New Rumor Suggests Half-Life: Alyx is Coming to PlayStation VR2

This is just a rumor from one source, so make of it what you will.

According to a report from The Leak, Half-Life: Alyx will be coming to PlayStation VR2. The Leak, citing an anonymous source, claims that Sony was busy negotiating with Valve about bringing Half-Life: Alyx over to PSVR 2 for quite some time before an agreement was reached.

They go on to say that Sony bought the publishing rights to Half-Life: Alyx for PlayStation VR2. While it seems odd that Valve wouldn't...

Valve Says They Have Several Games in Development

Though whether or not any of them will be released is anybody's guess.

In a recent interview conducted by Famitsu (via Tweaktown) with long-time Valve employee Greg Coomer, the Half-Life studio is still very much in the business of creating games. Coomer told the publication that Valve has a lot of projects currently in development.

Coomer says, "Valve has a lot of games in development. We will continue to release games. Game development is very important to Valve....

Some Twitter User Says Half-Life: Alyx is Coming to PlayStation VR2

Hot off the rumor mill from the most trustworthy of sources.

Fairly random Twitter user @Shpeshal_Nick says that Half-Life: Alyx is coming to PlayStation VR2. This person isn't completely random. They are Nick Baker, the co-founder of XboxEra.com and co-host of a podcast of the same name. So, it's not like Joe Dingleberry is out there making these claims, but this is hardly an official source making them either.

In responding to a question about whether or not Valve would...

BioShock Mod for Half-Life: Alyx is Now a Complete Campaign

Darling it's better, down where it's wetter.

In October 2020 we told you about a short mod for Half-Life: Alyx that took us to Rapture, the undersea city of BioShock fame. At the time, the mod was fairly short, clocking in at about 25 minutes worth of gameplay.

Today, that mod has seen some massive expansion and is now considered a full campaign. Return to Rapture combines the Half-Life: Alyx VR engine with assets and more from BioShock. This is an eight-episode release...

Red Dead Redemption 2 is Somehow Steam's GOTY

I mean... I guess?

2020 is the year that just won't let up. This time, we're being told that the 2020 Game of the Year at The Steam Awards was none other than Red Dead Redemption 2. That is surprising, to say the least, when its competition for the year included games like Hades, Death Stranding, Fall Guys, and even DOOM Eternal. But it is what it is and it is a GOTY winner when all is said and done.

Do keep in mind that this game was voted on by Steam users to be their...

Steam's Best Selling Games of 2020

Checking out the year's top 100 games on Steam.

2020 has sucked all kinds of ass. You know it, I know it, people who haven't even been born yet will eventually know it. If there's one thing that made the year a little more bearable it's the fact that we probably gamed a lot more than usual thanks to, you know, everything.

Some of that is reflected in Valve's end of the year "Best Of" list for Steam. With gaming still being big in 2020, here are just a few of...

Half-Life: Alyx Mod Takes Us to BioShock's Rapture

There's always a lighthouse.

A new mod for Half-Life: Alyx was brought to light today courtesy of UploadVR. This mod, from developer wim.buytaert.1988, combines together Half-Life: Alyx with BioShock. The core idea here is that Alyx "crash-lands" in the underwater world of Rapture.

This is accomplished by using repurposed assets from Half-Life: Alyx in combination with new assets based on locations within BioShock itself. It's not a 1 to 1 recreation of BioShock,...
