Filed under: PC Valve's Steam service has a seriously sweet 50% off sale this weekend on its Rockstar games catalog. Both Max Payne titles are only $5 apiece ($7.49 for the set). Also, Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City are $5, while San Andreas is only $10. Steam is also offering its whole Rockstar collection (10 games in all) for $30. Not every game in there is a classic (lookin' at you, Manhunt), but ...

Spore's digital rights management and copy protection has gotten a lot of people up in arms. The reaction has been so strong, with nega-reviews flooding Amazon and DRM creatures flooding the Sporepedia, that Electronic Arts said they're planning on implementing a patch to loosen up their current installation guidelines. But Electronic Arts isn't the only company to ever use a built-in online copy protection system. A small company called Valve, publishers of such indie titles ...

A new mod promises to take you back in time to before the events of the original Portal, when your little inert buddy was still free to.. remain motionless. And what a mod - Portal: Prelude is huge, actually bigger than the original game. It has 8 new chapters, 19 test chambers, a new plot and ...

Whoa, whoa, whoa. The Inquirer says, “Well placed sources tell us that Google is going to be buying Valve any second now.” What? And all because of Steam, Valve’s “amazing content distribution platform” no less? Okay, I can see that. Steam is a very good content distribution platform indeed. One would think that Google would be able to code up something internally that’s very similar to Steam, but Google has a bunch of money so ...

So the folks at Forbes are thinking that Google could become a big name in the games industry, and now rumors are swirling about the internets that they are planning on doing just that in the way of all giant corporations with way too much money - buying someone else. In this case, the target is Valve, makers of Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress 2, and oh yeah, Steam. The enormously popular digital gaming distribution platform ...

Компания Google собирается купить Valve, сообщает издание The Inquirer со ссылкой на свои источники. По мнению журналистов, поисковика привлекает система дистрибуции контента Steam. Valve — крупный разработчик игр, известный по таким продуктам, как Counter Strike, Half-Life и Team Fortress. Жемчужиной компании считается система доставки контента — Steam. «Стимовская» библиотека насчитывает несколько сотен игр, а общее число активных пользователей превысило 15 миллионов. Приобретение Valve не лишено для Google смысла. Компания готовится представить Android Marketplace — систему ...

The Inquirer has published a story claiming that Google is about to announce the acquisition of computer games developer Valve, the company behind Half Life. If you’ve just thought WTF in the same way as I did when I read the report, there’s some semblance of sanity behind the move and Google isn’t interested (well we think) in developing computer games; Valve also offers Steam, a content distribution service described by the Inquirer as “amazing.” ...

This is completely at unconfirmed rumor stage, so take it with a big chunk of salt, but Inquirer claims it has “well placed sources” that claim that Google’s acquisition of Valve is imminent. It doesn’t sound like a very logical acquisition for Google, but Valve’s content distribution platform Steam is a good enough reason for Google to delve into gaming territory. With Steam, Valve has managed to do what no one else has: they’ve made ...

Filed under: PC, Business There's nothing in the way of official confirmation at the moment, but tech website the Inquirer reports that "well-placed sources" are telling them that Google will be purchasing Valve "any second now." As the site points out, Google is likely less motivated by Valve's game development than their nigh-ubiquitous content distribution platform, Steam.We, again, have no idea if this is on the money, but there have been a couple of indicators ...

Sweet. I know you’ve probably been getting by on that shareware version of Doom for the last 15 years or so, but don’t you think it’s time you went legit? Well, you’re never going to get a better price than on this weekend, as all id games are 50% off their already pretty low prices on Steam. Commander Keen? $2.50. Hexen? $5. Doom III? $10. And since I play them regularly, I can tell you ...
