Gamers! Join us in the Digital Trends group on Steam

Add as a preferred source on Google

We’re trying something new here. With Valve’s launch of the Steam Discovery Update, there’s a new Curator feature that allows us to share game recommendations with a community group, and even attract followers in a manner similar to Twitter and other social networks. It’s a fun resource, especially as it’s connected with Steam’s Groups feature.

Given all of that, we’ve decided to launch a Digital Trends group on Steam, and we’ve already started to populate our Curator feed with game recommendations. They’re all culled from some of our top reviews for 2014, and we intend to keep growing that list over time.

This is also a great way for us to just interact with you all. Comments are great, and we love when you read our stuff, but there’s a whole Internet out there. We get it. With a Steam group, we can communicate with you about events, play opportunities, and more. We’re just dipping our toes in and figuring out how all of this works. If you’ve got any ideas, send ’em our way.

Game on!

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat. Considering that, at the time of writing this piece, there are over 700,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, on a weekday no less, I think it's safe to say that the hype has converted into gamers actually showing up for the game. I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.

A world that pulls you in from the start

Two friends have used Claude to help bring the open-source PS2 emulator PCSX2 to a browser. Their project, TabStationToo, has been tested with games including GTA San Andreas and Final Fantasy XII.

The developers say Claude did most of the programming while they directed the work and tested the results. It’s still experimental, but games run locally without installing a desktop emulator.
