"The Half-Life community is one of the most creative and talented gaming communities out there," the founder of LambdaGeneration - who simply goes by "Alex" online - tells me. "Some of the stuff we cover just blows my mind. Whether it’s a group of people spending almost two decades recreating the original game in a modern engine or someone spending three months on a fan film, I am always taken aback by the sheer dedication people have for the series."
In just one week, the LambdaGeneration social network has amassed 1,000 users - and that number is still growing. This includes fans, creators, developers, and the staff keeping the cogs whirring. The site fills a gap in the Valve community, something in between archaic forums and the more meme-heavy Reddit. There are pages for news, modding, fan art, films, music, and lore, letting you find whatever you want with ease. Otherwise, you can sort by trending, new, and top. There are user profiles, badges, and more, combining the best elements of different social media sites to create a Valve-centric juggernaut.

Luckily, they're all going to be good ga
Compared to other multiplayer FPS , Quake Champions is extremely similar to the core Quake that puts a huge emphasis on fast-paced gameplay .

"Moving to Twitter and YouTube was a must to survive. I love old-school websites and forums, but it’s hard to keep them alive in the modern internet era. We actually used Twitter early on to promote articles on the original site but, over time, we transitioned to posting directly in smaller bites, which worked well for us."

Newcomers who want the Overwatch hero shooter experience interlaced with the sheer havoc of battle royale will likely appreciate Apex Legends .

Akin to a typical battle royale, Apex Legends groups players in squads (or solo!) to search for loot and fight on a massive map.

PUBG suffers from the fact that the players who loved it at launch have stuck with it.

A very common mistake that players make is giving away footstep noises to the opposing team. This not only gives opponents a general idea of your location, but it also buys them enough time to rotate or re-strategize.

December is relax time for me. It's the first month in a while where I play games for fun instead of for review purposes. I plan to journey on in my restart of Skyrim on PC and make time to catch up on a large pile of games, including Saints Row: The Third, Battlefield 3 (PC) and Forza Motorsport 4 while making sure I begin Arkham City, Assassin's Creed Revelations and Uncharte

Think of CrossFire as Counter-Strike but with less emphasis on repetitive maps and technical gameplay, and this time with a lot of emphasis on action and sheer speed . Despite its 2007 release, CrossFire retains quite a large fanbase today, which is testament to its replayable content. Given its age, it evidently has dated graphics. However, the game does shine in terms of character and gun customization, as well as speed-oriented gameplay reminiscent of classic
