Today Valve has released a video of the Steam Controller in action. In the following video you can see the controller being used for Portal 2, Civilization 5, Counterstrike Global Offensive, and Finally in Papers Please; an Indie title. They are showing off how versatile the controller is across a wide range of games, some of which you wouldn’t normally think to use a controller for. Take a look below.
The Steam Controllers will be heading out to 300 lucky beta testers later this year, take a look at what they get to play with.
We here at Geekoholics.com have been wondering, what your thoughts on the next gen are? Are you planning on picking up a new Console? Wait and See? PC only gamer? Wii U? Let is know in the poll below, and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
So Nvidia posted the system requirements for Call of Duty: Ghosts on its website this morning.

Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, you read that right, 6GB RAM and 50GB Harddrive space! Well now you can get upgrading those PC’s before it is released on Nov 5 on PC.
From the creators of Cthulhu Saves the World, Zeboyd Games, comes an RPG inspired by such great works as Chrono Trigger, Phantasy Star & Suikoden. Cosmic Star Heroine is a Turn Based, Japanese style RPG, being created for PC/Mac/PS4/Vita. Currently in Kickstarter, and closing on their goal, Cosmic Star Heroine is a game that deserves your attention.
Currently they have 23 days left to go, and I urge you, if this is your kind of game, head over to their Kickstarter and help them cross the goal and get this great game made.
In Case you didn’t know, they are currently making another Godzilla movie; slated for next year, and we have had little peeps of it here and there, but this is the first real glimpse we have seen. I personally really like where they are going and hope that this turns out as good as these teasers would have us believe. Have a look and let us know what you think.
UPDATE:
Sorry guys, The video was apparently a leak and Warner Bros has pulled them all offline 😦 So here is hoping they realize it is out there, and just release it already, and If they do, I will definitely Update this Post again.
Super Mario 3D World for the Nintendo Wii U is starting to look like the first innovative Mario game in quite some time. The mix of open area 3d style and platform style is impeccable. Not to mention, FINALLY a Mario in HD (It looks absolutely stunning BTW)
I have had a chance to get some hands on time with it a couple of times now, and I must say, I had a blast. Ether with friends or alone, it is a whole lot of fun. The new powers are great (I mean a cat suit?? YES PLEASE!) It controls wonderfully, and you can use the Wii U controller. 1080p Mario is a sight for sore eyes (please release a Super Mario Galaxy in HD, PLEASE) This is gaming fun at its purest form. I can’t remember the last time a game made me giddy while playing, just from the sheer amount of whimsy. But anyways, to get a better idea of what I am talking about, take a look at the trailer below, and prepare to get excited!
Super Mario 3d World is slated to be released on November 22, Exclusively on the Wii U.
