GTA V is no longer the record-holder for most players at once on Steam. Fallout 4 was released on Tuesday (yesterday, as I’m writing this). In just one day, Bethesda’s long-awaited sequel has set a new record for most concurrent players running the game live at one time. The previous record was set by Grand […]
This month marks the first Halloween that this year’s big Steam success story, Psyonix’s Rocket League, will experience. What better way to mark the event than with some holiday-specific items to collect and use, hmm? Starting October 18, six post-game rewards will be added to the game: the calavera, fuzzy brute, and fuzzy vampire antennas; […]
In a market crowded with desperate indie games, one title somehow managed to break out of the noise and become an overnight success: Rocket League, Psyonix’s soccer-with-cars smash hit. And now that everyone’s playing it, everyone with money wants a piece of it. Jeremy Dunham, Psyonix’s vice president of marketing, lays out the situation: “We’ve […]
Psyonix’s smash hit Rocket League has turned into the indie success of the year and captured the imaginations of millions. Eventually we can expect an officially sanctioned Olympic sport where teams from all over the world get into cars and bash a giant ball around, but until then, all we have is the game. And […]
If you couldn’t call Rocket League a bonafide hit before, now the evidence is irrefutable. Valve and Rocket League’s developer Psyonix have announced that in just less than two months since its official release, Rocket League has sold over one million digital copies on Steam, making it one of the most successful games in recent […]
Steam’s latest hit isn’t GTA V, although it was at one point. Last week it was NotGTAV, a game that delivers what it promises. It’s not GTA V; in fact, it doesn’t even come close. It’s actually a Snake game with extremely crude hand-drawn graphics that look like they were scanned off a napkin. Before […]
Kart racing game “Coffin Dodgers” has finally emerged from Steam’s Early Access and the mobility scooter grannies from the retirement village are free to begin their reign of terror – all while avoiding the ever-present Grim Reaper. “Coffin Dodgers” is now available on Steam and is being featured at this year’s Comic Con in San […]
In 2013, developer Stainless Games brought forth a Kickstarter proposing to revive the old Carmageddon car-combat series from the 1990’s. They got their funding and then some, and as of today, the game is officially complete on Steam. Here’s what’s in it: nine maps, 36 routes, 24 vehicles (25 if you gave the Kickstarter enough […]
“Drive Any Track” will be the recipient of Early Steam Access this week on May 21, 2015. The video game from FOAM International is a music-based game that turns any song into a unique arcade-style racing game. The action on the track is synced to the song with verses and choruses becoming checkpoints and the […]
UK developer Codemasters announced, and then suddenly released, their next title in the Dirt series (Dirt Rally) yesterday. Now you can check out four minutes of the game in action, courtesy of Gamespot. This footage was captured on a high-powered machine, so this is as good as the game can look at 1080p and 60 […]
