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.

  • Fourth Battleborn Story Operation Available Today

    Fourth Battleborn Story Operation Available Today

    Gearbox and 2K released the fourth Story Operation for Battleborn today. It's called Montana and the Demon Bear and I have a strong feeling that there is a bear involved.

    In addition, the studio revealed the fifth Story Operation called Phoebe and the Heart of Ekkunar. I'm guessing there aren't any bears in that one, but one can hope.

    30 Years On, Whatever Happened to Dizzy?

    Back in 1987, long before Lara Croft emerged from a studio in Derby (in all her angular glory), a simple egg was the best video game hero the British could come up with. Named Dizzy, and created by the Oliver Twins - Philip and Andrew- the series told the story of a somersaulting adventurer with a weakness to everything, particularly hapless heroine, Daisy.

    While originally not an egg at all (Dizzy was designed as simply a face with arms and legs due to thelimitations of the Sinclair...

    Nintendo Switch Super Bowl LI Commercial

    Not going to watch Super Bowl LI this weekend? I can't really blame if you aren't. Good thing we have you covered for at least one of the commercials that will air during the game. It's for none other than the Nintendo Switch.

    There are two flavors here, one is a short form commercial, the other is an extended cut. Watch one, watch both, watch neither of them. It's no skin off my back what you choose!

  • Report: Nintendo Switch Online Service to Cost Around $25 per Year

    Report: Nintendo Switch Online Service to Cost Around $25 per Year

    According to reports coming out of Japan from Kantan Games' CEO, Dr. Serkan Toto, the annual price for the Nintendo Switch's online service will be between 2,000 to 3,000 yen. That is equal to about $17.50 to $26.50 (USD).
