Another Set Of Titles Greenlit On Steam


 

Heroes & Generals

Heroes and Generals was actually Greenlit the previous time around, but since it was the only MMO at the time to be approved, I feel it warrants another look. Heroes & Generals is an upcoming MMOFPS by Reto-Moto. The game is an open world, free to play title set in World War 2, and mashes together first person shooter with real time strategy. Players on the ground take care of the assault while those higher up in command view the battlefield from a top down perspective and order strategic movements. Reto-Moto is made up of the original founders of IO Interactive, the minds behind the Hitman and Freedom Fighters games.

Heroes & Generals is currently in development and not set for release for some time. Players are able to sign up for a beta key at the main website.

Perpetuum

You likely already know about Perpetuum Online. Like a few of the other games on Greenlight, Perpetuum Online has already launched and has been available for quite some time. Sometimes referred to as Eve Online on the ground, Perpetuum is a single-server, sandbox MMO that focuses on players controlling highly customizable mechs in order to compete over the land, the resources, and the environment. Just like Eve Online, players are able to purchase and trade subscription items (PLEX) which would allow a player to play Perpetuum free of charge as long as they can make enough money.

Everything is manufactured by players, along with player-built settlements. The environment can be terraformed, and character progression is based on time rather than grind.

Steam Summer Sales Assault The Wallet


It’s sale time, so get out your wallet and replace the next month’s meals with Ramen because this year is looking fantastic. Right now there aren’t many deals in the MMO realm to speak of, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get in the fun! Check out the current sales below.

Get Some DLC On Steam For Cheap


Steam’s Summer Sale has yet to begin, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t get on with some DLC price drops early.

Steam Now Supports Certain Free To Play MMOs


Steam has made quite an interesting announcement today with the release of fourfree to play MMOs on the service. Why is it strange, you may ask? The clients cost nothing in themselves, and you play through Steam what you could simply download from the company’s own website for free. But aside from new publicity, what does this bring for our beloved free to play MMOs?

The games on…download are Global Agenda, Champions Online, Forsaken World, and Spiral Knights, presumably with more on the way if this works out. But I ask again, why should I choose Steam?

  • Champions Online on Steam offers 712 achievements.
  • Spiral Knights offers 57 steam achievements.
  • Spiral Knights is set to receive steam exclusive cash shop items.
  • Other games will no doubt follow with exclusive items.
So if you have Steam and you play or want to play any of these games, why not boot up the system and give them a whirl? If you’re not a fan of Steam or don’t want to download the client, well you’ve probably stopped reading this article already.

Steam Sales: Day #2 Up And Running


Help Me Gabe Newell!

First off, I have to give my apologies to those of you who partook in yesterday’s sale on Aion, and will no doubt be at my door ready to slit my throat over the price reductions that are coming not 24 hours later. A few of the existing titles are now on sale at an even more drastically reduced price, although previous restrictions still stand (IE: Sony’s restrictions on free time to existing accounts), and prices are still in USD.

Only a few changes today.

Sales that have not been altered are in standard colors.
Prices that have been reduced are in green.
New sales are in red.
Items no longer on sale are now removed.

      • The Steam Holiday Sale is Here!


      It's been a long time.

      It’s around Christmas time, and you know what that means: 24 hours of A Christmas Story! Given that Ralphie Fallout is all about A Christmas Story, how to say fudge without saying fudge, tips on not shooting your eye out, and how packages labeled “fragile” are likely not from Italy, I figured we’d do something special and talk about a few video game sales that Ralphie wouldn’t have been able to play, what with living in an era where sleds were still wooden, and people still named their children Scut.

      You know the rules. Prices are in USD, items may not be available in all regions, and please for the love of God, read the page before you purchase, especially if you live outside of North America.

      Steam

        [1] Activation and download may take up to 48 hours after purchase. PayPal, PaySafeCard, and iDEAL are not accepted for purchases of this game in Pound Sterling or Euros.

        Star Trek Online: Ten Dollhairs On Amazon


        Away team of the USS R'lyeh

        Captains log, stardate 2365 rounded off to the nearest decimal point. While on a trade mission to the Steam quadrant, our ship received a hail from the jungle planet of Amazon Rigel IV in an attempt to offload ancient relics at a reasonable price. The items themselves are data disks dating back to the early twenty first century, containing on them a “video game,” based on long forgotten dreams of space exploration. Our ship was not equipped with the necessary equipment to make use of these disks, but we agreed to forward the message to anyone who could make use of such primitive technology.

        Those looking to buy should be informed that the low prices are supplemented by delivery costs and time, making a more timely and, arguably cheaper, alternative in other sources of purchase, particularly the D2D and Steam quadrants, both of which offer this product in transmission form.
