Nether - Territorial war
Which tribe are you a part of?
It looks like Phosphor Games are all ready to launch the "Territorial war" pack expansion for their post-apocalyptic MMO game "Nether". At least that´s what the press release are stating. Because Tribes are said to be rolled out through March and April.
So if you're a Nether fan, then you don´t have to wait much longer to be a part of the territorial war!
Press release:
"CHICAGO – March 11th, 2014 – Nether Productions announced today that after running a month-long contest, fans have chosen the tribe names and uniforms for the upcoming territorial war, which will have tribes compete for control of the decaying city and its resources. The first-person urban survival game will add the tribe system, featuring bases as well as special tribe objectives and a skill tree, at the end of March. In the meantime players can join one of the tribes and begin leveling up and earning skill points in order to gain an advantage when territorial fighting begins.
As a thank you for the community’s support, Nether is releasing several new features, including a brand new flying Nether that swoops down from the skies attacking players with its razor sharp talons, a survival objective that gives users bonuses for the consecutive days they stay alive, and multi-person ATV for traversing the map while friends knock off enemies from the rear.
“Since launching early access, we’ve continually worked with players to select features for updates, including a wing suit, new Nethers and a motorbike,” said Chip Sineni, Creative Director at Phosphor Games “The tribe names and uniforms are just another great example of how our amazing community is shaping the game, and to thank supporters for their efforts, we’ve added a bevy of new content to keep their playing experience fresh and engaging.”
About Nether:
"Nether is a first-person urban survival gaming experience unlike any other. Nether forces players to make quick life-saving decisions in an unforgiving environment. In this post-apocalyptic urban world, death is waiting around every corner, at the top of high-rise buildings, and in the grasp of powerful teleporting creatures known as nethers.
To navigate this high-tension environment, players must use skill and cunning in order to obtain food, weapons, supplies, and other resources necessary to survive in a desolate and dangerous city. Players can choose whether or not to team up with others or go at it solo against the nethers, other players, and unpredictable, treacherous world objectives. In the end, players must decide if they will Prey or Pray."

Wargame Red Dragon - The overview trailer
Bombs away!
I just noticed that Eugen Systems RTS game "Wargame Red Dragon" will be released this spring. And that there´s a brand new trailer for Red Dragon as well, which i just checked out. It´s quite impressive imo. For some reason, it made me think about Command and Conquer (don´t know why though).
So i might just give Wargame Red Dragon a chance this spring!
About Wargame Red Dragon:
"Wargame Red Dragon is the 3rd title in the spectacular Wargame series of real-time strategy games created by Eugen Systems. The series quickly became a new reference point in the RTS genre, beginning with European Escalation, and then its direct sequel, AirLand Battle.
Wargame Red Dragon retains the same core game mechanics that have made the series so successful, but the action leaves Europe for the first time and moves to a conflict in Asia between 1975 and 1991. Wargame Red Dragon once again stretches the limits of the RTS genre, including: dynamic and tense gameplay that demands strategic vision and depth; a spectacular and realistic visual experience; new features such as the warships and maritime units; a perfected dynamic campaign system and much more."
Marvel Heroes - Nightcrawler
Most peoplewouldn't believe that Nightcrawler are one of the good guys. But he really is!

League of Angels - The power of the booty
Im probably not the only person that has started to notice all these League of Angels ads that pop up all over the web right now. At first i thought that it was some kind of erotic Playboy fantasy game kind of thing. But no, it´s actually a RPG fantasy browser game.
I have nod idea (whatsoever) if League of Angels are any good though. I just find it kind of disturbing that the whole game seems to focus on half naked women (big boobs and plenty of booty). And when it comes to video games.
If a developer focus a lot on the eye candy department. That´s normally a warning sign. Cuz in 9/10 cases, if the game are really crappy. And the developers use a lot of half naked women to pitch their game to the masses.
Then the game are most likely to be pure utter shit. But hey, i could be wrong. Perhaps League of Angels are a GOTY title? Let´s find out shall we!
About League of Angels:
"Long ago, in the land of Etheria, there was a league. This was not a league of ordinary men, warriors, or craftsmen, but a league of angels! Each angel, reigning over a different part of human life, insured peace and prosperity across the land for thousands of years, in return for humanity’s devotion. Unfortunately, this arrangement was more fragile than people would think.
The forces of darkness, bent on enslaving humanity, and stripping Etheria its natural resources, had risen again. Normally, the angels would rise up, send them back to the shadows, and the people of Etheria would go on, living happy, carefree lives. This time, however, things were different.
The forces of darkness knew something the humans did not, that the angels derived there powers from the Seal of Life, and without this seal, they would be severely weakened. So, this time, they stole the steal, before hatching their plans of death and destruction. Things got so bad; the forces of darkness began hunting the angels, killing them, one by one. Now the angels have turned to the men, they once swore to protect, for help. These heroes of humanity are known simply as “The Brave”, and they have sworn to repay the angels for their years of protection, by leading them into battle, and taking back the Seal of Life."
