From June 30 to July 10 Steam will be offering a lot of games for cheap. Steam will also have sales on different bundles, and publisher catalogs but that's not the important thing. The important information is that the games that are purchased have achievements that give you tickets. If you collect three tickets you'll be able to trade them in for different gear for certain games, different missions, and even possibly full games! Every ticket you earn also places you in a raffle to win the top ten games in your wishlist. Well what are you waiting for... get playing and enjoy summer!
Team Fortress 2 has been around for a long long time now, about four to five years. Throughout the lifespan of TF2 it's seen many updates (for the PC at least, sorry Xbox) and many add-ons such as different hats, weapons, and specialized holiday items as well. If you haven't played TF2 what are you waiting for?
When Portal was released back in 2007 it was part of the Orange Box package and served as almost a tech demo for this kind of gameplay. Not treated as a traditional FPS the player was given a gun that could open one portal on a wall and another portal anywhere else that would serve as its corresponding tunnel. Vavle has alot to live up to on making the sequel to such a hit and it looks like they've done it again in a much bigger way. Click the link to check out our review.
While at PAX East 2011 Valve treated gamers to a first look at the single player aspect of Portal 2. Everything till now has been focused on the co-op and what it entails. While it was actually not playable and video at that, it did however give us insight on what we can expect when the game drops this April.
Portal 2 for Playstation 3 will be jumping it's way in and out of PC and Macs come April 20th. Although there was a slight delay in release, with the cross-platform functions, I think it is definitely worth the wait.
