Like most PC gamers, I love Steam. Sure, its awesome sales have put a dent in my wallet and given me a library of games I’ll probably never finish, but it’s a brilliant service nonetheless. I’ve always had one major problem with it, though – downloads pause while playing. Countless times I’ve wanted play something while I download a couple of titles in order to scratch them off my backlog, but no such luck. Thankfully, the most recent Steam update…

It's a double-barrelled nightmare, but the first next-gen Middle-Earth game from Warner-Brothers (maybe not that last one) was today announced for Playstation 4, Xbox One, PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

The new service offers daily discounts on video games for Windows PC, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. Continuing Humble’s tradition of being charitable, 10 percent of all proceeds are given to foundations such as The American Red Cross, World Land Trust, Child’s Play and Electronic Frontier Foundation.  At the time of this writing, The Humble Store has dropped the prices on some of…

Deep Silver have today launched a Linux version of Metro: Last Light, now downloadable via Steam. If you have a Linux-based machine and Steam installed, check it out. More than that though, they've also announced that Last Light will be fully Steam Machine compatible, and will actually be pre-installed on the prototype rigs being sent out to testers.
