That project comes in the form of Forever Skies, “a first-person action survival sci-fi game that takes place on a destroyed and deserted Earth in the wake of a massive ecological disaster....

It’s a sad and unfortunate fact that Luigi has always played second fiddle to Mario. This devoted plumber has seen his fair share of scrutiny over the years and although he’s received praise (and his own year) recently, it still hasn’t been enough accolade to propel him past his brother.

After three years in development, Dreadlands has finally launched into Steam Early Access.

Extraordinary last second changes to big name holiday titles. Business practices so obnoxious that they’ve drawn the attention of state representatives and overseas gambling regulators. Fans of their best known series’ agitating for revolt. Short of outright closure, it’s hard to recall a worse week for a major publisher. EA, take a bow. Even before this point, EA hadn’t been enjoying the best year. Mass Effect: Andromeda was not exactly a critical flop, but the sigh of disinterest that surrounded it was arguably worse....

Following on from the release date announcement last week, Piranha Bytes’ ELEX, an upcoming RPG, now has a gameplay trailer. It’s kind of giving a bit of everything: desert wastes, arctic tundra, fantasy forest, jet packs, lava, and, for some reason, a two second shot of an NPC pole dancing in an empty shed.
