Congrats to Speedrunners on becoming an e-sport (PC Gamer) It makes sense since it's a simple concept but there's a lot of depth and a high skill ceiling. I'd be keen to watch some of the matches - the game is almost as much fun to watch as it is to play!

Love it or hate it DLC is an established component of gaming these days. However, when it comes to DLC there often exists a disparity between good and worthwhile DLC and the rip-off, not-worth-it-at-all DLC. Sometimes it is difficult to decided which is which so let's help each other out and...

Friend. If you "plus one" this thread in the next 3 days, something amazing will happen to you. This is not a joke, Jimmy decided to not "plus one" and a bus ran over his bicycle. "pluz one" now! Don't believe me? Just ask Mrs Joe. She posted his "plus one" and now she earns enough money by...

I saw a brief article on RPS about a new game that will be coming to early access. It looks like a combination of Railroad Tycoon (except focused on one train) and FTL. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one, it could be quite fun.

Games allow us to break free from reality, including all its expectations and even moral demands (I certainly hope no one here goes on shooting rampages daily). The funny thing is, certain games (especially RPG's) try very hard to bring the question of morality back into games and so you find...

I was reminiscing over one of my favourite childhood games earlier today, Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday, and was remembering one of its early missions in particular where you board an abandoned spaceship and find that all is not what it seems. This got me thinking, for me the mission aboard...

So here's another "What do you...?" thread but they make for interesting discussion at least :D Tell us about a game you for all purposes SHOULDN'T really like, i.e. it's not your preferred genre, theme etc. but against all odds you love playing the game. An example: My one friend is what you...

It's pretty simple, post a youtube link to a song or a few songs that irritate or annoy or grate your carrot the most. I expect this thread to be filled with some absolutely terrible music - but it will be fun to see what songs you hate the most. My contribution: I heard this song so many times...

Since we're all talking about the first game we finished, I thought we could also have a thread about the games we have played over and over again (since it came up in the afore mentioned thread). I'm not talking about round based MP games, just games that one playthrough is sufficient but you...

Oh wow! I did not realise I had spent that much in store purchases - and this is the actual price you paid right? Not the current value?

You can set it to show on your profile page. My badge of shame:

Banished Banished is a medieval city management sim which I would best describe as being Stronghold without the castles and fighting. Essentially you are tasked with setting up a village utilising the resources available: trees, stones, iron, nature and your group of people. It can be a...

Not a sale but this is probably the thread closest to the topic. I notice now in the Steam recommendations they've added a third rating option for the recommendations, "funny". It makes sense with the amount of people getting upvoted because of a humorous comment rather than an informative review.

Great news for Trine fans, Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power has been announced. Check out the trailer below: Once again it looks fantastic, and the new plane of movement looks like it'll add a nice new "dimension" to the gameplay :p I've thoroughly enjoyed the first 2 games in the series...

I was going to post this in the backlog thread but decided that it's good enough for its own thread of discussion. I certainly agree with the view expressed with regard to my growing game collection. Your stack of shame is a lantern for your future, and a gift to the industry Edit: Eugene...

Hmm, to game or to work that is the question...

Anyone want to take their chances?

The Talos Principle Public Test A "Public Test" demo of this game went up on Steam last Friday and I must say, after playing through it I'm very keen on getting this game. If you enjoyed Portal 1/2 then I encourage to download the demo (roughly 1GB) and give it a go. It also has a benchmark...

We welcomed our second child into the world this week. Here's a pic of our new baby girl with her big brother.

Hi Guys Don't worry this isn't a flame-bait post from MyBB :) I ran this past James and he agreed to let me post this thread. I'm conducting a bit of research for a theology assignment I'm working on and need to get some opinions from non-Christians (Atheists, humanists, agnostics, any other...
