Are Early Access Games Detrimental To The Gaming Industry?

My first article on Akufu.com is about Steam Early Access and its effect on the industry.

Kickstarter Watch #17 - Awesomenauts: Starstorm

Awesomenauts is a fun 2D platformer MOBA-style game with interesting characters and far less rage-inducing community when compared to other MOBAs. While the game have received various positive reviews, Ronimo Games needs your help to fund more characters and various additions to the game.

Starbound Pre-Order

For those who knows about Terraria, you should already know about Starbound right? the spiritual successor of Terraria can now be pre-ordered with a crowdfunding-ish model.

Warframe Review

I've done a Beta Impressions for Warframe before but since then there have been various updates to Warframe and they also change how the upgrade system works. And since now I also have a lot more hours of experience with the game I can talk about more stuff.

Warframe Open Beta and Steam Support

After a few month in Closed Beta, Warframe has now entered Open Beta. Not only that, on March 26 Warframe will also come out on Steam. So all of you who haven't tried Warframe yet, jump in now and be a Space Ninja.

Skullgirls Indiegogo Campaign Adds New Reward Tiers

The Skullgirls Indiegogo campaign was highly successful since Lab Zero got their funding goal of $150k in just under one day. Of course they aren't going to stop there and they have stretch goals already set up for the campaign which includes another character(Big Band, the first playable male character in Skullgirls) when they reach $375k and one character that the players can vote as the third DLC character when the funding reaches $600k.

Grenlight It! #1: Croixleur

Like my (rarely done) Kickstarter Watch series of posts I'm now going to start a Greenlight It! series of posts to talk about some interesting games on Steam Greenlight that might need some vote. For the first one, I've chosen Croixleur, an anime-style hack and slash game.

Steambox, from a PC Gamer's viewpoint.

The news on Valve's Steambox really made a big impression on the gaming industry. But here I am, thinking "what's so special?". Some might not agree and some could even share my views on this. Let me talk about what I think about the Steambox.

A Cheapskate's Guide to Steam Deals

For some of us, games isn't really on the top of our priority list of things to buy. For some of us, we live in a third world country where the price of one game equals food for the whole family...for a whole week. And before any asshole says that "Well if you're poor you shouldn't buy games" I say please fuck off and don't come back.
