Early to the party.

By on

With the new year underway, we're all looking ahead to the games of 2014, the experiences that are going to define our gaming year when they actually come out. But some of the games that could make waves in 2014 are playable right now through Steam Early Access, a program that lets you buy and play games while they are still in development. There are a LOT of Early Access games currently available, with more coming every week, and while some are totally playable and fun, others are still pretty rough.

So today and every day this week, I'll be your host as we check out a bunch of Early Access games to give you an idea of what's worth playing, what's worth waiting for, and what all is going on in this brave new world of giving money to people to play their games before they're done.
