Please argue how it's not.

I can tell by looking at the pixels. Titanfall?

While the TF2 Competitive Matchmaking Beta Steam group has been pretty quiet since its creation several weeks ago, that all changed this evening with a new post by Valve's John Schoenick (Steam name: Jill). The post outlines the team's enthusiasm for the upcoming beta before discussing how the...

After being removed from CS:GO many moons ago, the recently released and equally overdue "Operation Wildfire" has brought about the return of classic map DE_Nuke, which has received a full visual overhaul and a partial redesign. The new Nuke features the same high-quality visions as that found...

Despite being a relatively quiet week as far as official news out of Valve, it did see Gabe complete his transformation into the white, male, nerdy version of Oprah Winfrey, while new updates to the HTC Vive Pre and SteamVR helped further prepare the service for launch later this year. If...

Yeah, but Glenn isn't around to fight his corner (no surprise there then).

Yet Half-Life 2 is definitely the better of the two games.

Why bother? Why not do something original? Imagine if Half-Life 2 had released and it took place entirely in Black Mesa again - people would have been pretty pissed off at how repetitive it was.

In this week's Round-Up, we're celebrating Lunar New Year with Valve by checking out a new Steam Sale and a Quest Path for Dota 2, while also bidding farewell to one of Valve's longest-standing animators, Doug Wood, who will retire later this month after 19 years at the company. If you're...

Kelly Bailey doesn't work at Valve. He was (and possibly still is) a contractor working alongside Morasky. That news is about 2 years old at this point, so I doubt he's still hanging around.

Why? A long term animator who has worked at the company for 20 years decides he wants to retire and spend more time living with his family? Considering how old Valve and the Half-Life series is, these kinds of departures will only naturally continue and increase over time. This is actually...

Sorry about that Pi, I'll be sure to ask first next time.

In my opinion, that has been the only legitimate tell-tale sign that the series could be on an indefinite hiatus - everything before that is bullshit, with more than enough positive evidence suggesting otherwise. Granted, Laidlaw's departure is one of the biggest possible reasons for me to no...

Despite the fact the Steam Winter Sale only ended a month ago, Valve are already whipping out a brand new set of deals in the "Lunar New Year Sale". The week-long event features the now-standard Daily Highlighted Deals and around 9,000 titles currently on sale, with this sale in particular...

Sorry, we're only focused on taps and water fixtures, not this Gabriel Newell person.

In this week's Round-Up episode, we're exploring Dota 2's recent influx of high quality mini-games, checking out the various intriguing HTC Vive games shown off at the SteamVR Developer Showcase, and looking forward to Team Fortress 2's upcoming Competitive Matchmaking mode! In order to catch...

The store was legitimately abandoned after negative feedback and likely poor adoption. They never added any items since launch, and never got around to implementing trading (later replaced by the Steam feature). They then stuck a permanent sale on and left it to die, although last I heard it...

Portal 2 hasn't been actively worked on in nearly 4 years. They need to get these problems patched and leave it alone once and for all, unless they want it to fall to the same fate as HL1 and HL2 (which have been repeatedly degraded by "improvements" due to a lack of an active development team).

You'd be forgiven for believing Dota 2 has recently become a virtual casino with the introduction of the Winter 2016 Battle Pass and the included Shanghai Major Compendium. For $7.99 or £5.29, the Pass gives access to a number of different activities and cosmetic items, with new additions such...

Haven't the foggiest.
