Tim Sweeney Called Valve 'Assholes' in Email to Gabe Newell, Valve COO Says 'You Mad Bro?'

Tim Sweeney is always mad.

The antitrust lawsuit against Valve from Wolfire Games got a little spicy this week.

  • Review: Zombie Army 4: Dead War

    Review: Zombie Army 4: Dead War

    Killing Nazi zombies is still a ton of fun.

It still contains explicit slow-motion kills. If anything, Zombie...
