    End of the Line update

    Agreed. This update was a little lacklustre in terms of content. It's good to see that Valve are collaborating with the community to produce updates, but that doesn't really help when the content itself is lacking. Maybe I'm just getting old of TF2, but the recent updates really haven't been...

    Why do you think Minecraft has become so popular?

    A combination of an incredible community, effective marketing through user created content and mouth-of-word, fun, addictive gameplay, endless replayability through modding and personal projects, iconic design, etc etc. I think this is just one of those 'lightning in a bottle' cases. I can't...

    What is your favorite free-to-play game?

    Despite its age, I still love TF2. The gameplay is fun, each of the classes has their own unique playstyle, and the economy is constantly fluctuating, making trading it's own little game. Valve is also constantly updating it, adding new modes, maps and weapons. I'd never thought that I'd get...

    Steam games

    While there is little difference, what really sells the PC version of Skyrim for me is the modding capability. There's an incredible variety of things you can do to tweak the game, with graphic overhauls, quality of life modifications, quests, characters, and so on. A large part of Bethesda's...

    Now that the Steam Winter Sale is over, post your hauls and how much you spent!

    Ill start: Bleed Poker Night At The Inventory Monaco Hammerwatch Counter-Strike:Global Offensive Super Meat Boy Nothing flashy, but since I've been using my laptop for most of my gaming, I thought I'd choose some nice low-end games. Plus I really wanted the Poker TF2 items =p What did...

    Do you prefer using a keyboard and mouse or a controller?

    it definitely depends. for fps, mmo, rts, i'd spring for a keyboard/mouse almost instantly. but for fighting games, or racing or platformers, there's nothing like a controller in your hands. if i had to choose though, it'd probably be the keyboard and mouse, if only for the sheer utility and...

    What do you think will be the next big game from Valve?

    as much as it's been joked about, HL3 is essentially confirmed to be in production. coupled with the Source 2 engine, and Valve's long-standing reputation for quality games, its safe to say that whatever Valve makes is going to be pretty good. what worries me is that the community is going to...

    Who uses a laptop for gaming?

    i often use my laptop for gaming, and it works out OK most of the time. buuut, since laptops are...laptops, there's little I can actually run without my laptop smoking, melting down, or both. so usually I'll just play LoL or CS:GO. I've also found platformers to be quite fun as well, having...

    Can a Youtuber Affect Game Sales?

    Youtubers can DEFINITELY affect the sales of a game. Games like Minecraft and FNAF all got hugely popular due to the output of content based on these games. Granted, there were definitely other things that made them popular, but a video about a game with a million views is definitely going to...
