What's the best video game of 2019 that you suck at? I bet you have an answer ready to go. That's one of the questions at the center of the Steam Awards, an annual community-centric ceremony meant to highlight the best and brightest PC game...

In an already shopping-crammed week, here's one more sale to keep tabs on. The Steam Autumn Sale 2019 is running from today until December 3 at 10:00am Pacific with deals, deals, and more deals. First and foremost, I have to give a shout-ou...

Jackbox Party Packs have turned into something of a Halloween tradition since the first one came out in 2014. Every year since then, you've pretty much been able to count on a new collection of five casual-friendly party games coming out in...

Valve has made it that much easier for me to see exactly how many games I've left untouched and unloved in my aging Steam library. With today's beta, Steam users can now opt-in to play around with the platform's new and arguably improved li...

It doesn't feel like Humble Bundle has existed for all that long, but clearly, my perspective is out of whack. We're now on the Humble Indie Bundle 20, a fitting reminder that time moves way too fast and you shouldn't let important things g...

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night's dead platforms keep piling up. A few years ago, the Wii U version was canceled in favor of flipping over to Switch -- a perfectly justifiable move. Earlier in 2018, the Vita port was scrapped altogether. ...

As we inch toward the new year, Valve has shared a list of the 100 best-selling games on Steam in 2018. Along with the general list, there are also a few more specific groupings including the top 150 new releases, VR best-sellers, Early Acc...

Valve is now running its annual Steam Autumn Sale with deals on some 14,000 PC games. What's good this year? Based on spending habits so far, it looks like Civilization VI ($17.99), Total War: Warhammer II ($29.99), Assassin's Creed Odyssey...

There's been a slight but much-appreciated resurgence in theme park simulation titles over the past couple years. One highlight is Parkitect, a game that feels like a loving tribute to the original RollerCoaster Tycoon and its classic seque...

One of my favorite games of the past decade is a wonderful little collection called NES Remix. From indiezero and Nintendo, this trio of games took classic NES titles and reimagined how people played them. It was a great success, but after ...

You Don't Know Jack has always been an innovative property. The very first YDKJ game in 1995 was one of the first titles to take full advantage of the storage space offered by then-new CD-ROM technology, and there's been plenty of...

Remember when the site used to be called Good Old Games? A lot has changed for GOG.com over the past 10 years. The digital store was originally cherished as a haven for classic PC games and overlooked gems without the annoyances of DRM. It ...

I'm all about these spooky lo-fi games that pop up from time to time. Ray was telling us about Paratopic a few months ago, and now the first-person horror title is gearing up for a Definitive Cut release on Steam and itch.io. The faces may ...

For years now, Valve has been making strides with Steam to get away from the closed-off environments of the Windows and App Stores that Microsoft and Apple provide. Valve is all about user freedom and allowing people to play games the way t...

Sim game developer Twice Circled has moved from the world of pharmaceutical conglomerates to fish keeping. The studio's next title, Megaquarium, is a tycoon game about running a public aquarium. A lot more work goes into keeping a healthy ...

While my Steam purchasing has severely slowed down in recent years, I still catch myself eying the marketplace's top-sellers list. I like seeing what folks are into and whether or not I'm still with it. This week, Steam has broken out a lis...

It's been a few years since ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove received its Kickstarter funding and got into production. Even with a slight delay postponing their return to Earth, the funky '90s duo is still trucking along. While a firm ...

Indie roguelike, Metroidvania game Dead Cells is now available on Linux and Mac OS X. This coincides with the current Steam summer sale with a 40% off discount. Once the summer sale is over, the game will be increasing in price (from $19.99...

Valve recently added the ability for Steam users to see how much money they've spent, and this sure feels like the video game equivalent of learning the exact date you're going to die. I didn't need to know this. I didn't need to know this ...

If you're the type of person to host game-playing get-togethers with friends, there are certain titles you really ought to have on hand, and I'd say Duck Game ranks pretty high on that list. It's stupid. It's fun. It's stupidly fun. It's al...

Jay Tholen is going from making an adventure game about a grotesque but lovable clown to a '90s internet simulator in which you'll browse the weird web and "[keep] the internet clear of wrongdoers, with reports and rewards coming direct fro...

It's The Witcher 3: Game of the Year Edition at number one. Of course it is! GOG is currently holding a sale on over 150 of its most-wishlisted games and people are still all about Geralt of Rivia in 2018. As such, The Witcher 3 is down to ...

Steam Spy has been a tremendously helpful tool over the years, offering estimates on how individual games are selling and how many people are actively playing them, among other insights. That changes this week in light of a Steam client upd...

I haven’t really followed news on The Voxel Agents’ upcoming The Gardens Between. My only real knowledge came from Sony’s Paris Games Week event last October, so I wasn’t sure exactly what changed or how the game w...

The Humble Indie Bundle 19 is another one of those deals where if you don't happen to own most of the games already, you're going to make out like a bandit. It has Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes and Superhot (aka Keep Dodging and Everybod...
