Can Too Much Hype Kill a Good Game's Reputation?
Hyped games is a sore subject right now after the release of No Man's Sky, a game universally agreed to be over hyped… but is it a bad game? That's hard to tell right now and is something we'll have to judge for ourselves after the dust has settled. Instead, let's take the time to view how it has affected other games in the past. Although I do have my own opinion (both good and bad) on the games mentioned in this article, I'll be sticking closely to the subject... Does too much hype and bad reviews that come as a
Snake's News - Failure Now
Aaaand another week, another piece of news. Here we go, gents. We'll begin with two big failures.MULTIPLAYER IN TELLTALE'S BATMAN IS A F*****G FAILUREWell, it turns out the "crowd play" feature won't be exactly what we wanted it to be. Remember the 2000 players judging your every move and voting for which option to take? Well, the number got cut by 1988. Only up to 12 players will be able to watch and judge you. Even better - they will be able to do it only locally. As if sitting in one room and talking about the choices was obsolete. Telltale,
Snake's News - The Nvidia Redemption
A lil' bit later than usual. I'm a human too, I have to sleep y'know. Also, I had to re-post this 3 times.GTX970 LAWSUIT FINISHEDIf you remember - the GTX970 was advertised as having 4GB of memory, despite having 3.5GB + 0.5GB in reality (don't even do the maths on this, it is a HUGE difference). Anyway, after a mass lawsuit Nvidia has lost and offered to refund $30 to all US customers who bought it.Why $30? Apparently that's how much cheaper the card would be if it was advertised as 3.5GB in the beginning.MAFIA 3: MEET THE VOODOO QUEENAnother trailer
Top Ten Most Metal Games \﹏/
A few recent releases have revived the video game/metal crossover, and after a discussion with a few members in the Opium Pulses chatroom on Steam, I thought I'd go over our top 10 video games that metal heads will appreciate. We'll also mention a few that didn't make the top 10 but are still worth checking out.10. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2Tony Hawk's video games gave a boost to worldwide interest in skateboarding and created a craze for the genre in the gaming scene too, the controls are tight, the arcade style gameplay was addictive and the soundtracks made staying in
Snake's News - Hardcore Remasters
Well, some news appeared. Someone's gotta do the job, right?REMASTERS INBOUNDWell, two remasters are coming, one of them is just rumoured and the remnants of information about it have been removed.First one is Darksiders: Warmastered Edition - upscaled to 1080p, 60FPS and all that. Same treatment Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition had. Will come out on PC, PS4, XBO and Wii U. However, if you want to get this for Wii U - your experience will be worse. Why? Because the game will be locked to 30FPS on that platform. No more info about tit- I MEAN "IT".Second one is Metal Gear

Glad to hear! The rewind feature is a great idea, but, unfortunately, we rejected it in the early stages of development. Not sure if it was the right decision : )
Your article helps with understaning what impression the game makes. Thanks and good luck you too with your efforts!

Thank you for the compliment, I have enjoyed this brain-teaser quite a bit, well done! Curious to see what those ideas will be, I'm hoping one of them to be the rewind feature. Good luck for the launch!

Thank you. I'm sure you could probably tell from reading the article, but Out of Sight is a game that feels particularly personal for me, partly due to my state while playing it, but also because I had been waiting for a Prey sequel for years and will likely be waiting forever.
I hope I was able to keep my objectivity - I tried!
I would love to return to Prey sometime for a review.
I'll have to see if I can track down a copy when I'm done with my current projects.

As someone who also loved the original Prey but tried hard and failed to enjoy the 2017 release (not a bad game, just not for me), I thought this article was really well written. Maybe one day you'll consider doing a retro review of the original?

UPDATE: There are now 100 products in the Trove. Of course, the majority of these are smaller or novelty titles, as there's no way to purchase OP points and fraud up to now basically cut away the little profit we made from things like quests or ads, they're essentially reskinned giveaways, so there's only so much we can list for "purchase" there.
The store will include both Trove and standard products, so is the place to look for any more premium games you might want - but again, as per the article, this is majorly being stripped back and will hold limited titles moving forward.September 20, 2023 -

The Trove had already been cut back, the store is where the bulk of the work needs to be done as this can't be done automatically like we could with the Trove.
That said, we expect to be able to add more to the Trove once the store work has been completed so it should actually increase a little.
