To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Half-Life 2 Valve has released a ton of new content for the game as well as releasing it for free in it's entirety for a limited time! There is also a Half-Life 2 documentary that I've embedded here for you to view, I haven't seen it yet but plan to watch it as soon as I can. Seems like if you haven't played Half-life 2 yet or wanted to get back in, now is a great time.

Some of the changes in the new version:

* Episodes One and Two are in the box. Half-Life 2 now includes the complete Episode One and Episode Two expansions along with the base game. They’re accessible from the main menu, and you will automatically advance to the next... Read All


When I turn around at my desk and count the number of Blizzard PC boxes on my shelf I hit nine. When I think of the amount I've bought digitally plus physically I get a bit woozy. Prepare thy pocket book as there is another Battle Chest that just launched today that looks worth buying.

The Warcraft Remaster Battle Chest includes updated visuals and more for classic Warcraft Orcs & Humans, Warcraft II & Warcraft III. The games look to push things into the new age with 4K visuals and a ton of update to Warcraft III that look to sate fans that criticized the release some years ago. At $40 this won't break the bank, even if you already have these games in a much... Read All


"Introducing Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo, an interactive alarm clock that’s out of the ordinary! Alarmo responds to your body’s movement with game sounds, so you can feel like you’re waking up in the game world itself. Set an alarm inspired by five Nintendo games, with more alarms on the way as free updates as they become available. "

So Nintendo is making an alarm clock and as the kids say, I'm here for it. I'm not sure who asked Nintendo for this, seems like folks are more interested in the Switch 2.... that said, if you needs some help and want to wake up with Nintendo themed fun, this is for you. Alarmo is up there with strangely lovable Nintendo stuff like the... Read All


"Jeremy Jayne reveals the remarkable tale of how a teenage hobbyist (Dave Johnston) accidentally made one of Counter-Strike's most iconic maps. And then accidentally did it again."

Counter-Strike is the reason why I originally bough Half Life. Dust was and is one of the most iconic Counter-Strike maps and perhaps one of the most popular multiplayer maps of all time.


The Elder Scrolls: Castles launched last week on iOS and Android and I've been playing it a bit each day since. It's a good tippy tap phone game that Bethesda boasted is a spiritual sequel to Fallout Shelter. And yeah, they were totally right, it's the same basic gameplay of Fallout Shelter but with an Elder Scrolls theme. It's not just a reskin as they've improved upon many of the game mechanics in that the time passes differently and there is a bit more to the game to keep track of. Still, it's a very similar game and they launched with a bit more than the original Fallout Shelter had but already after a week I'm not sure what may keep me playing it? Is it a fun... Read All



As I was watching this video with one of my friends we decided that this game looks like a mashup of Ocarina of Time + Breath of the Wild. Echoes of Wisdom drops September 26th and I can't wait to play it when it does.


"Castles is the spiritual successor to Fallout Shelter, the popular vault-building mobile game that puts you in the role of an Overseer. In Castles, you’ll take on the role of the right hand of the king (or queen) and manage your kingdom. You’ll build the castle of your dreams, rule over your subjects, and make critical decisions about your kingdom’s future as you build your dynasty. "

I love Fallout Shelter so a new free to play game from Bethesda sounds incredible. Fallout Shelter started on phones and eventually was ported to everything including PC so I hope the same thing happens here. Also.... Fallout Shelter 2? This may be the next best thing.


In 2019 iD Software re-released Doom to nearly all the modern systems. It was a solid release, yet didn't have LAN or online multiplayer and it wasn't as configurable as it could be.
