Greenlight and censorship: Valve’s first screw-up

September 5, 2012

Opinion/PC/Seduce Me/Steam Greenlight/Valve

I, like everyone else in the game’s industry, likes Valve. The passionate team over there has produced some of the finest games ever crafted, and Steam has almost singlehandedly made PC gaming relevant in an era of console and device gaming.

Retro Review: Alundra (PS3)

September 4, 2012

Alundra/MonkeyPaw Games/PlayStation/PS3/Retro/Retro Reviews

Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda is a game franchise that has over the years developed into a unique formula, many times emulated and rarely (or never, depending on your perspective) bettered. There’s a reasonable case to be made that Darksiders comes close to Nintendo’s green-dressed hero, but for all the…
