  • Quick look at HATRED

    Who doesn’t like some violence in games? Anyone? I thought so. Just finished a couple of hours with HATRED. I really thought it would be kind of overhyped title, with all the Steam Greenlight drama that happened few months ago. I was wrong. The game is pretty entertaining even though it has a pretty controversial,…

  • Poll Time: Would you buy premium Steam subscription?

    I’ve been talking with my buddies about subscription based services – for example Netflix, Spotify or Office 365. And we just kinda thought that Steam should have an option to buy some sort of monthly subscription packages to use the whole catalog – or some parts of it. For example you want to play some…

  • Problems with the site, DDoS attack

    Hey guys, you’ve probably noticed that the site is slow or not available for the last few days. I just found out that the server that it’s on has some serious DDoS attack problem, if the problem won’t stop I’m gonna have to move the site somewhere else… Sorry! :( I was about to post…

  • Poll Time: Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide

    Here’s a quick poll for you guys, did you happen to play Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide yet? To me this is a really poor Left 4 Dead clone and I really wanted to like it because of Warhammer franchise. I just don’t dig this one. Anyone else?

  • Stop pre-ordering games because they suck!

    I’ve had enough of this. I think we all can agree that so far this has been a disappointing year in PC gaming. First of all, Watch_Dogs have been delayed for a few months but they’ve managed to brake it anyway, it was significantly different from the E3 trailers – although it was somehow playable if…

  • We’re turning 5 years old in December! Thank you!

    That’s right! I can’t believe it’s been almost 5 years since I’ve started the website. It all started thanks to Valve’s infamous currency change on Steam. The original thread is still on the official Steam forums! But lets just forget about the past… we all know how that turned out, basically nothing changed since then, and…
