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

Tim Sweeney is always mad.

  • Alien: Isolation Review

    Alien: Isolation Review

    A competent horror title that over stays its welcome.

    Right from the start with the old "20th Century Fox" opening, Alien: Isolation wants you to understand that is out to recreate the feelings and the horror mindset that the original movies first gave audiences back in the 70's and 80's. It is you, playing as Ellen Ripley's daughter, Amanda, against the Alien Xenomorph, the environment, and a healthy dose of tension. The game takes place just 15 years after the events ...

    Ryse: Son of Rome Review (PC)

    Quick time your way to victory.

    Ryse: Son of Rome originally debuted roughly a year ago on the Xbox One. It was hailed as a gorgeous game hampered by a near complete lack of actual gameplay. Fast forward to October 2014 with Ryse's PC debut and here we have an even more gorgeous looking game with gameplay that is linear, repetitive, and full of quick time events. I really will not go into too many details here since this game is a year old now, but I will shine a lig...

Here are the Tweets sent to Wu last night from a now suspended Twitter account. I will say that if you don't like swearing or disturbing descriptions of violence, you shouldn't read this. ...

    343 Industries Eventually Wants to Do Away with Numbered Halo Games

    In an interview with OXM, 343 Industries' General Manager Bonnie Ross, said that they would like to eventually stop numbering the Halo games.
    Why is it called Guardians?
