For Valve, Half-Life seemed to be a series that would no longer be revisited before they announced Half-Life: Alyx as a VR game in 2016. But now there's a possibility that a full-length non-VR Half-Life game may be in development if rumours are true.

Looking for a new game to play? Well, prepare to empty your wallets for the Steam Summer Sale is just around the corner. Leaks of the confirmed dates have appeared online, claiming that 2-week sale will run from 25 June to 9 July 2020.

With the launch of Half-Life: Alyx earlier today, fans of virtual reality (VR) finally have a major title they can sink their teeth into. What many didn't expect was for HP to post a new video teaser on Steam titled "Next Gen HP VR Headset". We think this means HP is looking to develop a new VR headset that's on par, if not better, than the highly popular Valve Index VR.

Half-Life: Alyx will be launching on 24 March 2020 (Malaysian time) and it's definitely a VR title that many have high hopes for. In a clear attempt to build up the hype in the weeks leading up to the launch, Valve has released a couple of new videos to showcase the gameplay.

It's been a long time coming, but the Crowbar Collective's remake of Half-Life is about to get an official release. Black Mesa has been in Steam's Early Access since 2015 and its developer is finally ready to officially launch version 1.0 on 5 March 2020.

Valve has recently made an announcement that all classic Half-Life games, will be available for free on Steam from now until around March of 2020. Based on what we know so far, the end the promo should be around the same day as the official launch of Half-Life: Alyx.

Previously, we read some rumours that Left 4 Dead 3 was in the works and that certainly pique a lot of interest. Every gamer knows the Left 4 Dead series is one of the best horror FPS games in the market so to hear news about that brought some hope. Unfortunately, it seems that Left 4 Dead 3 is probably never gonna happen as confirmed by Valve. 

Based on a statement by Kan Liu, director of product management on Google, there is a high possibility that Chromebook users could install and play games from Steam in the future. This is due to the fact that Chrome OS is largely based on Linux, which is an operating system that’s supported by Steam since early 2013.

Earlier this week, it was announced that Half-Life: Alyx will be Valve's next flagship virtual reality (VR) game. While that is not so exciting for many Half-Life fans (me) who are still waiting for the third sequel, Valve has just dropped the first trailer and oh my goodness - it looks damn amazing! They may not be joking after all for saying it's a flagship VR game. Let's check out what we know so far.

Back a few months ago, Valve announced that they were developing a new crossplay method for Steam players to play together. Today, the company is proud to reveal Steam Remote Play Together and you can check it out on your Steam account right now! How much does it cost? Absolutely nothing! Well, ok. Not really, but here's how it rolls.
