  23-03-2026 21:31 via gamesradar.com
  
  Steam expert and indie game advisor Chris Zukowski returned to GDC this month to pry open the wall of Valve's PC gaming empire and peer into its machinations. His panel, attended by GamesRadar+, focused on "golden goose games" which clear, in his estimation, $150,000 in sales within six months of release, and "generally" have around 500 user reviews. This would also push a game into what he's previously called "real Steam," or the point where Valve's many feeds, tools, and promotions truly start

  23-03-2026 21:17 via gamesradar.com
  
  God of War and its sequel are some of the best PS2 games ever made, but Sony's Santa Monica Studio didn't really know what it was getting into when development on the epic mythological action game got underway. The studio's story was similar to many in the era: a lot of missed deadlines and intense overtime."We started God Of War in 2001, but we didn't start with the idea that it would ultimately take four years," lead coder Tim Moss explains in the latest issue of Retro Gamer magazine.
