Woken from a hypersleep, you find yourself alone on a drifting star cruiser, light years from home. The crew has disappeared, leaving behind nothing but a few scattered records and a strange artifact that seems to hold the key to an alien civilisation. As you search the empty ship, you’ll begin to piece together the mystery of the missing crew, and perhaps a way to unlock the artifact itself.

The Artifact – Steam PC

Played out in stunning 3D environments, The Artifact is a sci-fi themed spin on the classic escape the room game. Players explore different locations, using 22nd century technology to crack codes and solving increasingly head scratching puzzles that will help decipher the mystery of the alien device, and perhaps what lies beyond…

Key Features

  • Beautiful 3D environments – explore the decks of your star cruiser, breaking open air hatches and exploring different areas…
  • Head-scratching puzzles – use logic and experimentation to figure out how to break into the alien artifact…
  • Immersive story – explore the ship for notes and documents that reveal the mystery of the missing crew. And why you’ve been left behind…

The fiercest fighters who rise through the TEKKEN World Tour will face-off at the TEKKEN World Finals taking place in North America in November this year.

REDspace Readies VR Sports-Shooter Experience, Gunball

REDspace Readies VR Sports-Shooter Experience, Gunball 

Serve with your Sidearm in an All-New Competitive Experience coming to HTC Vive on June 28th 

Halifax, Canada (June 2, 2017) — REDspace Games announce today that their upcoming VR sports meets shooter hybrid experience Gunball will be available for HTC VIVE starting on June 28. Fans who pre-order Gunball starting next week will receive the game for $9.75, a 35% discount from the MSRP of $14.99.

What the heck is Gunball? 

Gunball is a fictional arena sport where players are trying out for the “Gunball League.” It’s meant to be immersive, absurd and slightly over the top action. The approach is simple and fun – similar to tennis, players serve up balls but instead of striking them with rackets, they shoot the balls with guns, rocketing them high into the air. Using this unique yet intuitive mechanic, competitors are placed in the center of 3D arenas surrounded by screaming fans where they participate in timed rounds with the main objective of shooting balls into goal rings for points, accumulating the highest score possible before time expires. Depending on which moves work best, players can pick up balls, dribble balls by bouncing them off the ground and catching them for a second before throwing balls in the air to be shot. 

Gunball is an easy game to pick up and play, making it the perfect first-time experience for players new to VR. However even seasoned VR pros will find Gunball to be deep and intense, allowing players to immerse themselves in the experience and pull off insane trick shots on the way to racking up the highest scores in the world! Fans of competitive sports will find themselves vying for the best scores, to earn the title of best Gunball player.

The game features two themed environments – an audience packed sports stadium and an explosive rainbow volcano – each with five different goal ring layouts featuring varying obstacles per environment. Compete against friends and other Gunballers around the world to achieve top ranks on the Steam leaderboards!

“With Gunball we wanted to provide players with a fun, engrossing experience that anyone could instantly understand and be drawn to,” says Jeremy McCurdy, Gunball Game Designer

and Games Technical Lead at REDspace. “Built around a comfortable experience but with a deep level of skill underneath it, we feel this game is perfect for whether you want a quick diversion for a few games or if you want to play for hours solo or with friends.”

Developed and self-published by REDspace, Gunball will be available via Steam starting on June 28, 2017.

Dungeon of Corruption

There was an island continent called Valbella.

It was a land composed of dozens of kingdoms and small, independent city-states, formed from a turbulent history beginning with the Age of the Gods. After much time passed, the many gods gods formed into just two, the God of Light and God of Darkness, worshipped by the people of Valbella. As they watched their worshippers, their apostles, war amongst each other in a battle of Light against Darkness, they spoke to one another.

“Who is blessed with apostles of greater faith?”

The Gods then, on a whim, sent their respective Archangels to the two largest kingdoms which worshipped them with a message.

“Obtain the sacred treasure lost within the greatest ancient temple of your lands.”

However, the greatest ancient temple within Valbell was placed upon the borders of the two kingdoms, which thereby prevented the kingdoms from sending their armies, lest the sacred treasure be lost to war. In the place of armies, the two kingdoms decided instead to send the greatest knight of their lands.

The Apostle of Light – Eliska, the Evangelical Maiden Knight.

The Apostle of Darkness –  Abyss Knight of Anguish, Griselda.

The Archangels (you, the player) will act as lords of the ancient temple, now known as the Dungeon of Trials, and will test the two Apostles with traps and monsters as they search for the sacred treasure within!

Xbox Game Pass Now Available with 100+ Games

Earlier this year, we announced Xbox Game Pass, a new digital gaming subscription service that gives you unlimited access to over 100 Xbox One and Backward Compatible Xbox 360 games for AU$10.95 per month.

With one low monthly price for unlimited access to tons of games, along with exclusive discounts, Xbox Game Pass is a tremendous opportunity to better meet the needs of all gamers.

Secret World Legend’s Revamped Combat System Detailed

Funcom revealed some new information about Secret World Legend’s combat system for those of us who do not have access to the closed beta. The combat system was one of the main mechanics that received an overhaul in The Secret World remake, with the intent to create a more modern action RPG experience.

The traditional tab target method has been replaced with a more fluid reticule based targeting system, allowing players to play the game like a third person shooter. Additionally, all nine classes of weapons have been revamped so each have their own unique style of play. For example, the shotgun now uses six different types of ammunition that each have different effects when fired. Check out the new trailer to get a full rundown on the new additions to the game’s combat system.

Secret World Legends is set to launch via Funcom’s website on June 26 and via Steam on July 31st. The game features over 100 hours of content from The Secret World that has been remastered with modern visuals, a brand new skill system, and a modern, action-based combat system.
