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

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.

    Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online PlayStation 4 Review

    The best just got better.

    A little over a year ago I provided a review for the single player portion of Grand Theft Auto V for the Xbox 360. In it, not a detail was spared as I shared my praises and complaints about the game. Here we are, one year later and I'm back at it. It's not often that I get to offer up a second review for a game, let alone one that has been re-released on a new platform and given significant number of improvements since its initial release.

    "Summer Lesson" Tech Demo for Project Morpheus is Kinda Creepy

    Bandai Namco released a new trailer today for the Project Morpheus tech demo, Summer Lesson. Summer Lesson is essentially you meeting up with a Japanese schoolgirl who is tutoring you outside of school. You just kind of hang out with this virtual girl in her room and I don't really know much more about this game outside of it being made by the Tekken team and Katsuhiro Harada. There's just something a little off/unsettling about this tech demo.

    by Shawn Zipay
    It's AAAA vs WB.

    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.

    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?
