Steam is an elephant, and we are all trying to describe it blindfolded. To bring order to this economic chaos, I have curated a list of must-play games—indies, cult hits, no brainer classics, all ones I like personally—that are $5 or cheaper in the 2026 Summer Sale. Five bucks is my threshold for “not a…
If you signed up for a spot in the Steam Machine reservation queue, you might want to take a quick look at your email, because the notices for those who made it into the first wave—and those who did not—have been sent. I did not personally order a Steam Machine for several reasons, which in…
As just found thanks to Time Extension, we followed through to Mr. Baxter’s site to see more information on his book talking about everyone’s favorite video game treasure hunter (Indiana Jones wins overall but his games aren’t really as popular).

Back in 2025, Starbreeze turned its venerable heist-shooter Payday 2 over to a new studio, Sidetrack Games, so it could focus exclusively on trying to salvage the still-struggling Payday 3. Today we got our first look at the fruits of those efforts, and it’s big news—not for Payday 3, to be clear, but for Payday…
PC gaming entered the digital domain long before any other platform, but my heart has always lied firmly with physical media. Before I joined this team and became a full-fledged PC GamerTM, I was a console gamer—a label I have long blamed on being a child of divorce and finding it far easier to ferry…
Who could forget Dispatch’s release and subsequent explosion of popularity, as hordes of gamers gathered to run and romance their own superhero squad; not me. But months later, after stumbling on a new upcoming medieval narrative RPG, those memories came flooding back. Sovereign Tower’s Steam demo released a couple of months ago, and I loved…
Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone recently gave us a small update on the progress of Haunted Chocolatier. He said that his next project is taking longer than expected due to the fact that it’s a bigger game than Stardew Valley and because he’s a perfectionist.
