Valve has now publicly announced the dates of the second half of this year’s planned Steam sales, both major and minor alike. They’ve also revealed the dates for 2025’s Steam Next Fests, those glorious occasions when we can all download tons more demos of upcoming games than we could ever realistically play within a week. I shall now cover the deluge of dates Valve has decreed so that we can all…

Is PC Gaming Reaching a Singularity?

David Sanders — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 18:00:39 +0000

I realized something a couple of nights ago. Toward the end of 2024, Rockstar Games finally ported the original Red Dead Redemption to PC and released it on Steam and Epic. Ubisoft has been adding Steam achievements to much of its catalog for a while now and has pledged to release Assassin’s Creed Shadows on Steam and Epic on day one. Just a couple of weeks ago, EA re-released complete editions of…

Cozy Pixel Fishing Sim Cast n Chill Announced

Taylor Bauer — Tue, 04 Feb 2025 14:00:36 +0000

The concept of idle gaming is not necessarily new. For years, games have attempted to invite you to play them even when you’re not actively playing them. This may include bringing your Pokewalker with you as you move about the day or stepping away to let crops grow in a farming sim while you do other activities. A brand new game that was announced for release this June includes a similar idle…

Dynasty Warriors: Origins (Xbox Series X) Review

Taylor Bauer — Tue, 28 Jan 2025 18:00:32 +0000

One of my favorite game franchises of the PS2 era, Dynasty Warriors, gets a lot of flack from the larger gaming community. It’s a button masher; you’re facing mostly hordes of helpless enemies, and you’re simply spamming until you can hit a single button and kill hundreds of people at a time. Exactly, that’s why it’s wonderful. The story of the Three Kingdoms era is told through the series…

With Steam Sales coming about on a more frequent basis than ever, it seems each genre is getting their time to shine. I sunk a pretty penny into the Bullet Heaven fest last month, and now it’s time for a fan favorite genre to receive a ton of discounts to encourage players to put dozens of hours into them. Real-time strategy games are cherished for their quick-thinking gameplay…

Spirit City: Lofi Sessions is Perfect for New Years Resolutions

Taylor Bauer — Tue, 24 Dec 2024 16:00:20 +0000

On one of my monitors, the one to the left of the screen on which I’m typing this, an anime-style character is also typing at a computer. She’s accompanied by her spirit cat, and the fireplace nearby is decorated for the holidays. Believe it or not, she’s helping me keep my busy end-of-the-year organized. This is the goal of Spirit City: Lofi Sessions. We often make resolutions for the New Year…

David’s Steam Winter Sale 2024 Recommendations

David Sanders — Tue, 24 Dec 2024 14:00:11 +0000

The weather this past summer was obscenely hot in my hometown, so to say I’m glad winter is finally here is one heck of an understatement. No matter how cold it might be outside, there are tons of hot deals to be had on Steam between now and January 2nd, 2025. I’m here once again to recommend a decently long list of discounted games with which I’ll most definitely be curling up under a blanket for…

Steam Winter Sale 2024 Deep Discount Suggestions

Mike Reitemeier — Fri, 20 Dec 2024 16:00:37 +0000

As the Steam Winter Sale kicks off for 2024 and lasts until early January, there’s a vast wealth of games that are on sale. While some newer or AAA games may only be 10 or 20 percent off, some games are offered at insane discounts of 90 and even 95 percent. With some of those discounts from games originally priced at 50 or 60 dollars, it’s still nuts to think you could be paying a tenth of what it…

Steam Winter Sale 2024 Details

Mike Reitemeier — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 16:00:41 +0000

Steam and sales go hand-in-hand, as Valve’s gaming marketplace has been considered the best way to buy digital PC games for two decades now. The first game I ever bought on the platform was LA Noire with my very first laptop, and it was coincidentally on sale for a mere $4.99. Ever since I got bit by the bargain bug, my library has become a treasure trove of games I could spend the rest of my life…

Pro-Palestinian Game Banned by Counter Terror unit

Keiran McEwen — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 16:00:37 +0000

Let’s get two things straight, and one thing gay: Killing someone is generally frowned upon as it should, and governments restricting only very specific types of “artistic” endeavors are quite annoying. Honestly, I don’t have a third thing here that is gay, I just wanted to make it light-hearted before I have to talk about something serious. As you might have seen, given that Etsy has decided to…
