Phantom Blade Zero explodes on Steam, and its creator is "deeply grateful" to his team
"Making games is not always a rational pursuit. Sometimes, it is passion and a little madness that give a game its richest flavor." After years of hype, Phantom Blade Zero is here, and it's already Steam's top seller globally. It has even reached the number-two spot for concurrent player count, topping everything but C...

Half-Life 3 re-re-re-confirmed: A Valve dev just said 'HLX' out loud
Get ready to start talking about Half-Life 3 again, folks, because it's that time of year: Winter is closing in, The Game Awards are coming, and somebody at Valve said "HLX."HLX, for those who haven't been following along, is a rumored codename for Half-Life 3, or Half-Life something, the near-mythical new Half-Life ga...
Counter-Strike 2 player dedicates Master's thesis to rooting out cheaters, creates grade A player tracking system
Cheating: it's why we can't have nice things. Whether your online shooter of choice is beset by players targeting you through walls, or you're a Linux user who would definitely be playing more games were it not for kernel-level anti-cheat systems, the actions of a few spoil the fun for many. Banning cheating players is...
Thanks Logitech, your new AI-fueled game clipping software makes me look trash at Counter-Strike, but I'mma keep it installed
Last week in Warsaw I got to see a first glimpse of Logitech's new Replay software, which is currently in beta. It records your game, and then lets you use its deep learning (technically not AI, I know) to figure out the best clips and splice them together for you. It looked pretty neat, from what they showed me, but I...
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is getting a Counter-Strike-inspired game mode that I can't believe it never had before

An ode to the loveable, horrible, wonderful Counter-Strike community and my first tournament experience
"It sounds like you need to find some sense of belonging, a group you can call your own and feel at home with."Those words, or words to that effect, are ones my therapist recently spoke to me. I think she probably had in mind something a little more traditional—church, or one of those manly men groups, something like t...
A pro CS2 player told me he ditched his Superstrike gaming mouse for the older Superlight 2 because it was 'inconsistent'
I found yxngstxr's candidness fantastic, here, considering we were at a Logitech G Play event when he said these words to me—an event surrounding the launch of the X3 Superstrike, no less. I trusted what he was saying: he liked the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike and tried it for a while, but found it inconsistent, and h...
Speaking to pro Counter-Strike players convinced me to finally increase my mouse's polling rate, but not all the way to 8K
Azuwu - CS2 player for Luminosity"I'd say there's a difference from 1 to 2K and then, after that, 8K you don't even reach anyway. So it's only 2K or 4K, but they're both fine. I play at 4K."yxngstxr - CS2 player for Luminosity"1K is the minimum. If you play 4K, it's going to be way smoother—not 'way' [smoother], but yo...

How to get a chicken in CS2 and all variants
There are so many ways to show off in CS2, with great aim arguably being at the top of the list. Those with style can strut in a different way, with skins for their guns adding a much-needed pop to the often drab arenas. There is now another way, and that is owning a chicken. [...]
Valve shadow dropped chicken pets into CS2
You'd think the most exciting thing to happen in Counter-Strike 2 today would be its new Rush Hour update, complete with a new "fast-paced" mode, or perhaps the fact that you can now silent reload. But you would be wrong, because Rush Hour has been overshadowed by pet chickens. Chickens aren't new to CS2, they've been...
