I haven’t been back since. It’s not even that I’mboredof the humans-are-the-real-monsters survival sandbox (though, admittedly, the concept is less novel nowadays).

Steam introduces user reviews

Yep, it’s in beta As much as online user reviews can be hit or miss, I particularly like the waythey’re being implemented on Steam. Most importantly, before you may write a review, you must have first launched that game from Steam — and your playtime will be shown next to your evaluation. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still expecting a bunch of garbage, but if I can find value in community guides, there’s hope that user reviews will be beneficial as well....

Supreme Commander 2 box art reminds me of Transformers

Unless videogame box art is something truly outrageous, artsy, or so bad it rolls into good territory, it can be hard to talk about. The cover artwork forSupreme Commander 2is exactly none of those things, so you just know you’re in for a riveting story here. It does its job in that it says “this is a game about machines fighting other machines. Things will explode, and, uh, the game is published by Square Enix, oddly enough....

The 8 most expensive video games you don’t really want to play

A scarce commodity Do you own a jar of my toenail clippings? Not many people do. They’re a scarce commodity, but scarcity is a daft reason to own anything. It’s hardwired into our brain that if there are few of something, we want it more. We know it as the “fear of missing out,” and it’s one of the most annoying subsets of greed. Video game collecting is a pretty innocuous embodiment of this....
