Valve Is Trolling Us With A New Half-Life 3 Leak
11 Oct 2015 at 10:39 pm UTC Likes: 1

Never got into HL till I beat Black Mesa, too bad the last 2 chapters on Source2 are incomplete.

Obv HL3 is in development but to admit that would require them to commit to releasing it. I don't think they're willing 2 release HL3 unless it's perfect since their base expects godlike fun & story.

HL3 SteamMachine skin would own & sell like hot cakes.

Storm United, The Great Looking UE4 FPS Is Finally Getting An Update

I've been following this game a while now and I sometimes play online.

When I play Storm It feels very Halo, CSS, and CoD-ish which is fantastic because I plan to play it on my Steam Controller. It's been a long time since I had my fix from Halo 3.

Definitely my #1 anticipated SteamOS FPS - however, they seem like they're holding the reigns back to really draw the public in and unleash the hype as the beta servers are a ghost-town and whatever master plan they have they're content to wait on as long as it takes for them to get development where they want it.

It is good to see them communicating their intentions and progress - good news or bad news. I hope to see success in their near future as a FTP FPS. And I guess I'll get some Early Access Loot which might be worth something someday if it's tradable/saleable.

Red Eclipse: A Lightweight, Open-source, Highly-engaging FPS

The mechanics of this game really look like the draw here - and they look well done.

Gameplay & Mechanics trump graphics as long as the graphics are not as bad as Half Life 1.

ILikeMoney Is One Of The Weirdest Games I've Seen For A While, I Like It

This doesn't look fun. The art comes off as Gromit and Wallace and the comedy feels "try-hard".

The game-play appears confusing aswell, most games have some kind of Genre, like StarCraft / WarCraft / RTS or Tycoon, or MMO WOW 3rd person, or Halo/CoD FPS and you know what to expect.

This on the other hand doesn't feel like it fits in any Genre - it feels like a World of Goo meets Mario Galaxy/Planetary Annihilation (except with bad art) - I don't think those mechanics necessarily compliment each-other.

Scraps: Modular Vehicle Combat Released For Linux, Looks Like Fun

The Twisted Metal ist mechanics look fun.
The lack of textures isn't my cup of tea. Feels intended for ages 8 - 14.
$15? I think I'll wait for something else that fulfills my driving derby style destruction fetish.

Until then Robocraft is free and allows players to build death vehicles with guns so It's not really a untapped offering as there are contenders in the arena for my playtime.

Hyperspace Pinball Released For Linux, It's Quite Cool
30 Sep 2015 at 8:40 pm UTC

Quoting: NyamiouThis looks boring compared to a good old Sierra 3D Ultra Pinball. They're abandonware so you won't find them on Steam or GOG but you can find cheap CD on eBay (or download them like everyone else) and they run without any issues at all on Wine.

@OP - I think I'm a sucker for these kinds of games, I was jamming to Beat Hazard the other day and I love games like EDGE, Marble Blast, Geometry Wars and apparently Hyperspace Pinball.
