Half Life 2 was a fantastic game when it arrived several years. Taking the solid architecture of the original game and expanding on that, it was a challenging FPS title that was followed by two more successful episodes. And then it just dropped off the face of the earth.

PC gaming. Yeah, definitely dead. Console gamers, and indeed the entire videogame industry have been telling you this for years now. Only nothing could be further from the truth - as Steam’s stats testify.No doubt fuelled by another of its ridiculous sales, Steam passed the 5 million concurrent users mark late last month, and again yesterday. For reference, Xbox Live saw its highest ... [»]

We all love Half Life. I mean, it ushered in a whole new era of video games. Who could ever forget that awesome first experience of sitting on the train as Gordon Freeman, watching the world flow by the windows as you made your way to the most interesting day of work that a scientist would ever have?
Reported by the folks at ... [»]
Though Anonymous and Lulzsec seem to have gone quiet with their hack attacks on gaming sites it seems the hacking continues - this time affecting Valve’s forums. Anybody trying to access said forums was greeted with this message : “The Steam Forums are temporarily offline for maintenance. Your patience is appreciated,” and no other reasons for the forums’ temporary closure. Steam ... [»]
If Angry Birds Seasons isn’t enough for your holiday needs, then Valve has just the thing for you. Being the awesome folks that they are, they are doing their Third Annual Scream Fortress Very Scary Halloween Special.
A Halloween map, two new achievements, a new boss, secret loot, costume packs for each class and more. Sounds like an absolute blast and makes me ... [»]
Valve’s Gabe Newell speaking to Geekwire has said that contrary to what publishers and developers believe, that Piracy stems not from people’s unwillingness to pay money - but rather because it’s convenient. Because of that, great service is key to curbing piracy - not draconian DRM systems."One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It's ... [»]
Portal 2, built using the positively ancient Source engine, is still one of the best games I’ve played this year. It’s filled to the brim with distilled, undiluted clever, and is one of the year’s most critically and commercially successful games. It’s going to get better.Valve has announced that it will be releasing a second update to the game that will add an in-game map editor. Users will be able ... [»]

Sometimes bad news can lead to some very good news. Actually, more like very interesting news.
Early code for DOTA 2 has been leaked onto the net, and while you would be pretty thick to risk your Steam account just to play a non-online version of it early, the important news is that it seems to contain code for that other little Half ... [»]
If you haven’t yet bought Portal 2 then go do that. Oh, and get the PS3 version. Why? Well because if you do you can play along with PC and Mac players through the magic of Steam.
This is because the PS3 is Steamworks enabled which also allows you to store your ... [»]
You might recall 2 years back, that some fans made a short Half-Life 2 fan film with a ridiculously low budget - that was nothing short of amazing. The entire project was to cost a mere $500, which in terms of videomaking is roughly nothing. That $500 was meant to cover two episodes, but we’ve seen just the ... [»]
Steamworks, a lighter content-delivery system is currently available for the PlayStation 3. We’ve seen it in Portal 2, which allows for including cross-platform instant messaging, access to the Steam Cloud, and even PC/PS3 cross platform play. It even gave PS3 purchasers a free token to download the game for PC or MAC for free. Valve wants it on ... [»]
