Counter-Strike: Global Offensive’s New Game Mode
Last month, we found out that one of my favorite games, Counter-Strike, was getting a re-release of sorts onto consoles as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Loaded with new maps, updated classic maps from the original game, new game modes, ranked matchmaking, cross-platform play, leaderboards, new weapons, and more, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is going to absolutely kill any free time I may o...[Read More]
Counter-Strike Returns in CS:GO
I know this will probably lower some opinions of me, but I don’t particularly care for the Half-Life series. The only thing I really appreciate at all about Half-Life is that it served as the base for one of my favorite games of all time: Counter-Strike. Back in a time when I was still on dial-up, I spent many hours (and many dollars) at local LAN/Online game centers playing de_rats, de_dust...[Read More]
Portal 2 DLC Announced
You know how I feel about Portal 2. It’s the only game I’ve given a perfect score (and may, in fact, be the only game that we, as a whole, have given a perfect score to, though some others have come tantalizingly close). The only imperfect thing about it is that there weren’t more test chambers, gameplay modes, or leaderboards. If ONLY there were some way to add those features po...[Read More]
Review: Portal 2 (360)
I spent the latter half of this past Saturday humming random bars from Jonathan Coulton’s brilliantly written ending credits song for the original Portal, Still Alive (We do what we must, because we can…)* After a handful of bars, my wife turned to me and asked, with more than a hint of exasperation, “Am I going to have to listen to you humming that all weekend?” I regretfu...[Read More]
The PS3 is Your Portal to Steam
Not only is that a rather clever headline, but it’s the truth. The PS3 is the first console to have Steam support, Portal 2 is how you get it, and we have the details here.
Valve & Nexon Team Up for Vindictus Fun
For today, and today only, players of Vindictus are in for a special treat as they’ll need to help two familiar Valve characters find their way home. Players level 10 and above will be able to take part in the special quest “Strange Travelers” that will be activated by speaking with Emmass at the Inn in Colhen.
GLaDOS & Co. Are In Your TV
Portal 2 is almost a month away and Valve wants to make sure you don’t forget it! Coming soon to TVs everywhere are GLaDOS and her robot friends in a new trailer commercial for the much-anticipated sequel to the highly-revered Portal. I’m a sucker for cute things, and these robots are definitely to my liking.
Go Further Into Portal 2
I have seen some Portal 2 stuff at PAX. My friends, Aperture Science is back and doing more science-y things that will generally end badly for you. And by badly I mean really well. And by really well I mean really fun. And by really fun I mean…well, that’s it. It’s fun.
Prepare 4 The Sacrifice In Left 4 Dead
You see what I did with that 4 in the title? Yeah Valve, I can be clever with words that sound like numbers too.
Valve Working On DotA Remake?
A while back, I heard that Valve hired Defense of the Ancients (DotA) developer Icefrog into their team. With Heroes of Newerth and League of Legends in development, the former being a DotA clone and the latter a DotA revisualization by original members, a Valve version didn’t seem to cross my mind. I mean, they should be working on Half Life 2: Episode 3, am I right? Anyhoo, since Valve is...[Read More]
Alien Swarm on Steam
A couple weeks back, Valve, a company who is well known for such huge hits such as Portal, Left for Dead 1 and 2 and innumerable incarnations of Half-life, released a new multi-player game, Alien Swarm.
