After years of experimenting with intrusive and cumbersome DRM systems, it seems Ubisoft has finally decided to go down a different path when it comes to combating PC piracy: just release free-to-play titles.

It's consistently impressive how many small game developer studios with meager budgets and limited resources are cranking out such awesome games. Some of the most intriguing and innovative titles to launch this year hailed from the indie scene, and there's a lot of good stuff cooking just below the radar. Looking ahead at 2012 and beyond, quite a few sexy indie games are on the horizon for the PC. Here are five gems you don't want to miss out on when they launch. Read More »
With console reviews claiming that Batman: Arkham City is one of the best games of the year, the extra five week wait for PC gamers has been interminable.

It's been awhile since I've sat behind the wheel of the Need for Speed franchise. I even missed out on Criterion's well-received Hot Pursuit remake last year. I loved loved Burnout: Paradise, but this is a Need for Speed game I'm reviewing here so I should remain on point. Need for Speed: The Run, developed by Black Box (Hot Pursuit 2, Most Wanted, Underground, and Carbon), is billed as the culmination of the studio's experience. But did the pressure of trying to follow in Criterion's footsteps cause more harm than good? It's a little bit of both actually. Read More »

To help celebrate the most serious guy we know, we present three very Serious Sam wallpapers. Click on through to grab 'em. Read More »

The mere mention of it sends fear into the wallets of any PC gamer. It makes children cry, old men load their shotguns, and probably kills a couple of kittens. We're talking about Steam's annual sale through the Thanksgiving holiday, dubbed simply "Autumn Sale." Read More »
Riot Games made a splash when it announced it would dole out more than $5 million in prize money for League of Legends Season Two, and Valve's DOTA 2 made its debut at GamesCom with a $1 million tournament.

So I obsessed about it for days, reawakening a potentially life-destroying Minecraft addiction -- a fact that's now written all over my unwashed, un-shaven face. When I blink, I see blocks. When I dream, Creepers are everywhere. Read More »
Black Friday and Cyber Monday (and Regular Sunday and Jewish-Sabbath Saturday in between) are almost upon us which means only one thing: It's time to heed Jim Cramer's advice and buy, buy, buy a fiscally irresponsible amount of videogames. After all, you've had a hard year, and all your cool friends are buying the latest, greatest -- well, at least the latest -- new games, and you've gotta fit in. But there's a fine line between being thrifty and plain old dumb with your money. Read More »
