Combat gets colorful in Ankama’s upcoming Tactile Wars
By Jim Squires
War is hell? Sure - but it can also be downright adorable. A teaser trailer for Ankama's upcoming Tactile Wars hit the web over the weekend, and while they're don't seem to be a ton of details quite yet, what's been teased has us eager to learn more."In Tactile Wars, you are… THE HAND, the supreme commander of an army of pigments," reads the game's official press release. "Take control of your troops via innovative and intuitive touch gameplay and dynamic gestures to create your squad formation."So it's… Advance Wars meets Paint-by-Numbers? Risk and the Magic Marker? We have no idea, but we're damned curious to find out. And since Ankama is the team responsible for DOFUS, a fairly respectable strategy RPG series in France, it seems safe to assume they have that side of the equation mastered. Still, with so little info on the gameplay, we're left scratching our heads on this one a bit - and it looks like we might have to for a while longer for answers. Tactile Wars currently has a very broad release window of "later this year" for mobile devices.3 Prehistoric Games You Should Be Excited about
Anachronistic issues aside, hunting dinosaurs is something that passes through the minds of most children, —and speaking for myself, many adults. Sure, Jurassic Park spoiled the fun by showing us the realities of such a pursuit, but here's to hoping that most of our readers don't honestly see a porta-potty covered in bamboo as ample cover from a Tyrannosaurus Rex.The Stomping Land, from game developer Alex Fundora, may be the closest thing we get to hunting dinosaurs within our lifetime. Within The Stomping Land, players will have to hunt dinosaurs to survive in the game's vast wilderness. The multiplayer aspects combined with the survival mechanics position The Stomping Land akin to Day Z as far as gameplay goes. You know how anxious you get in Day Z, when a random player comes running your way, out of the woods? Imagine how you're going to feel when a random player comes storming out of the woods...on the back of a 15ft tall carnivorous dinosaur.Last summer, Fundora took The Stomping Land to Kickstarter where he managed to pull in over $100,000 to go towards the game's development. Nearly a year later, development is coming along nicely, with Fundora working on implementing one of the coolest features I've seen in a game: celestial navigation. There is no map in the game, and players will have to use the stars to navigate their way at night. During the day players will have to look out for footprints and listen for dinosaur roars to indicate the location of specific species.Source is a dazzling game about a cybernetic firefly trying to save its universe
Few games grab my attention as fast as Source did. There are just a handful of games that I discover each year that so completely engage me that I feel the need to watch the gameplay trailer three or four times, before I feel I've fully digested what I have been watching. From the spectacularly beautiful scenery, to the instantly charming buzzing protagonist, to the world as a whole, Source presented me with a universe I've never seen before, but one I immediately wished to be a part of.If all goes well with the Kickstarter campaign, Source will be out on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Wii U by August 2015. The husband and wife development team behind Source are drawing inspiration from many sources, Tron perhaps being the most notable. They are also describing Source as a Metroidvania experience that features no dialog or cutscenes, relying on "visual storytelling that unfolds dynamically" to plot the adventure.Minecraft: Realms launched, Vita and PS4 releases, and…Denmark?
Earlier in the week, Mojang launched their Realms service for Minecraft. For $13 a month, Realms allows players to host their own Minecraft server which 20 players can visit and play within. Currently, Realms is only for PC gamers, but Mojang has revealed plans for Realms to come to both Mac and Pocket Edition players in the future.Hosts of a Realm (the subscriber) have complete control over who can join the server as well as the ability to add and remove players from the guest list. Frequent server-wide backups ensure that the host can easily revert the realm back to an earlier state if something goes wrong. Mods and texture packs are not yet supported, but Mojang plans to add them in the coming months.Mojang also revealed plans to have Minecraft on the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4 by the end of the year."They probably won't be released simultaneously," Mojang's Owen Hill explained to Polygon. "We're going to release on each format as soon as it's ready."This Week in China: Want to know how much Chinese game developers make?

By Steven Strom
I've never seen the draw of player-versus-player in MMOs. My favorite aspect of such games is exploration and cooperation, both of which fall away immediately when stuck in a tiny arena with a bunch of goons more interested in killing each other than completing objectives.Ignoring either of those issues, PVP (outside of EVE Online) feels pointless. It's sectioned off: a means to its own end that doesn't result in the completion of quests, leveling up or fighting massive bosses.The Elder Scrolls Online remedies the first two problems, only to introduce a new, creative kind of boredom.Get RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum for just $4.99 this weekend
