Win – The Missing Season 1 on DVD

March 17, 2015

Entertainment One (eOne) have given us 3 copies of the first season of the stellar British mini-series, The Missing, on DVD to give away to three lucky readers!

Immediately after breaking onto BBC One in the UK in late October, 2014, and then on American television with its Starz début a month later, The Missing garnered critical acclaim for being one of the most compelling, well-crafted new dramas to surface in the last decade. It was subsequently nominated for two Golden Globes: Best Miniseries or Television Film and Best Actress – Miniseries or Television Film for co-star Frances O’Connor (starring alongside well known Irish actor James Nesbitt). Here is a synopsis for those unfamiliar with the show:

When five year-old Oliver is snatched from his family while on holiday in France, it sets off a manhunt that will last for years and years to come. The Missing takes you inside the mind of a father, desperate to find his lost son. Told through a delicate and complex narrative that reflects the fractured and frantic battle for a lost child, a lost marriage and a lost life, The Missing is a chilling, resonant and heartbreaking drama of a life consumed by hope and the conviction of love, loss and truth.

New Stretch Goal Announced for Edge of Eternity’s Kickstarter Campaign

After this weekend’s announcement featuring legendary Japanese composer Yasunori Mitsuda, it would have been be safe to assume that French indie developers Midgar Studio was out of big announcements. Instead, they announced the final stretch goal for Edge of Eternity’s Kickstarter campaign.

If the crowdfunding campaign can raise $295,000 USD before March 22, then Midgar Studio will have Dwarf Labs create the the game’s cinematics. The French animation company has won several awards for their work from Animago, SIGGRAPH, and Les Nuits Magiques.

As of publishing, Edge of Eternity’s Kickstarter campaign is just shy of $140,000 with only five days remaining in the campaign. Midgar Studio hopes to release the game for Linux, Mac, Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in December 2016.

Mordheim: City of the Damned Enters Early Access Phase 4

Mordheim: City of the Damned Enters Early Access Phase 4

Mordheim: City of the Damned has been in Early Access since last November. Rogue Factor’s turn based strategy game has been slowly moving towards a full release, with today’s major Phase 4 launch.

The biggest change in Phase 4 is the switch from Unity 4 to Unity 5, which will bring improved visual effects. Phase 4 is also adding a new procedurally generated map, two unique maps called Bridge and Library, and max-level warbands.

The game is currently 20% off on Steam during the Early Access and runs on Windows.

Mordheim: City of the Damned is set after a twin comet crashes into the city, scattering pieces of the Wyrdstone into the city’s many neighbourhoods. Four factions are now locked in mortal combat, hoping to seize the fragments and the inevitable riches that will follow.

The game mixes turn based combat with RPG elements that will allow players to develop and customize their fighters. Be careful though, as death and mutilation is a permanent condition.

Mordheim: City of the Damned is based on the tabletop combat game Mordheim. The board game served as the skirmish variant of Warhammer, Games Workshop’s long running tabletop combat franchise.

Eugen System announced a multiplayer beta will launch in the coming months, followed by the full release later in 2015. The game will launch for Windows, but no word on Linux and Mac support.

Life is Strange Episode 2 Coming Out March 24th & New Trailer

Life is Strange Episode 1 was a refreshing and enjoyable experience and now Dontnod and Square Enix are looking to keep the ball rolling by releasing Episode 2: Out of Time on March 24th. There were doubts even from the publisher that Episode 2 would meet it’s March launch window but it seems those doubts have been erased. The developer originally planned for each episode to release roughly 6 weeks after the launch of the previous episode, so this one is coming in slightly later than expected.

While Episode 1 was all about setting up the narrative Episode 2 is touted to bring some big consequences for all your past and current actions. Life is Strange Episode 2 will be available on PC, PS3, Xbox 360, PS4 and Xbox One on March 24th. The season pass will give you access to all five episodes for $29.95 AU while each episode costs $7.55 AU individually.

The music in the game was a big highlight for many players so a developer diary detailing the music creation process has been released on YouTube. You can view the embedded video below. The Spotify and YouTube playlist links have also been provided so make sure to visit them if you’re in the mood for some teen indie sounds. A new trailer was recently released to celebrate the launch of Episode 2, you can check it out below.

Cyber Gadget Reveals More Details About Their Retrofreak Retro Game System

Today, Cyber Gadget revealed more details about their Retrofreak retro gaming system. The new details have been translated here into English, along with a previously revealed detail about how HDMI works with the system.

Retrofreak can connect to a television with a HDMI cable. Games can be upscaled to output a 720p image, so compared with an analogue connection, retro games will have higher quality image and sound output.

The save data stored in the cartridge can be written to the Retrofreak machine .

Retrofreak has a feature that allows you to quicksave, so even if there is no save data on the cartridge, you can save and load wherever you like. (This is shown in the image below.)

If the battery of the cartridge has run out, and you are no longer able to save the game on the cartridge itself, you can save a state to the Retrofreak machine.

The official webpage for Retrofreak can be found here.
