Sir Harold Jordan, the esteemed member of the Order of Emerald Knights is ready to take up arms in Infinite Crisis, DC Entertainment, Turbine Inc. and Warner Bros’ new MOBA. Arcane Green Lantern will join the multiverse-spanning game alongside such characters as Atomic Wonder Woman, Gaslight Catwoman and Shazam.

Orphaned as a child by the the Shadow League’s unleashing of ‘The Black,’ Harold was raised by Sir Alan Scott, a legend among the Emerald Knights. Learning from his legendary tutor, Sir Harold now serves as a beacon of strength and will upon any battlefield. Arcane Green Lantern wields his magical lantern in battle, which allows him to summon constructs as well as heal allies and light up the darkness.

Arma 3, the latest military sandbox simulator from Bohemia Interactive has finally exited beta and is now available in digital and retail stores worldwide for the PC. Check out the trailer below.

In an age of killstreaks and perks, the Arma series is arguably the most authentic war game on the market right now. Announced in 2011, Arma 3 is set to improve the formula, taking place in the mid-2030s during a NATO assault on Iran-led Eastern armies in Europe.

The game is famous for its developers being placed under arrest for 128 days while photographing Greek military installations. Like most games that depict Iran unfavourably or under attack, the Iranian government has banned Arma 3 from the country. The game’s story-based campaign is due to be released as free DLC post-launch.

Disney Infinity fans have already spent countless hours building worlds in the game’s Toy Box Mode. Building, designing, tweaking and then unlocking more toys and doing it all over again has proved a huge hit for many players, and now Disney are giving you the opportunity to upload your creations online.

In the first of what will hopefully be many themed design challenges, Disney are challenging players to design their own race track. The Race Track Toy Box Challenge will be running for a week starting today. On Sep 26th, Disney will post the winners’ creations online for everyone in the world to download. For those who don’t know, here is a simple tutorial on how to upload your race track to Disney for consideration;

  1. Create your perfect race track.
  2. Bring up the Pause Menu and select “Online/Multiplayer.”
  3. Then select “Toy Box Share” > “Disney’s Toy Boxes” > “Submit to Disney.”
  4. Follow the prompts. You’ll be asked to give your Toy Box an original name and description. Choose carefully – they will be shown to everybody if your Toy Box is featured.

So get creative and remember that the possibilities are infinite!

In addition to announcing the Race Track Challenge, there are also an additional five themed Toy Boxes that players can download. This is the fourth downloadable pack of maps for the game, and all have been free of charge. Check out the first three packs here, here and here respectively. The maps available from today include;

 

8 in 1 Arena – Users can choose from eight combat arenas. Trigger an arena and then fly through the super cannon to face off with friends.

 

Classic Cruise – Gamers can cruise scenic highways in a classic Autopia Car.

 

Spooky Castle Race – Players can race on a spooky track that twists and turns through a haunted castle.

 

Lava Puzzler – As gamers move the blocks, they will begin to solve this lava-filled puzzle.

 

3 Little Houses – Players can jump, charge and knock these three little houses down.

 

That’s a lot to digest. With the inclusion of these five Toy Boxes, Disney Infinity’s free DLC count has increased to twenty maps. What do you think of the new maps?

TownCraft Receives International Release
TownCraft-09
Construction is just a click away

After a successful run in the Australian and New Zealand market, Flat Earth Games‘ TownCraft is set to receive an international release. Created by brothers Rohan Harris and Leigh Harris, in conjunction with Epiphany Games and Quest’s End Games, the crafting/city-builder hybrid reached number two within weeks of launching.

Leigh Harris (Lead Designer) said:

“People seem to really like the stripped back and ‘pure’ nature of the game. We created a game which would allow the player to sink into it without distraction, and the response has been great!”

Rohan Harris (Lead Programmer) also stated:

“The reception here in Australia was huge. I can’t say I’d ever considered that I might be seeing our first videogame in the Top Ten Charts on the App Store. It still kind of blows me away!”

TownCraft is available on the App Store for iPad 2 and iPad Mini, with an iPhone version in the works. For more information, visit the official site and Facebook page. Check out Leigh Harris’ Let’s Play below and see how one of the game’s creators begins their TownCraft journey. Let’s get TownCrafting!
