Humble Bundle with Android 7 Launches
For all those amongst you feeling charitable, there's a new Humble Bundle available. The Humble Bundle with Android 7 doesn't quite match the quality of some of the more recent bundles, but it sure as hell beats the comedy collection they did. If you fancy some decent games at a relatively small price, look no further.
Urban Chaos Released on Steam
Popular title Urban Chaos has been re-released on Steam. If you owned a PlayStation, PC or Dreamcast at the turn of the millennium, you'll probably at least remember its striking lead character and its dark "urban jungle" setting.
Grand Theft Auto V Out for PC Early 2014
It appears that PC gamers, particularly those among the (almost) 600,000 that signed this Change.org petition, are going to get what they want. As Eurogamer reported earlier, according to multiple industry sources, Grand Theft Auto V will be released on PC during the first quarter of 2014. Who these sources are is currently unclear, but it stands to reason that this news is probably accurate given Intel’s claim that they don’t expect GTAV to be just a console exclusive, not…
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West Coming to PC, Re-released on PS3
The criminally underrated Enslaved: Odyssey to the West will be getting a re-release on PlayStation 3, and will be available to purchase for the first time on PC, Namco Bandai have today confirmed. There were rumours before - it showed up on the Australian classification board - but it's now official.
Valve Trademark Half-Life 3
Valve have trademarked Half-Life 3, a move that will no doubt excite millions of fans of the series. This has so far only happened in Europe and there's no more information about it available, so it's probably far too early to be saying "Half-Life 3 Confirmed" but, at least of the surface of it, Half-Life 3 seems at least semi-confirmed.
Final Fantasy VII Update fixes PC Music
There was one major complain that I had about the PC re-release of Final Fantasy VII, which was rather good otherwise. That was that Square Enix had decided to include the original PC music rather than revert to the better known, better appreciated PS1 version. An update late last week now fixes this problem.
Square Enix Announce “Master Thief” Special Edition for PC
Square Enix have today announced a special “Master Thief” edition of its next-gen Thief game. The “Master Thief” pack is a PC exclusive digital bundle and contains a number of pretty cool items that any Thief fan will no doubt be excited to get their teeth into. The pack contains a digital art book, a digital comic, the soundtrack and a bundle of in-game consumables which will boost your abilities. The digital art book contains a collection of concept art,…
Steam Machines Announced
Steam have announced that they'll be releasing a set of hardware solutions in 2014. Although no specifics have been revealed today, they've promised a variety of PCs, each covering a different area of cost and power needed. Naturally, all of the Steam Machines will run SteamOS.
Valve Announce SteamOS
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.
Steam Announcements are about Steam, not Game Related
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.
