Unity Technologies, with their Unity 3 game engine, was among the vendors that came to us with congratulations, goodwill and offers of support. Their engine stood out as an early front-runner on point 1 of our requirements. The artists loved its support for the native formats of the art tools we already use (3DS Max and Photoshop). I also like its built-in version control for assets and code. At first it seemed to be missing a leg on point 2 (support for Linux platform), but I knew that we could get source code and therefore could provide the Linux port ourselves. Given that the engine is designed and structured to support multiple platforms, I felt it would not be insurmountable to port it to Linux (or actually hire some outstanding external contractors we’ve used before to do the job). After talking to Unity about this, we found they’ve already been working on a Linux port, so Unity is supplying inXile the linux port alpha source code. InXile will work with Unity in order to port Wasteland 2 to linux.

Torchlight II, currently in the closed beta testing stage, allows up to six people to party up online. However, I get the feeling that Runic haven’t yet decided on the maximum amount of players for the final product, as none of their press materials explicitly state what it is. Runic co-founder Max Schaefer did go on record last year stating that the final limit would be between 4-8. What is certain though is that the finished product will allow friends to play over LAN as well as solo offline, unlike Blizzard's upcoming Diablo III that requires a constant connection to the Battle.net service.

“Project Fedora” will continue the amazing adventures of Tex Murphy, the down-on-his-luck P.I. in post-apocalyptic San Francisco. This long-awaited game will be the sixth in the adventure series, which includes the award-winning games Under a Killing Moon, The Pandora Directive and Overseer. Project Fedora will reunite creators Chris Jones and Aaron Conners and feature their trademarks of rich interactive storytelling and immersive gameplay. The new game will incorporate the very best of the classic Tex Murphy elements - sci-fi, film noir, witty dialogue, great characters, beautifully integrated FMV, and a deep, engaging story - but it will also enhance the experience of the former games with stunning new graphics, a sleek new interface, and other updates.

The high-profile legal battle over royalties owed to former Infinity Ward co-founders and developers over Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 took an unusual turn today, as Activision sent a check for $42 million to the Infinity Ward Employee Group (IWEG).

Activision, upon reviewing the evidence, decided that the Infinity Ward Employee Group was not complicit in the secret talks that Infinity Ward co-founders Jason West and Vince Zampella were holding with Electronic Arts, and that a payment to the group was warranted.

Surprise! A new entry in EA's ball-kicking FIFA franchise has been announced, for release this fall. Before you sigh and roll your eyes, you jaded curmudgeon you, EA promises a "revolutionary set of game-changing innovations" for FIFA Soccer 13, which is surely not hyperbole. So what's so special and exciting? The AI has been improved, the dribbling system is said to be the best ever, a jazzed-up Player Impact Engine is now used when players jockey for position as well as collide, and career mode has "major changes" in response to fan feedback. Check the announcement for more shiny new things. Oh, and there's a "13" at the end of the name now.

Written in conjunction with author George R. R. Martin, the famed A Song of Ice and Fire universe opens further to reveal a new chapter of the story! Play as two former soldiers of Robert's Rebellion who, despite divergent paths, must reunite to face a new and deadly threat to the Seven Kingdoms. Travel a parallel course with the original series, interacting with familiar faces, including Cersei Lannister, Qhorin Halfhand, Jeor Mormont, Varys, and Chataya.
