Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3

Last year April, CI Games released Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3. This game was one of the most anticipated sniper games in 2017. This is the third offering in the series of games. The game has already surpassed 1 million copies sold. When the game first launched on PS4, Xbox One and PC, the reviews were less than flattering due to the past mistakes the title maintained since its release. Obviously in every game, there will also be some polishing up of the game. CI games made sure that they polish their new release.

Steam Family Sharing Enters Beta in Mid September

Hey there.  One of the things that many people love about Steam is the ease of being able to download an awesome game for an unbelievably low price.  Once you own that game, it's yours and will forever be tied to your account.  But what if there is one computer and multiple Steam accounts?  At this point in time, each account would need to purchase the game in order to play it.  Well... that's about to change!  Steam Family Sharing will allow game sharing on accounts that also share the same computer!  How awesome is that?!?!  No longer will your son or daughter have to use your personal Steam account to play games.  You can authorize them to access your games on thier personal account and they can now play your downloaded games.  The best part about it is that they will also have their own saved files and achievements tied to their accounts and won't affect your personal account what so ever.
