Anodyne and Surgeon Sim have been approved for Steam
Ten games and two software titles have been approved for Steam through Greenlight, forming what may be my favorite group to date. The full list of games, which will be released on the digital distribution platform on an individual basis as they are finished includes Anodyne, Distance, Evoland, Huntsman: The Orphanage, Kingdom Rush, Legends of Dawn, Organ Trail: Director's Cut, Receiver, Surgeon Simulator 2013, and War Thunder. For the applications, it's painting tool Black Ink and PC optimizer Driver Fusion. Of the list of games -- which is, again, quite good in my humble opinion -- I'd recommend looking into action-adventure title Anodyne, zombie-filled homage Organ Trail, and the disgusting yet oddly cute Surgeon Sim 2013.

11:00 PM on 05.08.2013 Keep an eye on survival horror title The ForestI may or may not have let out an audible "Holy sh*t!" while watching this trailer for The Forest, a first-person survival horror game looking for support on Steam Greenlight. Not because of a jump scare, mind you -- it happe...

6:00 AM on 05.04.2013 This Surgeon Simulator cake is super grossThe guys behind Surgeon Simulator 2013 had a special cake made to celebrate the game's success. It's themed after what you do in the game, and well, it's pretty damn gross. So gross that I put it below the fold in case you'r...

8:30 AM on 05.02.2013 Cloudbuilt looks like it was developed in my dreamsAs a general rule, I keep a skeptical view of games currently in the developmental stage.

Seemingly addressing this iss...
