There's a lot going down this weekend across various retailers. There's the THQ Nordic 10th anniversary, there's Valheim's big update, there's the latest update to World of Warcraft Classic, and a lot more. But, here's the thing. We love Half-Life: Alyx here and if there's a noteworthy discount for our Shacknews 2020 Game of the Year, then we're going to feature that above everything else. Make sure you have your VR headset at the ready and jump back into the world of Half-Life and witness Valve innovate once more.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
