Co-op with your PlayStation Move Controller.
For everyone with Portal 2 for the PlayStation 3, another pack of DLC will arrive later this year. Utilizing the PlayStation Move, the new pack of DLC, titled Back in Motion, will include missions optimized for the aforementioned controller. The content had previously only been enabled for use with the Razer Hydra peripheral on the PC.
The upgraded shooter will launch for $15.
Earlier today it was announced that Valve has pinpointed a release date for Counter Strike: Global Offensive. Players can expect the upgraded shooter on August 21 on the PC for $15.
The rumored program has now been formally announced.
Rumors surfaced last week about GameStop planning to sell voucher cards for the PC platform, Steam. Pictures of the cards surfaced on the Internet, but Gamestop nor Valve offered an official comment on the rumor. A press release yesterday validated the rumors, confirming that GameStop now carries pre-paid Steam cards for quantities of $20 and $50.
You might get jelly if you play on a console.
In just one week, PC and Mac Portal 2 players will get the chance to build their own single and multiplayer puzzles using an in-game editor that will be added with the second batch of DLC, the “Perpetual Testing Initiative." Although there is no word yet on this DLC coming to consoles, the fact that this update comes in the form of an in-game editor should provide some level of optimism for console supporters.
All PC versions of the game will include Valve's interface.
2K Games and Gearbox Software have announced a collaboration with Valve to include Steamworks, Valve's framework for games, on all PC versions of Borderlands 2. Steamworks features include Steam Achievements, downloadable content, auto-updating, multiplayer matchmaking, Steam Cloud support and more.
Warcraft developer issues a notice of opposition to Valve's mod based game.
The acronym DOTA may not mean a whole lot to some people, but it apparently means a lot to Blizzard. Short for Defense of the Ancients, DOTA began its life as a popular mod for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and the expansion The Frozen Throne. Valve, a company that is decidedly not Blizzard, took notice of the mod’s popularity and began development of a sequel, aptly titled DOTA 2.

The PC game portal posts some impressive numbers.
If you play PC games, it’s pretty much impossible to not love Steam. Between insane sales (like the recent holiday sale), built-in achievements, and a large selection of games both big and small, it’s tough for competing services like EA’s Origin to keep up. That may seem like an obvious statement, but Valve released some figures today that show just how far ahead the PC digital download portal is.
That's right--every game. Also, tons of stuff on sale!
Steam is synonymous with two things: being the largest PC gaming digital distribution portal and putting on crazy sales. Though some items have seen some deep discounts between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the real sales have just begun today. You can find prices slashed across the board; for those adventurous types, purchasing an entire publisher’s catalogue of games is a simple click away, at prices that seem almost criminal. But that’s not all that Valve has in store for PC gamers looking for some cheap deals. Steam members can participate in a type of Alternate Reality Game (ARG) to win some sweet prizes.
