Jellanders brings us this excellent Overwatch moment in which a Genji player makes a brilliant recovery after an attempted suicide kill by Reinhardt. Anybody else getting Smash Bros vibes from this one? Here’s the full thing: To contact the author of this post, write to [email protected] or find him on Twitter @vahn16
XCOM 2 can be stressful as fuck. Thank goodness for Bob Ross and his soothing tones. Also his terrifying talent with a plasma rifle. With the help of an expansive voice pack and some in-game character tinkering, you can have renowned snake charmer of the demons of the human soul (also painter/Twitch star) Bob Ross…
Valve’s new VR performance test program contains a two-minute snippet of the infamous Portal-themed Aperture Robot Repair demo. But there’s also more, if you know where to look. SteamDB and ValveTime dug through the code of an older version of the performance test, and they unearthed all sorts of interesting artifacts from Valve’s earlier attempts…
Supernatural crimes? Turn-based tactics? A detective main character who sounds like when he says he wants a whiskey on the rocks, he means jagged shards of gravel? Gee, Witch House, it seems an awful lot like you’re trying to get my attention. Witch House takes place in the prohibition era. More specifically, it’s set in…
My first play session with Devil Daggers, a new ‘90s-inspired shooter on Steam, lasted five seconds. When I’m playing Devil Daggers, my face pretty much always looks like this: Because of this: Devil Daggers is not what I would call a kind game. Everything about it is leering, hostile, agonized. The game’s sole room is…
A few weeks ago, a pirate-themed RPG called Vendetta: Curse of Raven’s Cry vanished from the Steam store. At that point, it was surrounded on all sides by (unproven) allegations of fake reviews and shady dealings. Flash forward to now: people still can’t figure out precisely why it disappeared. I’ve been keeping a close eye…
There’s a big new Counter-Strike update out, and it’s really good! …Mostly. On top of everything else, the update added a whole host of community maps, including one set in Turkey. Problem: some players claim that one is full of insulting inaccuracies. The map, titled Mikla, was initially just a footnote in an update that…
Whoever wrote the text for the Steam page of Cities: Skylines’ Snowfall expansion belongs in the punnitentiary. Here’s the full thing. It really is… something: Thanks to Campo Santo’s Ben Burbank for tweeting this out.
Paragon is a game that’s had an eventful pre-life. Its first stabs at marketing were remarkably unclear, and it has the dubious honor of blocking a guy named Muhammad Khan because of a government block list mix-up. The game itself? Less remarkable, so far. Paragon is, to put it simply, a big ol’ MOBA stew.…
XCOM 2 is easily my favorite game of the year so far. It also has serious performance issues. It’s been two weeks since the game launched, and unfortunately, today’s update does little to alleviate them. The update was intended to fix crashing problems and “some” performance issues. In the former area, at least, it seems…
Nothing but (battle) net. Overwatch player alphajew actually scored a basket with one of the starter area basketballs on new map Lijiang Tower. I’ve been trying to do this for days. Let us all bow before our new Master of Hoops.
A couple characters in Overwatch, Torbjörn and Bastion, use turrets. They are pretty ridiculous. Automated turrets are a staple in first-person shooters, including obvious Overwatch inspiration Team Fortress 2. Torbjörn actually has quite a bit in common with TF2’s Engineer class; he even bonks the crap out of his handy dandy fun-sized murder machine to…
Team Fortress 2 hats have finally gone too far
If you grab them right now, Jet Set Radio and a handful of other Sega games aren’t just free for the moment; they’re yours to keep. Sega’s running their third annual Make War Not Love strategy game marathon on Steam this week, but regardless of who wins, everybody else… also wins. Already, the showdown between…
We Know The Devil is a game that involves, well, the devil. Obviously, it deserves to be sold at a price point of $6.66. Obviously. Unfortunately, that’s not something Steam allows. We Know The Devil, a Really Quite Good visual novel about queerness, summer camp, and religious horror, has been available on publisher Date Nighto’s…
A game about a living city… and the people who want to kill it. A Place For The Unwilling just popped up on Steam Greenlight and Kickstarter. Its tagline: “Sunless Sea meets Majora’s Mask in a living city.” So basically, it aims to be a strange story sandbox where time is always a factor. Iiiinteresting.
Overwatch is remarkably polished for a game in beta testing, but… it’s still a game in beta testing. Overwatch’s “play of the game” feature is great. It’s a nice way to cap off a match, showing a player wrecking shop in the kills or heals department. When you earn it, it feels amazing. When somebody…
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is one of the most beloved Star Wars games ever made. Soon, it might also be one of the most beloved Star Wars games ever re-made. Apeiron (probably not pronounced “Ape Iron,” but I can dream) is a fan effort that aims to remake the entirety of the…
The first uncensored sex game on Steam is finally out. In the past, Steam versions of visual novels with adult elements have had nudity removed, but yuri game Kindred Spirits on the Roof is beholden to no such rule. Have you played it? What do you think?
