While others emphasized what Valve was up to, this blog was all about what fans were doing. It started out as a website before transitioning into a Discord server and a Twitter page. Now, it’s a fully-fledged social network in the making. I’ve long followed LambdaGeneration, so I was ecstatic when they reached out to me about an interview for the new initative. This group has always been the go-to place to find what the community is up to, or to uncover hidden gems - a new resource like this is a total game-changer.
Oh, December. The month when I despair of ever playing all of the games I missed during November. The only new game on my radar for the rest of the year is Mario Kart 7 . Otherwise, it's all about catching-up. Lord of the Rings: War in the North, Forza Motorsport 4, and Kinect Sports Season 2 continue to be the go-to games in my house, but Rayman: Origins and Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword top the list of games I can't wait to get lost in over the holidays. I'm also really liking what I've seen of the new SSX -- if I could play any of next year's games right now, that would be the
Tekken takes these pains and doubles them with tons of jargon that newcomers have probably never heard. Not only that, but each character has dozens of moves, with some even having over 100 moves on their lists! If learning this for one character isn't intimidating enough, newcomers will quickly find that it's important to understand match-ups and Www.Counterstrike2Guide.Com learn other characters' moves in order to play off their opponents. Like many of these games though, it's incredibly rewarding to learn Tekken and climb its ra

Newcomers getting into the FPS genre might feel overwhelmed at first at the idea of Rainbow Six: Siege . Due to the tactical nature of Rainbow Six Siege , players need to rely on careful planning, reconnaissance with drones and cameras, and even reinforcing (or breaking through) walls and doors. On top of these mechanics are a wide array of Attackers and Defenders that, with their unique abilities, augment a team's already-expansive tool
"I came up with the idea in 2015. I could see how traditional blogs like ours were struggling as people moved to social media. The idea was to make something easy to use and run by the community. We’d seen others get their own dedicated apps and platforms like Doom with the Slayers Club and Star Wars with the Jedi Council Forums. We also love the idea of making a modern version of Planet Half-Life, which was a popular community-oriented fansite back in the day. We want to fill the void that is left."

Players who want a decent alternative to Counter-Strike would want to look at Black Squad , a free-to-play multiplayer FPS . Released in 2017, Black Squad seems reminiscent of other F2P FPS titles, with its own share of items in the cash shop. However, while players can whale real money buying guns, skins, and other cosmetics, they can also use in-game currency into buying the same it
It can be incredibly tempting in battle royale games for players to try and kill everyone that they see, and this is especially true in Danger Zone . However, one potential problem with doing this is that a player may stumble upon an enemy that has better equipment than they
Currently, there is no way to financially support the self-funded fan-site, but there are plans to potentially open a Patreon in the future. LambdaGeneration seems like the inevitable next step in this saga, a hot-spot for Half-Life devotees to enjoy.
This December my gaming focus is squarely centered on the PS3 versions Skyrim and Assassin's Creed: Revelations . I still have yet to give Arkham City a whirl, but it is on my short list to play. On the PC front I'm still playing Deux Ex: Human Revolution . What can I say? I'm a perfectionist, and it's a great game. Racing games have never been my forte but Forza Motorsport 4 will be the next game I purchase as I try to broaden my horizons a bit. However, I'm still itching with anticipation for Mass Effect 3 , and wonder how many play-throughs of ME2 I can manage before I get my conditions "just right." Stay safe during the holidays Rant
While all of these seem a bit overwhelming, Siege does help genre newcomers get familiar with skills only pros often learn over time. Due to Siege 's mechanics , newcomers can train on precision aiming, listening to odd sounds around them, and the value of quick thinking in high-stress situati
December is the month that bats clean up for gamers, allowing us a chance to catch up on all the titles we missed this year. Among those titles I missed are Skyrim, Skyward Sword, and Battlefield 3 , so I hope to give those a go over the break. On top of that I'm also looking forward to finally procuring a 3DS and trying out Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 . And for my family fun I'm looking forward to checking out Scene It? Movie Night . Happy Holidays Rant
