  Valve Will Now Remove 'Off-Topic Review Bombs' from Steam User Scores

  
  Valve has had a major problem these past few years with user submitted reviews. One of the biggest issues with user reviews, be they on Steam or anywhere, is when a push is made by a community to review bomb a game or other form of media. These usually result in a ton of negative reviews in a short span of time for a product because of some perceived slight by a studio concerning a game.
  
  Steam displays user scores in a couple of ways. They show the average of the most recent...

  Security Researchers Find '39 Percent' of Counter-Strike 1.6 Servers Used to Spread Malware

  
  This week, security researchers from Russia's Dr.Web (PDF), filed a report saying that roughly 39% of Counter-Strike 1.6 servers were used to spread malware to users. The report, filed on Monday, found that these malicious servers exploited a remote code execution (RCE) flaw in the game client to spread a new malware variant called Belonard.
  
  These servers were nothing more than proxy servers set up to display low pings, enticing players to try to connect to them. When players...

  Epic Games Launcher Allegedly Scrapes Local Steam Data Prior to Granting Consent, Epic Responds

  Earlier today, Reddit user PhoenixPoint and ResetEra member Madjoki found out that the Epic Games Launcher may be collecting your Steam history at startup. As part of their investigation, they found that at startup, the Epic Games Launcher searches your local computer for a Steam install. If it finds that Steam is installed, it then apparently proceeds to pull a list of files typically stored in your Steam Cloud. This data includes game saves for all users that have logged in to Steam on your computer....

  Turtle Rock is Making a New Zombie Filled Co-op FPS Game

  
  Turtle Rock Studios, the development studio that created Left 4 Dead and who eventually brought us Left 4 Dead 2 and Evolve (but let's not talk about that one) is working on a new co-op FPS. And just like Left 4 Dead, this new title will also include plenty of zombies.
  
  The game is called Back 4 Blood (I see what they did there) and it will be published by WBIE. It's a bit early to say how this one will turn out since a lot of the old Turtle Rock kind of merged with Valve for...

  Bloody Palace Mode Arrives April 1 for Devil May Cry 5

  
  Capcom announced today that the free Bloody Palace Mode for Devil May Cry 5 will be released on April 1.
  
  No, this isn't an early April Fools joke. They actually make sure to point this fact out in the press release.
  
  Bloody Palace Mode has been a fan favorite and has been included in every Devil May Cry game aside from the first game. It's a bit like a wave-based game mode that has enemies that grow in strength the further along you go.

  Four Sniper Elite Projects Announced - Includes a V2 Remaster, VR, and More

  
  Developer Rebellion announced today four separate Sniper Elite projects that are being worked on. These include a full sequel to Sniper Elite 4, which I'm guessing will be called Sniper Elite 5 though the press release doesn't state as such.
  
  There is also a VR Sniper Elite project that is being worked on, a Switch release of Sniper Elite 3 Ultimate Edition, and Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is a thing. Why V2? Why not the first Sniper Elite game? Man, I don't know!
