In a week full of news, Valve perhaps delivered the most shocking one with the announcement of a Steam controller, a VR headset, the Steam Frame, and the return of the Steam Machine. Can the new, more powerful, and proprietary versions of these devices finally spark a living room movement for PCs? Could this actually be in retail stores? And how much does this hurt Xbox being beaten to the space?
The Game Awards 2025 Nominations are out, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 leads the way with 12 nominations, including for Game of the Year and both of the Indie GOTY awards as well. They are also nominated for Indie Game of the Year at the Indie Awards. So, is it really an indie? And what about the rest of the lineup? Were there some major snubs?
Plus, Sean tried the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 campaign, and he was not happy with it being always online. Red Dead Redemption is finally appearing on current consoles, Pokemon Pokeopia gets a release date, but also a reveal that its a Game Key Card. Ubisoft canceled a Splinter Cell game, and more!
