Of course we are excited for Halloween. Sure, there is the candy the kids don’t get and the opportunity to break out a cosplay. The really exciting thing to us is that it is another excuse for Steam to have a sale. Not that any of us have the time to play all the games we have in our queue already but there are a ton of titles we have been meaning to get. We can justify a few…just a few… Here are some of the games we recomm

Did you see the announcement trailer for Detroit: Become Human released yesterday at Paris Games Week? We’ve been eagerly waiting for Quantic Dream to announce their next project and figured it would have something to do with the developer’s 2012 PlayStation 3 tech demo titled Kara (even though CEO David Cage originally said otherwise). Kara is a newly built android who has developed a consciousness she can only assume by the obedi

The Overwatch Beta is starting today, keeping many of us attached to our battle.net accounts and email. For the next twelve hours, waves of testers will be sent invites to give Blizzard’s first team shooter a try.  This is the smaller group of testers, however, so don’t get too upset if you don’t get brought in now.  The larger group for Beta Test Weekends has not been selected or notified. We have yet to see invite

With only two days before the launch of their co-op action first person shooter and melee combat adventure, Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide, Fatshark has released a new game trailer. Our team gets pretty excited about anything Warhammer so we didn’t need the extra hype, but waiting has been agonizing.  We will happily take anything to ease the pain. A little about the game from the Steam page: Vermintide takes place in and ar

Today, Forced: Slightly Better Edition released on PlayStation 4.  Usually we don’t get that worked up about two-year-old games getting updated releases on different platforms, but this is a fantastic 1-4 player co-op game. We think any co-op news is great news! Made by Copenhagen based developer team Beta Dwarf Entertainment while still in university (their story of living in their school for 7 months to work on the game is pretty awe

Many of us hate writing about ourselves; we’ve all seen those profiles that simply say, “I don’t like doing this so just ask me something”. The problem is, those profiles have a much lower chance of attracting someone who will be interested enough to want to ask further questions. Writing about ourselves is all part of the territory of online dating, and you can greatly increase the likelihood of somebody taking notice and

Halo 5: Guardians went gold last week so 343 Industries and Microsoft celebrated by releasing a trailer today. It is nearly 3 minutes and listed as a “gameplay trailer” but mostly includes in-game cut scenes - notably a confrontation between Master Chief and Spartan Locke. No spoilers in the trailer - but watch out, Eurogamer is reporting that they are out there already. Oddly, the most talked about part of the trailer in

We’ve added another Gold Membership Bundle! Gaming Minds Studios released Grand Ages: Medieval about a week ago and anyone who knows our team personally has been surprised that we are still working.  We sort of have a thing for strategy games - and by sort of I mean put one in front of any of us and watch as we put up blinders for hours while conquering.
