Rough around nearly every edge, but still an impressive feat for indie gaming.
Independent developers are becoming increasingly prevalent in the gaming industry. Digital download platforms like Steam, PSN, XBLI, and GamersGate have given would-be game creators an accessible method of distribution to bring their titles to the masses. These days, creating your own game from scratch and publishing it yourself isn’t just realistic; it’s a regular practice. Indie studio Dead Mage is one such developer who has entered the realm of self-publishing with their inaugural title, Garshasp: The Monster Slayer. With it, they hope to change what you expect from an independently developed video game. But while Garshasp doesn’t last long and is rough around nearly every edge, the areas in which it excels make it quite the impressive …

The new month brings new games, including the highly-anticipated "L.A. Noire." Check out five of May's biggest titles.

Valve has announced that their anticipated title Portal 2 will run on a new version of Steam built for the Playstation 3. Here is why this could be big news for Sony's console.
Co-founder of the popular video game development company, Valve, Gabe Newell and his relationship with Sony's Playstation 3 has been somewhat of a roller-coaster. Back in 2007, he was very vocal and forward about his disapproval of the game console: "[The Playstation 3 is] a waste of everybody's time and a disaster on many levels ... I'd say, even at this late date, they should just cancel it and do a do over. Just say, 'This was a horrible disaster and we're sorry and we're going to stop selling this and stop trying to convince people to develop for it'." Tell us how you really feel, Gabe! This is precisely why there was a good deal of shock over his appearance on stage during Sony's keynote at E3 2010. Evidently, he was displeased at how…
