The Steam community is certainly a productive bunch. In total, thelast two weeks gave us one-hundred and thirty seven new Greenlight titles to look forward to. That’s… rather impressive.

Alec Baldwin, he of 30 Rock, Hunt For Red October and Beetlejuice fame, was once offered an “incomprehensible amount of money” to lend his voice to a Grand Theft Auto game. And he said…no. “[The makers of] ‘Grand Theft Auto’ came to me to do a voice of some mobster, many years ago, for ‘Grand…

That’s A Neat Party Trick, DualShock 4 [Update]

Designer Cory Schmitz is one of the early adopters of a DualShock 4 controller, and found that it can do…this. Weird trick, though surely getting the balance that right means they did it on purpose.

Think You Can Wait For Assassin’s Creed IV On PC?

Assassin’s Creed IV, like most other big games from Ubisoft, is coming later on PC. You’d think they’d have sorted this out by now. Ungh. So the question is, if you’re impatient, will the fancier visuals of the PC edition make it worth waiting nearly a month for if you already own a 360, PS3…

Deadly Premonition On PC Looks Like Complete S**t (But There’s A Fix)

Weird-ass Japanese horror game Deadly Premonition has made it to the PC! That’s the good news. The bad news is that, like Dark Souls before it, this Japanese game has been ported to the PC in a sorry state indeed. Seems the game’s locked at 720p, acceptable for console gaming on a TV, perhaps, but…

Yummy Mummy: The Snacktaku Monster Cereals Review Spooktacular

The Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, surrounded by servants and draped in gold and jewels, were considered gods among their people, but godhood came with a price. They served their people in life. They served them in death. They served them breakfast for all eternity. In the case of Fruity Yummy Mummy, all of eternity lasted…

A Quick Tour of Battlefield 4’s Multiplayer Maps

This isn’t just any quick over view of the many places you’ll attack, defend and possibly even kill other dudes in: it’s a quick tour of most of the Battlefield 4 multiplayer maps on the “Ultra” graphics setting on PC. Which is to say, this is about as pretty as it can it can get.…

A Freakishly Cool Game Where You Invade The Memories Of Dead People

Master Reboot is a psychological horror adventure game where dead people’s memories are uploaded to the cloud…the soul cloud.

Assassin’s Creed IV On PS4 Is Worth The Extra Wait

The big pirate adventure Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is out today for PlayStation 3, Wii U and Xbox 360. But in a couple of weeks, it’ll be out on next-gen consoles and PC. I played through the entire game on PlayStation 3 (and I liked it), and I also spent a good chunk of…

Don’t Expect Titanfall 2 To Be A Microsoft Exclusive

Titanfall is a Microsoft exclusive. Like, a proper one, in that it won’t ever be coming to the PlayStation. That’s news for gamers, but until recently it was also news to one of the guys…running the company making the game. Respawn boss Vince Zampella has posted on Twitter that while Titanfall was always going to…
