A Half-Life bug introduced by Windows 2000 just got fixed at last
Half-Life recently received a big update to celebrate its 25th birthday, but a significant bug remained.

Embracer close Volition, developer of Red Faction and Saints Row
Embracer Group have announced that they're closing down Volition, the Illinois, US-based developer best known today for Saints Row and Red Faction.

Bingeing CS:GO won't get you into Counter-Strike 2's test faster, Valve say
After weeks of teases and rumours, Counter-Strike 2 invaded the internet to confirm that, yes, it was a real thing and not a figment of the community's shared imagination.

Rumours of a Counter-Strike 2 have been circulating for so many years that it’s become a recurring meme in the playerbase, almost veering into Half-Life 3 levels of wishful thinking.

Half-Life's raytracing mod is great because it makes the game look old in a new way
A new Half-Life mod adds raytracing to Valve's venerable first-person shooter, a shiny slap of 2023 lighting technology in a 1998 game. I normally think such anachronistic upgrades look awful but this one works for me. Rather than just slam fancy modern tech into an old game, the mod wants to cha...
