Gabe Newell Reinstates Hatred Onto Steam Greenlight
I think the subject matter is tasteless and controversial for the sake of controversy's sake, but I recognize its right to exist and the customer's right to buy it. The game had been back in the news recently when it appeared on the start-up platform, Steam Greenlight It didn't take long for Valve to step in[...]

Dance The Night Away – Previewing Crypt Of The NecroDancer

Sweet Release! Ultra Street Fighter IV, Crawl, Sacred 3, August's Free Games
By Jared Cornelius Hey gang, before we get started this week just a bit of housekeeping news, I've decided to retire the Live(ish) From The Games Shop moniker.  Without getting into the boring specifics, I got tired of my ego stroking Google searches turning up results for bait shops.  It's also made less sense since our beloved EIC[...]
Wayward Manor Is A Bit Wayward In Terms Of Gameplay
 However, without the gameplay it has trouble being anything more than a forgettable puzzle game. Wayward Manor is currently available on Steam.

By Jared Cornelius   Welcome back to Live(ish) From The Games Shop.  I was content to keep complaining about the lack of releases again, because unsurprisingly this is another barren week.  However, a bright shining star was released on Friday, escaping last week's column.  So I'm going to gush about that, then give you a couple of quality download titles[...]
