Announcements/News

  • There's a new warframe in the game Warframe! Vauban is a brand new skin that you can either pay for with platinum (using real cash) or with in-game credits. His skills are based on deception and traps -- which can imprison enemies and cause serious damage to groups of incoming creeps.
  • Blue Bite is an Ubisoft studio based out of Dusseldorf, Germany. Today, they posted three new jobs to their jobs board. If you speak German and want to work for the same developers who made the Anno franchise, now is your chance.
  • Happy birthday to on-line MMO Maple Story -- eight years old today. To celebrate, they'll be having experience bonus events throughout the month.

Trailers

  • Narco Terror is a new game title that was announced today by Rubicon Entertainment. I can't find any info for it and Deep Silver's Web site was no help at all. It's slated for the Summer of this year for the XBOX, Playstation, and PC.

Launches

  • [iOS] Barnyard Mahjong 2: Around the Farm is a matching game with a twist: the tiles are on a 3D object. So imagine a Rubik's Cube that's all mixed up and you have to spin it around and around to find matching color squares. Same type game, except with pictures on the tiles. Very cool. While aimed at young kids, I could still see this one challenging adults. Developed by EnsenaSoft.
  • [Steam] Reus is a new game title on Steam from Dutch indie developer Abbey Games. It's kind of a sandbox game where you play as God to a tribe of tiny people. Occasionally, when you need to change everything around, you have to send huge golems to change things that displease you.
  • [Android] Puzz-Me is a free jigsaw puzzle game created by Italian developer Indie Construction. The game has a time limit -- though players can choose various difficulty levels to give themselves more time.
  • [DSi/3DS] California Super Sports is a new game out on the Nintendo shop from developer Cypronia. It features six popular beach sports: croquet, dodgeball, lawn darts, rollerblading, shuffleboard arcade and target football.
