We haven't covered Skul: The Hero Slayer much before, but I've been keeping tabs on the head-swapping action-platformer for a while now. Today's the day to check in: it's out of Steam Early Access. While I wouldn't directly compare the two...

Following investigation by the European Commission, a selection of publishers have been hit with a combined €7.8 million EUR (or roughly $9.4 million USD) fine following accusations of geo-blocking practices. In an official ruling by t...

In a wide-ranging interview with Valve co-founder Gabe Newell, TVNZ's 1 News asked if there were any new Valve games "coming out soon" – to which he laughed and responded, "I'm sure there are." "Yes, we definitely have games in develo...

After pouring easily hundreds of hours into Nioh 2 and its three DLC packs on PS4, it's admittedly been pretty jarring to start a fresh save on PC – even if I'm only here for preview purposes right now. I had forgotten just how lethal...

As you can see with Jordan's most recent preview, Nioh 2 works well on PC. But it took a lot of work to get there. We caught up very briefly with Team Ninja producer Fumihiko Yasuda to chat about the new remasters, and get a littl...

[Update: After outcry from Hitman fans over the level importing process, IO Interactive says that it is "continuing to work on a solution with our partners to allow PC players who own Hitman 1 or Hitman 2 to import locations from those game...

Here's fun. Axiom Verge, the beloved metroidvania from indie developer Thomas Happ has received a brand new update, some six years after the game's initial launch. The update offers PC players a new randomizer option, allowing even the most...

Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator – it's all there in the title. This game is exactly what you think. I appreciate Strange Scaffold's willingness to come up with an outlandish premise and call it like it is. When this point-and-c...

Almost five years after Grim Dawn was released on Steam, Crate Entertainment is turning the page on its action-RPG in favor of a new game, a resource-flipping city-builder by the name of Farthest Frontier. It has a lot of familiar city-buil...

I'm not sure how I managed to avoid crossing paths with Craftopia until today – an abundance of Steam Early Access games and bad timing, I guess? – but one look at this trailer from June, and wow. I'm calling it: this is the mos...

I may not use every last bit of the Xbox Elite controller, but my original pad is still hanging in there, and it continues to be my go-to controller for PC gaming (although I'm warming up to the DualSense). If you're a fan of the Xbox Elite...

So, Cyberpunk 2077! I hear crickets and groans. Sorry folks. A lot of people are still digging it (particularly on the less-glitch-ridden PC), but a lot of folks are exasperated by it. It turns out that feeling is spilling over on Stea...

If you're looking to unwind with a few relaxing rounds of simple Solitaire, Nerts! Online won't fit the bill at all – but it sure is chaotic fun. It's a free competitive card game on Steam from Zachtronics, the creator behind brainy ...

After almost two weeks of voting, the polls are closed and the tallies are finalized. We now know the winners of the 2020 Steam Awards, from Game of the Year to Best Soundtrack to Labor of Love. I knew there was a not-insignificant chance R...

In today's contest you can win classic beat 'em up 9 Monkeys of Shaolin for PS4 or Steam! It's almost the New Year! In most of the world, anyway. I think Chinese New Year is still a few months away, so there goes my good segue for this one....

I always enjoy winding down the year with a look at Steam's list of best-selling games. Besides high-profile new releases like Cyberpunk 2077 and surprise indie hits like Phasmophobia, 2020 was another year of gaming dominated by old flames...

In case you missed it, Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone, developer of Stardew Valley, just put out a gigantic update for the game on PC. The operative phrase here: PC. As is customary, the patch surprise-dropped on the platform basically when it ...

In today's contest, you can win a Switch, Steam, Xbox, or PlayStation copy of Override 2: Super Mech League and its Ultraman DLC! Hey Torch, look! It's a game with big robots! If you're anything like Torch, you're going to be interested in ...

We've made it to the end of the year, and that means it's time for the Steam Winter Sale, which is hosting I-don't-even-wanna-know-how-many PC game deals until January 5 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific. Lots of players are buying Stardew Valley (it's...

We only just learned about beach farms and a cool shakeup for Community Center bundles in Stardew Valley, and now there's even better news: update 1.5 is out today on Steam. Eric Barone finished it! As usual, PC players are up first, and ot...

Every once in a while, a game trailer will come across my path that grabs me by the neck and doesn't let go. Untitled Goose Game did that, Gnosia did that, and last night, the trailer for Rain on Your Parade did it as well. F...

Idea Factory International has announced that Neptunia Virtual Stars will be arriving on PC via Steam, alongside its PS4 edition, when the action-adventure RPG wings its way westward sometime in 2021 on PC and PS4. Originally released in Ja...

Gears for Breakfast, the studio behind beloved adventure A Hat in Time, has revealed the brand new title Here Comes Niko!, currently in development at indie studio Frog Vibes. As the announcement trailer details below, Here Comes Niko! sees...

It has been a long, long road to the launch of Dotemu's day-glo sports sequel Windjammers 2. First announced during the summer of 2018, the disc-flinging sequel to Data East's 1994 arcade classic is yet to hit the shelves. Having taken feed...

Do you want to get the fuck out of this town? I sure do. But while needs must and pandemics keep me under lock and key, I'll settle for living vicariously through the escapism of Digixart's upcoming adventure Road 96, currently in developme...
