Valve have announced their very own Steam operating system, based on Linux. Those of you that have used Linux will know one of its biggest flaws - one that has been really improved upon in the last few years - is its lack of gaming support, and Valve hope to change that. By having the openness of Linux and the ease-of-use of Steam, SteamOS hopes to be a fun, free alternative to current operating systems in widespread use.

Ever since Steam announced that they'd be announcing three things very shortly, there has been a lot of theorizing. Some of it has been based on actual evidence - Left 4 Dead 3 showing up in a picture from Valve HQ for instance - and some of it has been a little less... scientific - OH MY GOD, THERE ARE THREE ANNOUNCEMENTS, HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED. It seems those ideas are wrong, however, as Marc Laidlaw confirms that the three announcements are specifically about Steam.

A new console is to be announced next week, this time from PC giant Steam. Rumours of a Steam Box have been prolific over the last few years and it appears there's no smoke without fire. A countdown timer went up on the Steam website today, promising a new way of "connecting the dots" for gamers in the living room.

This is one of those stories that will be incredible if true. A Redditor, ShakaShaka, is claiming to have been posted a free boxed copy of Mists of Pandaria. In a post entitled “Blizzard is getting desperate,” ShakaShaka shows off the package he claims was from Blizzard, and some of the convincing marketing materials he received alongside it. Without any history to go along with it, it’s hard to know the exact circumstances of the package being delivered. Outside of…

After playing through chapter one of The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief, I walked away with mixed feelings. The puzzles were a mess, and the story was a downright bore until Constable Zellner hopped aboard a ship headed to Cairo to continue his search for The Raven, who is hell bent on stealing the second Eye of the Sphinx. It was during this final act, with the murder on the ship, the detective work that followed, and the cliffhanger ending, where the game finally piqued my interest in the next episode, Chapter II: Ancestry of Lies.

Finally! GTAV is mere hours away from releasing worldwide. Are you excited? Are you one of the lucky few who got it early? Needless to say, it's my most anticipated game since.. well since GTAIV I suppose. Still though, let's not forget all those other releases this week too. Hot Wheels, PES 2014 and Zelda HD are just some of the games brave enough to release this week.

While everyone was still celebrating the announcement of DuckTales: Remastered, the reveal of another modernization of a bit-era Disney classic flew by everyone's radar: Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse.

We all knew it would be only a matter of time before someone used Oculus Rift for something less savoury than becoming a space ship pilot or exploring villages. Austrian developer ThriXXX are hard at work creating a different sort of experience, an experience that will allow you to "look in on the fantasies of others."

Owners of Project Zomboid on the Desura platform will now be able to redeem their codes through the Steam platform, ahead of the games release through the Early Access initiative. If you’ve already bought Zomboid through Desura, simply go to the “keys” section of your account and your Steam key will be there waiting for you. The developers, via their Greenlight page, stress that this isn’t technically an official release, but rather the first step towards an official release. By…

A petition has been launched at Change.org in the hopes of preventing Rockstar from ever releasing a PC version of Grand Theft Auto V. Why? "So PC gamers learn their lesson and stop stealing games."
