going to play nice with Xubuntu and my hardware?
Maybe have a look at this?

A quick review of this game from a while back
Had a weird error when trying to install the demo.
There was an error during the gathering information process and it has been stopped.
Branch is invalid or user doesn't have permissions to install branch. [42.0]
But, it's Frozenbyte, and I loved Trine and got Trine 2 for free (PS+ is great) so I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and for once spend money on a game before playing a demo.
Are you trying to install it on Linux? Demo is Windows-only, unfortunately. Only the full version has both Linux & Windows version on here.
This game is co0l !
I wish someone made a 1st person mod for this
On Ubuntu 12.04; The problem seems to be in libm.so.6 referencing GLIBC_2.15 in libpulse.so.0 and libvorbis.so.0
Then why don't you rename or remove libm.so.6 and use the one from your system? You *do* know so files are comparable to dll's, don't you? Basic problem, basic solution. Works fine on Archlinux x86_64.
I supplied them with a list of potentially problematic libraries, and they added it to their FAQ:
