On July 9th Valve announced Steam Greenlight, a new platform which asks the community to help select some of the next games to be released on Steam.
Steam Greenlight has been developed from the Steam Workshop and will enable developers to post information, screenshots and videos for their game in order to seek support from the community to be selected for distribution on Steam. Much like the Steam Workshop developers will also get feedback from potential customers as the community rate and comment on their projects. Continue Reading
If you haven’t been on the Steam store page recently you may have missed that the famous Potato Sack Bundle is on sale again! Last time we saw The Potato Sack it was a lead up to the hugely popular Portal 2, which ended up releasing a couple of hours earlier than expected thanks to the bundle. There is no mysterious update this time around although there are rumors saying that the potato achievements are back. Could Valve be up to something? Or is this just another summer bundle sale?
The Potato Sack is currently $19.99/£14.99. Grab it from the steam store here.
The games included are:
- 1… 2… 3… KICK IT! (Drop That Beat Like an Ugly Baby)
- AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! for the Awesome
- Amnesia: The Dark Descent
- AudioSurf
- BIT.TRIP BEAT
- Cogs
- Defense Grid: The Awakening
- Killing Floor
- RUSH
- Super Meat Boy
- The Ball
- The Wonderful End of the World
- Toki Tori
It has been a while since we have seen a main Humble Bundle released, in fact it was about 6 months ago but now the bundle is back with a fistful of hits including Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Psychonauts, LIMBO and Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP. Also, if you pay more than the average and you can pick up the masterpiece Bastion! If you don’t own any of these games you should seriously consider picking up this bundle, paying $1 alone gets you the first four games and even if you already own one of them this is a great way to support the charities and developers you love!
The bundle will be going for another 13 days so don’t miss this opportunity at www.humblebundle.com.
Rocket Science, how hard can it be? Well as BBC’s Top Gear found out, quite hard.

Today on Twitter, Team Meat shared that their game “Super Meat Boy” had sold 1 Million copies! This is a huge feat for the group as 1 million is not a small feat for an indie game. This record was probably reached over December because of the games inclusion in the Humble Indie Bundle and the huge sales that were going over in Steam. If you have no checked out Super Meat Boy yet it is definitely a title to check out, it has some of the hardest platforming that we have seen in a while, not to mention the most entertaining.
