RPS reports that the PC demo of the huge open-world racer Fuel is out now for anyone to try- you can download it from here if you’re interested. I’m downloading it as I write this, as I’m eager to see what the game is like. I’ve been playing Burnout Paradise on my PC a lot [...]

No, silly. That’s not happening in this lifetime. I joke all the time about Crysis running on a cell phone, but the guys at TechCrunch have managed to do so- or at least make it look like its so. Rather than running Crysis right through the phone, TechCrunch ran the game on a PC then [...]

Sure, I posted about Empire: Total War yesterday. This is important enough to warrant another post, though: the game is now 50% off (as is the Special Forces Edition) on Steam. If you like strategy games and don’t own this game, your “it’s too expensive” excuse is now void- this weekend. Remember, those of us [...]

True to their word, Valve are going to release a Left 4 Dead update next week, focused mainly on the community maps that have been created, and pushing for more to be made in the coming months. The update includes a much better matchmaking system, support for community maps, the full, non-beta SDK release, and [...]

A huge Empire: Total War update is heading to players on Monday, Shacknews reports. Update 1.3 will include processor optimisations for a better frame rate, 14 brand new units, balance changes, and a host of bugfixes. In short, this is a huge update which has free stuff included, and you should be very happy if [...]

Yes, it’s propaganda to get you to join the armed forces. However, a free game is a free game, and the perfect price tag makes it worth mentioning at least. America’s Army 3 is out now on Steam, free to all. The game features Steam achievements and Steam Cloud support, meaning your keyboard setup will [...]

Even though Final Fantasy XIII is still not out yet, yesterday at Sony’s press conference Square Enix announced that Final Fantasy XIV was in the works for the PlayStation 3 and the PC. FFXIV will sort of be a sequel to FFXI in a sense that it’s another MMO and not a standard role-playing game. [...]

EA and Crytek announced today that Crysis 2 will be coming to Xbox 360, PS3, and of course the PC. No release date or additional info was announced, but since Crysis was actually a great game hidden under hype about graphical prowess, I’m looking forward to this. Console fans should rejoice too, since the game [...]

Shacknews reports that Ace Team’s recently released game Zeno Clash will be getting a sequel. “ACE Team wants the next installment to be much larger in scope, so the new game will feature open ended gameplay with large explorable environments and RPG elements,” the source notes. “The unique melee combat system that made the first [...]

If you haven’t picked up the console version of Street Fighter IV in hopes that the PC version will roll around soon, or have been worried that the PC version of the game won’t run on your computer, then you’re in luck. Capcom just announced the specs for Street Fighter IV, and it doesn’t look [...]

A popular criticism of gaming on the PC is the cost of upgrading your machine to meet the specifications for all the latest games. What people who say this tend to forget, though, is there are plenty of games you can play on your PC without needing a hulking beast of a computer to run. [...]

Capcom have confirmed that resident Evil 5 will be appearing on the PC “later in the year”, as well as Street Fighter IV and Bionic Commando in July. Capcom says that “all three games will be optimized for the PC platform and will have new PC-specific features added to the already great games.” Bionic commando [...]

As Ripten’s resident coward, I still haven’t played F.E.A.R. Now F.E.A.R. 2 is out, and there’s a 100% chance I’ll never play that either, but for those of you that own F.E.A.R., you’ll be glad to know that the newest DLC is out, and it’s insane. Though I can’t say I’m a fan (or even [...]

Braid is now, and has been for a day or so, available for PC users. You can get it from Greenhouse, Steam, Gamersgate, and Impulse. The reason I post, rather than to simply let you know it’s out, is because Jon Blow, the game’s creator, has been posting troubleshooting tips on his blog. If you [...]

Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor I’m not exactly a fan of the Company of Heroes series, so I can’t say that I’m excited for THQ’s latest RTS, but I can say that the trailer does make the game look fun. If you’re into RTSes, or at least the Company of Heroes series, you can [...]
