Undertale, As Told By Steam Reviews

Undertale came out of nowhere and turned RPGs upside-down with its deft mix of emotions, dogs, emotions, and more dogs. It’s become one of the biggest games on Steam. Undertale currently has nearly 30,000 Steam reviews, a whopping 97 percent of which are positive. As I discussed in my own review, this is a game…

Deadbolt is the newest game from the developers of the severely underrated Risk of Rain—here’s a trailer Best part? It’s coming out early this year and there’s already a playable demo of the game. Looks a bit like Gunpoint to me! You can reach the author of this post at [email protected] or on Twitter at…

Counter-Strike’s new gloves look snazzy. Valve decided to ring in a new year of CSGO by giving your in-game hands a modern makeover.

Stepmania Played At Super Speed Is Just Not Human

“So this is very, very stamina-intense,” said a commentator watching the Stepmania run at Awesome Games Done Quick 2016 yesterday. “On really hard songs… you actually become mentally tired as well. It’s not just your hands. You actually get tired.” What followed was one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen someone do with a…

Just Cause 3 Is Perfect For Playing Jenga

Giant cargo containers, silly physics and a grappling hook. The perfect tools for a Just Cause 3 version of Jenga. The rules are the same in teamcream’s video. You build a tower and take one block from any level of the tower (except the one below an incomplete level) and place it on the topmost…

Latest Simpsons Couch Gag Is A Homage To 80s Action Shows

The couch gag on The Simpsons will be little bit special (and longer) this week. It’s an 80s-themed one, filled with neon lights and a beefy Homer. It might be boring to see another clip with all these well-known, over-the-top 80s references, but the redesigned Simpsons characters (especially Flanders) make the whole thing pretty good.…

Ark: Survival Evolved Mod Lets You Make Disgusting Meat Houses

Well, this sure is… uhhh. That is to say… er. Hm. Ever wanted to live in a house made of glistening meat, blanched bones, and striated fibers, all pulsating together in nauseating harmony?

Four Years Later, Crusader Kings II Keeps Getting More Stuff

Crusader Kings II was released in 2012, and promptly became my Game Of The Year. And that was in its paltry vanilla state! In the years since, it’s gotten so much new content and so many big expansions that it’s practically become its own sequel. The latest is called Conclave, and unlike the expansions which…

Look At This Legend Of Zelda Action Figure

For over three years, Figma’s Skyward Sword effort has been the best Zelda figure you could buy. In 2016, there’s a new challenger approaching.
