Tonight on the Indie Game Show…
Not Games and NotGTAV!
This British-based group are dedicated to taking the mick out of games we have played and loved, setting them in the UK and putting their own unique spin on them. Their game – NotGTAV – is available on their website for just £1.99
They do this all for a great cause, raising funds for a charity called Peer Productions which works with vulnerable young people to talk about issues such as teenage pregnancy and addiction using plays and films as a medium, and works to get these young people into drama schools or other higher education after high school.
Fans of Sid Meier’s Civilization series, prepare to be blown away. Maybe literally if you happen to be standing too close to the rocket jets as they launch.
Today a trailer was made public for what appears to be the latest in the game series, that takes the well-established game mechanics of the series… and then sets them on strange alien worlds. That’s right, Civilization is going into space with Civilization: Beyond Earth.
The trailer itself is beautifully done and visually seems set in a not too distant future where mankind leaves the homeworld to seek new, uninhabited worlds to settle and develop further. Given that civilizations in this game start from the end point of the last game technologically (with rockets), the tech tree in this new game are taken from various sources of science fiction with such things as bio-genetics and cybernetics (yes!) being available in a ‘tech web’ system that guarantees no two civilizations will develop the same way. Ideologies also play a part in the game, affecting the development bonuses and appearances of units and buildings for the civilization that chooses them.
The game will release in the US, UK and Australia sometime during the third quarter of this year, so keep your eyes peeled for more news and information on the horizon. It’s sure to be one hell of a journey once we finally get into this game and launch our rockets to the wide reaches of outer space…
Those of you, like me, that thought Hearthstone was merely a trading card game will no doubt be pretty surprised and no doubt excited by todays news of a new adventure mode coming to Hearthstone in the future.
Curse of Naxxramus: A Hearthstone Adventure is the title of the release announced, featuring several wings, each with their own challenges and bosses to face. Taking place in the necropolis home to an old World of Warcraft vanilla raid that was later moved to Northrend in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, players will get to experience the death filled arena with a brand new board worthy of it’s plagued undead nature.
Be prepared for battle though, chances are this will not be for the feint of heart. The bosses will each have their own unique cards and hero powers so be prepared for whatever may be thrown at you. Featuring Maexxna, the humungous spider, the not so fungi Loatheb, and Patchwerk the abomination, careful not to stare at him or he’ll take your head from your shoulders…. you know, with cards.
The whole adventure will not be released all at once though, new wings will be released over a 5 week period, and with there being an entry fee to try your hand at taking on the demons within, you might just be glad of that extra time.
Also coming with this adventure will be 30 new cards, some of which have already been revealed. These cards are said to not only be available for the new adventure but will also be playable in the normal game modes. This will certainly shake up the ranked matches as new decks and new combos become more popular.
For those of you who are a little bit more casually inclined, you might be interested to hear that after you complete each wing of the necropolis, you will be rewarded with a guaranteed legendary! Soon you could be throwing bananas at your foes with King Mukla, charging headlong into battle with your own Leroyyyyyyyyyyy! or controlling the flow of time with Nozdormu. With the new cards, will we see new legendaries, one has already been revealed, Baron Rivendare, but will there be more?
Orcs Must Die is quite the fun franchise. Who doesn’t like placing devious traps and sending those green goons to their deaths? With the sequel, Robot Entertainment gave us even more orc squishing goodness and threw in cooperative play.
Now the developer has seen fit to give us a brand new installment in the series, and this one is aimed squarely at team based combat.
Check out the trailer below and let us know what has you excited about this game:
