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. To quickly get you up to speed: Wolfire claims that Valve uses its position with Steam to control game prices and muscle out competition. Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

It may have taken almost two years, but we are now starting to see some of the documents that...

    Beware the Monsters that Lurk in A Plague Tale: Innocence

    Another new trailer is out today for A Plague Tale: Innocence showing that sometimes man is the real monster.


    This particular trailer focuses on the "Monsters" that you will encounter as you play through the rat filled streets. Amicia and Hugo will encounter enemies everywhere, from "stately homes" to "lordly cathedrals" and then down to cellars and basements with the dregs of society.

    This is Why Claptrap has a New Voice Actor in Borderlands 3

    David Eddings says Gearbox just didn't want to pay him.

    If you've seen any promotional material for Borderlands 3 in the past couple of weeks, you may have noticed that Claptrap sounds quite a bit different from what you're used to. This is because David Eddings, the voice behind the robot in all of the previous games has been replaced by Jim Foronda.

    The reason? Money. Specifically, the claim from Eddings that Gearbox didn't want to pay Eddings for his work in Borderlands...

    Sonic Movie Director Says They'll Make Sonic Look Less Weird


    Jeff Fowler, the director on the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie says that they have heard the fan feedback.

    Yesterday, the first trailer for the Sonic the Hedgehog movie was released and uh, Sonic looked odd, to put it nicely. For God's sake, he had human teeth! Why?!

    World War Z to Receive Post-Launch Content as Game Sales Surpass 1 Million


    World War Z is the latest, and some may say greatest, co-op shooter that places you and three of your friends against massive hordes of the living dead.

    World War Z has also apparently sold quite well, having sold over 1 million units in its first week of being on sale on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via the Epic Games Store (yep, it's an affiliate link). As such, you may expect that the game will be receiving some fresh content in the months ahead and you'd be correct....

  • Close to the Sun Brings Some Electrifying Horror to PC Today

    Close to the Sun Brings Some Electrifying Horror to PC Today


    Publisher Wired Productions and Italian development studio, Storm in a Teacup, have released Close to the Sun on the Epic Games Store. It will be coming later this year for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

    Close to the Sun is a first-person horror adventure with plenty of art deco design, a massive ship, and Nikola Tesla. As mentioned, it's available right now only on the Epic Games Store for $29.99 (USD). And no, it's not like BioShock. They want to make that very, very clear. It's just that they both have a whole lot of that art deco thing going on.

    Having played this one for review, I will say that the review will be coming very shortly for Close to the Sun. The review codes were sent out only earlier this week and I really don't like to rush through games I play, especially for review. ...

  • New Earthworm Jim Game Announced Exclusively for Intellivision Amico

    New Earthworm Jim Game Announced Exclusively for Intellivision Amico


    Where do I even begin with this one?

    There once existed a game console called the Intellivision. It was released first in 1979 and ran through until about 1990. Its controller consisted of some side buttons, a disc-based d-pad, and a 12 digit keypad that accepted plastic overlays for every game so that you knew what the buttons did.

    For whatever reason, Intellivision is coming back as Intellivision Amico. It's slated to be released in late 2020. It still features...

    Between the Rocksteady developed live-service Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and the "AAAA" quality Ubisoft developed Skull and Bones: Which is the bigger disappointment for you?
