I’d buy that for a dollar less! Plus, $30 for Infinite on Amazon Pinch them pennies! The acclaimedBioshock Infinite‘s first bit of DLC,Clash in the Clouds, dropped today. The arena-based combat mode is quite the shooty affair and a precursor to something that seems decidedly more interesting, the upcomingBurial at Sea. The latter is a return toBioshock‘s Rapture at the downfall. It’s also film noir styled and lets you play as Elizabeth....

Switching up the pantheon from Greek and Norse Nasscom, India’s biggest game development conference, had someimpressive projects on display this yearfrom its rising game dev scene. Among those that stood out wasRaji: An Ancient Epic, a title that already has more than polish — it’s gotshine, especially considering it’s only been in development for ten months by a team of eight members. Nodding Heads Gamespromises to deliver an action-packed adventure balanced with an emotional story....

Save the drama for a llama I’m back on my stupid-games-involving-animals bullshit, y’all. As a note to game developers, if you put alpacas, llamas, or pretty much any animal into a game with little rhyme or reason, there’s at least a 60% chance I’m going to cover it. Austrian developer Salt Castle Studio figured that out. They put alpacas in a party game revolved around soccer, and well, here we are....

Socks the Cat Rocks the Hill [Update: The owner of the prototype Tom Curtain reach out to me to provide some corrections and more information with the following statement: “The top backer does not get the prototype. There will be a funding amount (undetermined) to get the Proto. Also, the $50 is for a cart only, CIB will likely be at the $75 mark. Most importantly, I’m not using Kickstarter to make money per se....

‘Dis guy, ehhh? This may be me projecting. I think abouts-CRY-eda lot. I don’t know why. And it certainly did not invent the “guy with cool arm” genre. Still, the first half of this trailer reminded me a lot ofs-CRY-ed, and then the second half was full of characters with weird horns (sometimes one, sometimes two), luchador masks, and all sort of zany junk. WhileDisgaeais “very anime,” the series always does a good job at being more than that....

Just say no TheSteam Summer Sale‘s still going on, huh? I’ve done my best to discourage this blatant display of consumerism, but I guess Valve doesn’t much care for my opinion. It’s letting this thing run its course, twelve uninterrupted days of discounted videogames. There’s no slowing down this steam-powered locomotive. Daily Deals: The Flash Sales for the next eight hours areSteamWorld Dig($2.49),Castle Story($13.39),Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes($7.99), andYou Need a Budget 4($14....

Sega pump the brakes Sega has announced that their upcoming tarmac burnerSonic Team Racingwill not make its originally scheduled Winter 2018 release date. The game has been rescheduled for release in May next year. Speaking on twitter Sega admitted that “delays are no fun, but quality matters most. Thanks for your patience – we’ve got more to show you for TSR very soon!”. It was already looking pretty shake as we approach November but were still yet to hear a release date for the the tag-team style kart racer....

In an odd bit of news, good old BlindsideDork sent us a tip fromNintencast, wherein they report that they contacted the BBC regarding the prospectiveDoctor Wholicensed game mentioned first on David Tennant’s official site and thenreported by us earlier this week. Evidently, the BBC had this to say: “We’ve now checked and there isn’t a console game planned. There’s just a little self-contained game/toy thing coming – a bit likeTetris.”...

A licky boom-boom down Ifour attempts atSonicfanfictionaren’t enough to give you nightmares, then perhaps this bizarrePac-Manfigure complete with a segmented tongue can act as today’s fuel for the most unsettling sleep of your life. Available for purchase at last year’s San Diego Comic-Con, it’s a gold-plated iniquity that will creep out anyone in the general vicinity of it. This special edition by Avi Arad was numbered and signed and sold last year, but there are probably still figures floating around online if you really want to track one down....

‘War never ends’ I had forgotten aboutTom Clancy’s EndWar Online. It was originallyannounced just about two years ago, took on some alpha playtesters, and went dark to everybody else. Today, it is coming out of alpha and into a closed beta phase. Ubisoft sent some new screenshots along, and they look all right, for a browser-based free-to-play strategy game. Some of the in-game shots show the MOBA influence, with three lanes of combat for the tanks and choppers to traverse....

Well, that could’ve been bad Security researcher Artem Moskowsky discovered a bug within Steam’s infrastructure that could’ve been incredibly damaging for Valve. If exploited it would’ve given the user access to generate any number of keys for any game. That’s obviously bad for Valve since Steam is built around, you know, selling games. Moskowsky didn’t run wild like a kid in a toy store, though. He reported the bug to Valve....
