Digital Downloads: Team Steam or Team Origin?
01 year ago

The ability to download PC games directly from the internet isn’t all that new a concept for gamers or even for any type of program for computers, but this year download clients such as Steam and Origin have exploded in popularity with gamers. With that in mind, let’s see which one is considered the best right now, in popular opinion as well as your favorite download client.
Steam
Steam is pretty much the oldest download client out there right now. Released from Valve in 2002, Steam was originally intended to be used as a simpler way to update and patch PC games. By 2007 Steam became huge as it offered full games to download without the use of CD’s.
Nowadays, Steam is pretty much the biggest download client out there. It offers tons of games, both old and new, from major developers to independent developers. That is one of three reasons Steam is so awesome. Someone just looking for a random game can search and find all kinds of games from any developer, which helps those developers get noticed better than anywhere else.
Another of Steam’s graces is the constant deals that are going on. Steam offers discounts for games all the time, from midweek deals to seasonal deals. I was able to get Dead Island from Steam during the Halloween promotions, not at a huge discount, but enough that I was enticed to finally buy the game. This is another way for indie developers to get noticed is to offer all of their games in a bundle deal. No one could really say buying 5 or more games for $10 or $20 isn’t worth the price.

Someone Make This: A Game Written by Chuck Palahniuk

in Someone Make This
The best games on the market today allow players to follow differing story paths, align themselves with the factions of their choice, and enjoy a different ending with each play. Unfortunately, most of these games are fairly singularly minded. Sure, players can play a game over and over and explore all aspects of the game, but Cole can’t be both good and evil in the same play of inFamous.
Author Chuck Palahniuk is a great American modern author who writes scathing and humorous views of humanity’s seedy underbelly about corporate life, religion, and time travel. All of his books leap from perspective to perspective, creating a journey that cannot be satisfied until the last page is read.
While two of Palahniuk’s books have been turned into movies, it is time for this great American author to explore the world of video games for his unique approach to storytelling.

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Review

in Game Reviews
Every gamer who has ever called themselves a gamer has played at least one Zelda game. Perhaps Zelda would be considered a “hipster’s game,” for they who jailbreak their Ps3 and pimp their PC with liquid-cooling for Crysis, but we have to consider that incredibly long-standing game titles stay popular for a reason (sorry, Final Fantasy, you would be an exception to this).
Is it possible for a game to better with each sequel? Yes, yes it is. Zelda: Skyward Sword has been considered by IGN to be “the greatest Zelda game ever created” –woah now.

Throw some glitter.
Wouldn’t it be nice if, in real life, one could remove a mystical instrument from his or her satchel/manpurse, play a mad tune, and watch the clouds billow into a clustered mass of precipitation? That’s how Link does (more…)
