Valve's next Steam UI target is the Community Market, with more details and, yes, a wider layout

"Bigger," Gabe Newell chants incessantly at Steam's Valve UI and UX team at Valve. "Larger! More! Never stop making it bigger!" He screams. At least this is what I imagine has been happening over the past year, given the number of size related (mostly widening) changes that's been taking place on the storefront. Today, another UI change is on the way, this time for the Steam Community Market. Read more

"I just find AI to be creatively soulless": Casey Hudson on the controversial tech and Star Wars: Fate Of The Old Republic

It is, obviously, way too early to know anything that's worth anything about Star Wars: Fate Of The Old Republic just yet.

KingFish, then, might present a pleasant opportunity to bring you and said friend together, for it is both a city builder and an action game, where one of you gets to do the building, while the other gets to do the fighting.

Hark! Sega's mysterious and vague "Super Game" is dead, though its Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi reboots live on

Oh now! Say it ain't so! Sega's mysterious and vague "Super Game" is… dead? I'm afraid so, kiddo, so bust out the shovel. This Super Game has been a part of Sega's long-term strategy for a while now, in fact it was even meant to be out by the end of the last fiscal year. That didn't happen! Sega even said their goal was to "create a game so revolutionary that it attracts far more active users than any of the Group’s games to date." Except as of the studio's latest financial result
