New Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Screenshots!

Yes, this is no April Fool, but in fact six lovely new screenies for the impending  GOTY that is Skyrim. Particularly liking the stealth kill- finally being an assassin could be a bit more smooth and sleek and we might get to kill people without hearing ‘By the gods, theres a psychopath on the loose!”, plus the Ice Wraiths look very pretty. Click on the bottom-middle of a slide to open up the full sized beauty!

Alien Breed Trilogy released today!

Alien Breed is now being released as a trilogy pack, with a little discount. As most of you know I’m an advocate of the series so if you have been contemplating before, this represents another chance to grab it. The third part of Torque will be coming up soon; work is in the way at the moment. Regurgitatum:

In 2009, Team17’s legendary Alien Breed franchise was reborn with a full next-generation makeover. Proving highly popular with the fans, the three titles – Impact, Assault and Descent were celebrated for their intense top down combat, thrilling set pieces, co-op action and stunning visuals. Now, Team17 are proud to announce the release of all three titles as a packaged compilation, now available on Steam!

Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening

The Alien Breed™ Trilogy resurrects a much revered franchise with an epic narrative, swarms of intelligent alien enemies, high-impact weaponry and rich environments; all implemented with superb technology in a state-of-the-art gaming experience, developed using Epic Games’ Unreal® Engine 3. In addition to the thrilling single-player campaign and “Survivor” modes, the games offer relentless, action-packed, two-player online co-operative battle modes.

“While it was exciting to be in the vanguard of episodically delivered digital titles, there’s something great about seeing ‘Alien Breed Trilogy’ get released as a collection,” says John Dennis, Head of Design at Team17 Software Ltd. “Having all three titles in one trilogy package makes for an incredible experience, and if gripping, survival-horror, multiplayer action is your thing, then having all three games together totally delivers on that score.”

The Alien Breed™ Trilogy will retail for £16.99/ $22.99/ €20.99. For newcomers eager to begin their journey, Team17 are also offering a further 10% discount on the trilogy for the first week of release – so be quick, grab your gear and get blasting, from http://store.steampowered.com/sub/7678

For those who haven’t seen, here is the gist of the plot and featues of DX:3…
The year is 2027, a time of great innovation in neuroprosthetics, but also a time of chaos and conspiracy and a new social divide. The “have ‘and “have-nots” are redefined by those who can afford augmentations and those who cannot. Adam Jensen is an ex-SWAT specialist who has been handpicked to oversee the defensive needs of one of America’s most experimental biotechnology firms. Badly wounded during an attack on the facility, Adam is mechanically augmented against his will and soon finds himself chasing down leads all over the world, never knowing who to trust. Adam begins to question the ethics around neuroprosthetics, and everything he thought he knew. Someone is working very hard to ensure mankind’s evolution follows a particular path. Unravel the truth behind a conspiracy rooted in the foundation of the world around you as it incites a new revolution.
