James Bond is getting a mobile game courtesy of Glu
You know who's had a spotty record in the world of video games? Bond. James Bond. GoldenEye was a genre-defining success back in 1997, but everything that's come before and after has been sort of… meh. Having said that, everyone's favorite super spy has yet to try his hand at the most popular platforms of today: smartphones and tablets - which seems ironic, considering the iPhone seems like a gadget that only a 70s-era Bond film could have predicted.But that's about to change courtesy of free-to-play mobile powerhouse Glu. Expected to launch in summer 2015 (that's not a typo), their untitled Bond project will be "inspired by the franchise's rich history, themes, characters, and narrative," or so says a press release.In other words, they're keeping mum on the details.Still, Glu has a pretty stellar track record in the world of free-to-play. Not only do they deliver games that frequently appeal to the action-oriented gamer, but they do it with plenty of visual style and flair. Details or no details, this one seems like one to watch.
Card Hunter gets its first expansion, Attack of the Artifacts, later this month
You may think you've conquered everything Card Hunter could throw at you, but the truth is that you've only bested all the challenges Blue Manchu's RPG-meets-CCG-meets-tabletop game has offered up so far. An expansion called Attack of the Artifacts is on the way before the end of April, bringing with it new monsters from beneath the Black Plume Mountain to put even the savviest players to the test.Creatures like Thought Munchers, Umber Bulks, Plant Pygmies and the awesome-sounding Sharkbear are waiting in Attack of the Artifacts' new adventures. Naturally, there are also new cards and weapons to aid your cause, adding to the strategic options the game already has in abundance.Fancy more PvP? The expansion introduces organized league play with new multiplayer boards and prizes ranging from Papa Manchu pizza (the in-game currency of the realm) to treasure chests and special figures. Maybe you'll even earn more grudging respect from Melvin, but don't get your hopes up.Card Hunter left me hungry for more when it debuted last year, so more content is welcome news -- and don't forget, it's coming to mobile too. There's no information on a hard release date or a price (if any, as the base game is free-to-play), but seeing as we're already more than a week into the month, it won't be a long wait.
4 Upcoming Indie Games You Won’t Want To Miss At PAX East 2014
From April 11th through the 13th, the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center is going to be crammed with tens of thousands of people in attendance for the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) East convention. In attendance at the convention will also be the iconic Indie Megabooth, a showcase of indie game developers. At the Indie Megabooth this year there will be over one-hundred games for convention attendees to check out, which is almost double last year's count.We've checked out the full list of indie games that will be at PAX East and narrowed it down to four upcoming indie games that attendees will not want to miss.
Star Trek Timelines is the next game from Disruptor Beam
When Disruptor Beam hinted to us earlier this week that its next game would be based on an IP even bigger than the one featured in the title that put the studio on the map, Game of Thrones Ascent, the natural reaction was skepticism. What could be bigger than the show so popular it crashed HBO Go during its season 4 premiere last Sunday?As it turns out, what the Boston-based developer really meant is that it's working with a brand that has withstood the fickle, ever-changing winds of pop culture fandom for decades. Get ready to seek out new life and new civilizations online and on mobile devices, as the company's next project is Star Trek Timelines.Described as a strategy RPG like Game of Thrones Ascent - and made possible by a license from CBS Consumer Products - the new game will draw on characters from The Original Series all the way through to Enterprise in a story-driven voyage that challenges players to explore the galaxy the Star Trek way. That means assembling a ship, gathering a crew and determining whether combat, diplomacy or science is the proper solution to any given situation (Kirk may add seduction in there too).If that's not enough to pique the interest of your inner Trekkie or Trekker, consider that Disruptor Beam CEO Jon Radoff sounds every bit the kindred spirit.
Kentucky Route Zero Act III before the end of May
Here's an interesting development that Kentucky Route Zero fans probably weren't expecting. Series creators Cardboard Computer - who earlier this year told their fans that it was too big a project to really give an ETA - may now in fact have an ETA!The team took to Twitter on March 29 to answer questions in a very tongue-in-cheek Magic 8-Ball sort of way. Much to my surprise, they provided a pretty solid answer to the following question from @HotAndSpicyMilk: "Act III before May 31, 2014?""signs point to yes."Magic 8-Ball's aren't infallible, and if the team behind Kentucky Route Zero: Act III is to be believed, it's a big enough game that unforeseen delays might be par for the course. That said, having a release window - any release window - is an exciting development from a studio who has publicly shunned them after their experiences announcing dates for Act I and Act II.Here's to hoping we're back on the Zero before summer solstice hits. Something tells me that'll be a weird place after that. Well… weirder, anyway.
Mojang’s Scrolls is (finally) coming to tablets
While everyone (with access to a Canadian iTunes account) has been furiously playing Hearthstone on their iPads this week, I've found myself thinking of similarly great strategy games that I wish I could play on my tablet. Chief among them? Scrolls.A cards-meets-combat game that debuted in beta last summer (read our early impressions here), we've been hearing rumblings of a tablet version since 2011. Those rumblings have finally turned into a roar. In an update on Scrolls.com today, Mojang's Owen Hill delivered the good news:"An iPad/tablet version of Scrolls is in the works! We've enlisted the aid of Ludosity to port Scrolls into flatter, more touchy devices. We'll have more news on this soon."This is great new for fans of Scrolls (or, really, strategy games in general). Ludosity has already wowed us once this year with Card City Nights, and their 2013 release Ittle Dew was one of our picks for the top games of the year.That wraps up your fantastic multiplayer strategy news for the day. Now get back to playing Hearthstone, you crazy kids.
Sometimes you just need to play Tetris on a giant building
Want to feel old? This summer Tetris turns 30. And like anyone entering their thirties, sometimes you just want to kiss your youth goodbye in the biggest way possible.That happened for Tetris this past weekend, when Alexey Pajitnov's puzzle classic was played on the side of The Cira Centre; a 29-storey skyscraper in Philadelphia.The massive project was undertaken by Dr. Frank Lee, a professor at Drexel University (who you might know better as the guy who put Pong on the side of The Cira Centre last year). According to a press release put out by The Tetris Company, Lee is hoping to break the Guiness World Record for Largest Architectural Video Game Display, which - you guessed it - he already holds for Pong.Playing Tetris on the side of a giant building is cool and all, but it's not half as exciting as the real story behind the first few years of the game. If you have an hour to kill, be sure to check out this great documentary for a taste of Cold War video game craziness.
Advertising as Art: Free To Play isn’t a documentary, but it is a fascinating experience
If a documentary is meant to provide an objective view of real-life stories, Free to Play is an utter failure. It's a puff piece -- a bit of advertising meant to show the positive influence of a product.Free to Play is a "documentary" about Dota 2 made by Valve, the proprietors of Dota 2. As a result you shouldn't really expect it to provide a negative or even balanced depiction of their own product and, more specifically, esports.Snippets of match announcers and interviews with team managers constantly drive home just how big, how swift, how valid professional gaming has become. It may be true; I quite enjoy it myself, so I can't entirely deny that it's something worth exploring. However, it's a story that's perhaps best not taken at face value from the people who stand to profit most.Of course, that doesn't mean the stories on display are bad, or the film itself uninteresting. In fact, it's a quite well-put-together little piece that provides a fascinating, if not particularly fair, view of three young people exploring a new form of entertainment.
