Upcoming Indie Game: Natural Selection 2
I just saw that Natural Selection gets a sequel: Natural Selection 2. A hybrid of first-person shooty stuff and real-time strategy game — reminescent of good old Sacrifice (a very underrated gem), at least as far as I can tell.
Now this alone might not have been news-worthy, particularly since it’ll take some more time before [...]
Shooter News (TF2, L4D, QL)
I said that I’d post about TF2, L4D and QL, so here goes. They all have share-worthy news.
Left 4 Dead Survival Pack
Left 4 Dead did get a new update a couple of weeks back, which improved the balance a bit. I liked the Smoker changes, but other than that, it was a bit less spectacular [...]
Unreal Tournament 3 Titan Pack
Unreal Tournament 3 lives! If you don’t believe it, just look at this week’s Steam charts — it got to number 3. The recent free UT3 weekend was such a success that for some, it was a failure; the Steam servers were hammered and many didn’t get to finish downloading the game in the first [...]
World of Goo has a Soundtrack
Well, it always had. But now the sountrack to World of Goo (which I reviewed earlier) is actually available online, too.
Get the soundtrack from here.
If all the raving reviews everywhere didn’t win you over, maybe this will And maybe you, just like me, merely appreciate that the independent developer that you already supported [...]
Samuel Schmid is leaving

The SVP, which was Schmids party until the end of last year, was partially [...]
NaN votes for Obama!
The US citizens have their voting machines, us here in Switzerland have our big media. Since they’re so much more professional than us bloggers (yep, they are, I have the links to prove it, in German), I’m sure they can tell us the current standings when it comes to the US election?
Of course they can! [...]
Good Old Games, Beta now Public
Just a short note … remember that post about Good Old Games that I made recently, when I said something along the lines of “hihi, you can’t get in”?
Well, the beta is public now. And they added some more games. So go ahead and knock yourself out with awesome old school gaming bliss!
Also on Joystiq.
UT3 Expansion in the Works
It seems that Epic recently dropping licenses left and right hasn’t affected the sales of Unreal Tournament 3 (over a million sold-through, apparently) nor its future. In the words of Epic’s Mark Rein (the guy who’s blaming piracy for everything):
Our arrangement with Midway isn’t a license but rather a straight publishing agreement and Midway is [...]
