New Steam Store Releases: Axiom, Inc
I realized that I really appreciate having the ability to organize a large portion of my games all together in one place, as well as being able to categorize them as I see fit. Furthermore, I appreciate the fact that many of the games available on Steam, both offer, and clearly display important features like achievements (something that I fell in love with on the Xbox 360), and controller support (for my 360 controller). With Steam, I've found that not only can I catch up on oftentimes better looking versions of the same excellent games I never finished on the 360, but also great games that appeared on other platforms such as PSP, and PS3 (and PC of course), all brought to one easily accessible location.
I still appreciate everything that GOG brings to the table, and I will definitely continue to purchase games there as well, but I think it's safe to say that for the reasons I've listed above (as well as others), Steam has finally made a convert out of me. Since I now have a new-found appreciation for their service, I've decided I should start keeping track of the weekly Steam releases, as I currently do for the PlayStation Store and Nintendo eShop. So, without further ado, I present the new Steam Store releases from this past week (after the break). (FYI, the highlights are the quite excellent, and previously-PlayStation 4-only, Axiom Verge, the stealth/strategy mash-up, Invisible, Inc, and the Final Fantasy IV follow-up, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years.)
- Axiom Verge (Thomas Happ Games, Single-player, $19.99) (Controller Support, Steam Achievements)
- Invisible, Inc (Klei Entertainment, Single-player, $19.99) (Steam Achievements)

- Virtual Pool 4 (Celeris, Single & Multi-player, $24.99) (Steam Achievements)

- Windward (Tasharen Entertainment, Single & Multi-player, $14.99) (Controller Support, Steam Achievements)
- Interplanetary (Team Jolly Roger, Single & Multi-player, $14.99) (Steam Achievements)

Good Modern Games Are Now DRM-Free!
Well, this afternoon all that changed.
GOG are now selling the Saints Row series of games.
Along with this, the Darksiders games are also coming to GOG. [both I + II plus – weirdly – some DLC for two.]
Lastly, if you’re craving some shooter-based action, Metro, Last Light Redux is on offer as well.
All of the games are currently discounted for this week, so buy them now if you want them cheap, but be aware that in order to get the 75% discount for Darksiders, you will have to fork out for the entire Darksiders bundle.
