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

    This Week in Review: Superhot (February 21 - 27, 2016)

    I'm going to level with you all. Outside of Superhot, I haven't really had much time to play anything else "new" this week. And well, I already have a fairly lengthy review up for Superhot. Maybe you've seen it?

    What else was there? Well, I started to play Until Dawn on the PlayStation 4. It's not really a new release though, but I am enjoying it. I have seen it played through a few times and I still wanted to purchase it. Fortunately, Sony had a sale on the game and I was...

  • Gabe Newell Responds to Terrible Dota 2 Shanghai Major - Calls James Harding an Ass, Fires Production Company

    Apparently, the Dota 2 Shanghai Major is kind of a shitshow. There are apparently problems with players getting the appropriate hardware, there are problems with being unable to watch the matches, and the list goes on.

    It apparently got so bad that Gabe Newell took to the Dota 2 subreddit to reveal that someone named James is an ass and that they're firing the production company.
    Two things: 1) James. We've had issues with James at previous events. Some Valve peopl

    Necropolis Release Pushed to Summer, Console Versions Announced

    Bandai Namco announced that there will be PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Necropolis coming alongside the PC release. Unfortunately, this good news comes with a bit of bad as the PC release was delayed until Summer. That means that all three versions of the game will be out at the same time this Summer.
    NECROPOLIS combines third-person action with roguelike dungeon delving for a game that’s fast-paced and addictive, yet diabolically hardcore. Those elements, married with

    Capcom just revealed that Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 5, and Resident Evil 6 are coming out on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Strangely enough, they're starting with Resident Evil 6 on March 29, then releasing 5 this Summer, and then finally 4 will come later this year in the Fall. I suppose ending with your best foot forward is a good idea here.

    These trademarks are for Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. In fact, they both are accompanied by a logo. You can still see both entries at the OAMI website.

    March isn't even over yet and we've already seen a couple of stinkers come out from major gaming studios. While we tend to focus on the surprise hits or quality titles in these polls, this time it's a little bit different.
