New U(I) – Valve Beta test revamped Steam interface
We all love Steam…
Too a PC gamer, its the electromagical love-child of a best friend (because everyone else hates us because we’re apparently evil pirate ninja cowboys) and that nice local storekeeper who used to give you lollies when you were younger (yes, him – no, not his bitch wife who actually hated the idea of children and instigated that ‘Maximum 2 youth at once’ rule).
Now, Valve, in a long overdue effort to make it much more lovely, have finally rejigged a lot of things wrong with its aging interface.… Read More…
Sparky – Rocket Knight Reboot Concept Art
Rocket Knight Adventures was a good Mega Drive game, often quoted when discussing platform greats (alongside other memorable offerings as Gunstar Heroes). There’s a reboot coming (as is the trend these days) and here’s some concept art for it…
HD-licious!
Thanks D-toid.… Read More…
Making TF2 fun again! – Crafting announced, Soldier/Demoman rivalry
It’s WAR…
The Demoman & Soldier have been getting a little too friendly lately. What with the Administrator being a bitch and stuff, she has initiated the WAR update. Since Friday, the two classes have been at each others throats, slowly adding to a omnipresent counter with each successive exploderised body part. Too the victor, the spoils – a special fourth weapon to compliment the typical three-weapon update cycle the previous classes have received.
The tin-hats are currently blatting the cyclops by nearly 20,000.
Oh, and there’s Crafting too, so no more worrying about the awful random weapon … Read More…

LEC vents Steam – old (and some not-so-old) releases on Valve’s Content Delivery System
After much much much much teasing, LucasArts have finally let fly with what they’ve been drip-feeding us over the July 4th weekend…
A partnership with Valve Software’s Steam platform to bring a plethora of LEC software both old and, well, not that old at all, too the masses.… Read More…
“Thanks fer standin’ still, wanker!” : TF2 Sniper Update
Hot on the heels of the Scout & Heavy updates, themselves not inconsiderable, comes the latest TF2 update, this time catering for everyones long-range homicidal maniac.
Valve are selling this update as the biggest yet, including…
multiple new maps and a bunch of gameplay tweaks
Not much more information yet, but there is word that this update will be preceeded by at least one cross-class update that will bring new content to all classes (which most of the internet prophets will no-doubt consider to be the absent grenades).
There’s also official word about why there’s still no sign of any … Read More…
Is Imitation the greatest form of Flattery?: GFW:L copies Steam
Don’t worry, Microsoft hasn’t bought Valve (*phew*). Rather, Microsoft have used the GDC to announce a shedload of functional changes to their red-headed stepchild of a PC games platform. Basically aping what others have been offering for a while now, hit the jump to find out just what can be had on other services!… Read More…
Killing Floor goes commercial
Tripwire Interactive have announced that the popular Unreal mod, itself based on their Red Orchestra modified Unreal 2.5 engine, will be released on Steam (and, presumably, other digital platforms) in the near future.
Whilst not specifically developed by Tripwire themselves (who are beavering away on an as-yet un-announced project), they are providing support to the original creators. A teaser site (with forum linkage) lives here.
Killing Floor is a co-op multiplayer experience set in the UK and features lots of rampaging mutated zombie-ish clones who want to eat you. Think a more hardcore, less streamlined Left 4 Dead … Read More…
Valve adopt DLC – monetising vs. progress?
The PC has been largely free of the blight of the monetised morsels of gameplay that is Downloadable Content. Largely down to the lack of a standardised platform with which to distribute (and collect payment), ala. the current games consoles, nobody has really managed to get a firm grip on the masses who prefer to do their gaming on their desktops rather than in their lounges.
Now, Valve, purveyors of Steam, have finally revealed a modification for Steam that allows additional content to be plugged into games offered on the service on a case-by-case basis.… Read More…
