Let’s get this out of the way first. ‘Pimps at Sea’ was a long-running Bungie April Fool’s gag that probably seemed like a good idea back in 2001. It would run and run, thanks to the studio pretending this was the next game it would make after Halo, and became a regular in-joke to the extent that the earliest known build of Halo 3 was given this nickname. Bungie employees were spotted playing Pimps At Sea on Xbox Live back in the day and, over the years, little glimpses of this particular build have appeared. It became something of a holy grail and then, early in 2022, a video of Pimps at Sea gameplay appeared.

Now the whole ‘Pimps at Sea’ Halo 3 build has, excuse the pun, leaked. It can be found easily enough through search, although you’ll need a chipped Xbox or a …

One of the key issues with Asus’ big Steam Deck rival is just how much it’s going to charge for the ROG Ally. Well, it seems we no longer have to wonder because, as expected, the launch price has seemingly been listed and the high-end Z1 Extreme version is going to cost $700.

Which, I will admit, is a bit of a surprise to me. When Asus told us that “200% it will be below $1,000” I was still concerned that it was only in reference to the lower spec AMD Z1 version and not the Z1 Extreme ROG Ally. There was still a part of me that expected Asus to miss the mark and price the top-end handheld at $1,200 citing some ultra-enthusiast BS to justify it.

But no, Asus is seemingly about to absolutely ace the handheld market with what is looking increasingly like a more than worthy succ…

Just a month before it was set to go live, Endless Dungeon developer Amplitude Studios has decided that “there’s still more work for us to do,” and so it’s delayed the release to October 19.

“This will give us more time to incorporate community feedback and make the game as great as it can be,” the studio said. “During this extra time, we’ll be working on meta-progression, balancing, in-game economy, as well as loads of general polishing and bug-fixing.

“The feedback we’ve gotten over the past OpenDevs has proved to us that we truly have something special on our hands, and we want to make sure that the game reaches its full potential,” the studio said. “Your implication throughout the development has been invaluable and your support is a huge motivator for the whole team.”

Get ready for some close-up card-driven brawling, because battler Fights in Tight Spaces has a sequel-spinoff coming: Knights in Tight Spaces, a fantasy themed throwdown that’ll have you take a party of ruffians engaging in a tactical brawl against not just action movie mooks like the first game, but skeletons and wizards and rock monsters.

It’s just as stylized as the first game was, though definitely refined into something even prettier than before, with a hybrid kind of lined and woodcut print looking aesthetic that’s much easier to read than the prior game’s black-and-red-on-white.

“Knights in Tight Spaces is a tactical deckbuilding game in the same universe as Fights in Tight Spaces, the successful game by Ground Shatter. It is a standalone title that sends us back to m…

Steam has surpassed 37 million concurrent users for the first time in its history: That’s 37,242,724 people connected to Valve’s digital distribution platform at the same time.

The new record, set on August 25, represents a sharp climb in concurrent users since the beginning of 2024, when the new year ushered in a new concurrent user record of nearly 33.7 million. The number of people actually in a game concurrently has seen a comparable pop, according to SteamDB, from 10.8 million when that January record was set to more than 12.5 million at the time of this newest record.

Steam is a very reliable “number go up” operation as a regular thing but even so, this particular peak coming in the later days of summer—not exactly a time of peak gaming interest, I don’t think&md…
