Steam Controller review: even without a Steam Machine mate, this is a smartly crafted gamepad that puts PCs first

Well, one out of three ain’t bad. The second-generation Steam Controller is upon us, the sole survivor of Valve’s delays on its RAM-troubled new hardware. "Go on without us," the Steam Machine and Steam Frame VR headset presumably whispered to a reluctant Controller, which could only blink back tears of thumbstick lubricant as both were buried under the pile of money that it now takes to buy two DDR5 sticks.

Alleged would-be Trump assassin once made an "atomic fighting game", which Steam have now yanked from sale

Valve have disabled purchases for a Steam game made by one 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California, who allegedly tried to shoot up the White House Correspondents' Dinner at the Washington Hilton hotel on Saturday. The game in question, Bohrdom, was published in December 2018, and is described on its store page as "a skill-based, non-violent asymmetrical fighting game loosely derived from a chemistry model that is itself loosely based on reality", with a multiplayer mode that take
