A new twist on an old classic: All aboard the Snakeybus
What happens when you combine Bus Simulator 18 with classic mobile game Snake? We'd like to think that you'd wind up with something like Snakeybus, a game so delightfully bonkers that we can't stop watching the trailer. We suspect that we probably wouldn't be able to stop watching someone play thing one. And as for playing it ourselves... headsplosion.

Soon you’ll be able to stream Steam games from PC to smartphone
Steam is an amazing invention, a cloud-based library of games for us to all buy (on special, naturally) and then never install, play, or look at again. After all the saying does go: He who dies with the most unplayed Steam games wins. But some people must use the service for more than just playing DOTA 2 and Team Fortress 2 and those folks will be pleased with the changes coming to Steam Link. Ste...[Read More]

Steam Summer Sale 2017: the discount games you need to buy
Ah, the Steam Summer Sale. A way for South Africans to get a slight taste of Northern Hemisphere summers, even while we freeze our collective bits off in our local winter.

Bayonetta launches (at freaking last) for PC on Steam
Bayonetta has finally launched on the PC (about seven years late, but we’ll take it.) In case you’ve been living under a rock since 2010, Bayonetta is a video game. About a witch.

Rollcage returns (in spirit) – Grip hits Steam early access
Rockets at the ready – Grip, the spiritual successor to PS1 racing classic Rollcage, just left the pit lane. Rollcage was a breath of fresh air after four WipeOut games, with gravity-defying cars that had massive wheels for driving on walls and ceilings. Stage II had some of the best car combat on the PlayStation too. Grip takes all that and updates it for 2016, with Unreal Engine 4 providin...[Read More]

Light Start – Drone explosion, Steam sale, virtual Malaysia, pyramids and Tesla in India
A drone explosion is one way of mitigating avalanches We have the sorts of drones that fly around capturing video and then we have the kind that make things go boom. Well, the military does.

But combining a camera drone with dynamite might help resorts to prevent avalanches, by setting off snow movement when no-one’s in the way by using a ...[Read More]
