By Mike Nelson | PC News | Oct 14, 2011 10:18 AM | Comment

Dennis Ritchie may not be a familiar name for most people, but to those of us who took a couple of classes on Computer Science in college were intimately familiar with the man's work. Ritchie, whose myriad of contributions included designing the C programming language to co-developing the Unix operating system, passed away last Wednesday at the age of 70. Read More »

Review: Orcs Must Die!

By Mike Sharkey | PC Reviews | Oct 14, 2011 8:31 AM | Comment

We've seen a number of developers mash-up tower defense and action games over the past year, creating a new genre I like to call ACTION TOWER (patent pending, all-caps yell mandatory). But from Toy Soldiers: Cold War to Trenched to the forthcoming Dungeon Defenders, no one has quite been able to find that perfect balance between strategy and combat. That is, until Orcs Must Die! Packed with tons of classic tower defense variety and polished action fun, Robot Entertainment's latest stands atop the ACTION TOWER, ready to take on all comers with traps, weapons, and one-liners.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution The Missing Link Review

By Mike Nelson | PC Reviews | Oct 14, 2011 8:00 AM | Comment

I never gave much thought to the "three days in stasis" part from Deus Ex: Human Revolution's storyline. After all, that sounds like a perfectly reasonable amount of time to travel to a secret science facility. Turns out Adam Jensen's nap was abruptly cut short and The Missing Link is everything that happens in his post-nap world. Read More »

By Mike Sharkey | PC News | Oct 14, 2011 7:17 AM | Comment

Valve announced today that its new and improved community-created content submission hub, the Steam Workshop, is now live. The launch of the workshop fittingly coincides with the one-year anniversary of The Mann Co.

Climb Into the Cockpit in New Battlefield 3 Trailer

By Mike Sharkey | PC News | Oct 14, 2011 6:29 AM | Comment

J-E-T-S, jets, jets, jets! As a Boston native and New England Patriots fan, I can't stand it when I hear the New York chant at football games, so I've co-opted it for Battlefield 3. And it actually works quite well. Try it on for size in the latest vehicle-focused BF3 trailer from DICE. Read More »

Preview: Serious Sam 3: BFE

By Nathan Grayson | PC Previews | Oct 13, 2011 6:14 PM | Comment

For a little while, it seemed like Serious Sam had decided to follow in the footsteps of the other 'roided-to-the-gills action movie parody he so gleefully mocks. Serious Sam 3 was announced and then... crickets -- and not even one of them was armed with a gun that fired flaming cannonballs. Read More »

By Mike Sharkey | PC News | Oct 13, 2011 8:36 AM | Comment
