Gas Station – Rush Hour! Releases for Mobile Devices

gasstation_screenshot_ipad02

Microids has recently released their new casual time-management title Gas Station – Rush Hour! and it looks like players will definitely be on their toes for this one. Available on iPhone and iPad and Android devices, players must manage a gas station with the main goal of optimising the mass of clients that arrive during rush hour and scoring the most amount of cash possible.

Players will need to pay special attention to each client to ensure they don’t grow impatient and are left satisfied. The type of vehicles that come through the gas station indicate the behaviour of that customer, for example firemen expect to be served first while big rigs are huge consumers of gas and will be at the pump for a while. The game has two distinct modes in rush mode and history mode. Rush mode works as described above with the game being over once three clients have not been served, while history mode has you complete one of twenty four missions. As you progress through the game and earn money, you can use that to further optimise your business by purchasing new items such as additional registers or extra parking places.

Gas Station – Rush Hour! is available as a freemium title from the App Store and Google Play with PC and Mac versions coming soon. A $1.99 paid version is also available. Check out the trailer below to see the game in action.

Might & Magic: Duel of Champions Update Adds New Card Types

Ubisoft is preparing a new update for Might & Magic: Duel of Champions and in addition to some additional card types they are adding in one new feature that players have been clamoring for for a while. Where originally players needed to get the same card multiple times to use in different decks, the new update will allow cards to be used across multiple decks, just like in real life.

The new card types that are coming to Duel of Champions are buildings and melee-shooters through the Five Tower expansion, which will be adding 80 new cards. Buildings can be played on battleground positions and give buffs to players’ creatures, while the melee-shooters are a new type of creature that can attack from anyway and be used on any battleground space. Those wanting to see a little bit of what the new Might & Magic: Duel of Champions update will look like can click on the images in the gallery below to see the full-sizes screenshots and also check out the game here.

Back at the end of August, Square Enix released the first of what is to be three developer diary videos going into the the making of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. This new video delves into the character creations of Tetsuya Nomura , particularly of course Lightning herself.

But, the behind the scenes video isn’t just about the character and their creations, but goes much deeper looking at every aspect of it and hearing from people all over Square Enix from those in production, the art direction, and even lighting. It’s pretty impressive just how many people are inspired just by Testsuya Nomura’s work.

Those wanting the inside scoop on this can check out “Inside The Square #2” which is embedded below and be on the look out for when they release part 3. Hopefully, that will be some at least a little before Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII releases to Xbox 360 and PS3 in February 2014.

MIGHT & MAGIC® DUEL OF CHAMPIONS ANNOUCES THAT PLAYERS WILL BE ABLE TO ADD CARDS IN MULTIPLE DECKS 

Update reveals 80 new cards and introduces buildings, a brand new card type 

London, UK – December 3, 2013 – Today, Ubisoft® announced that players of Might & Magic® Duel of Champions will now be able to use any card they own in every deck they create. The update also brings a new Five Tower expansion, introducing 80 new cards and two new cards types – adding powerful new game mechanics and strategies with Buildings and Melee-Shooters.

Using cards in multiple decks!

“Our community has been requesting the ability to add a card in multiple decks and we’re happy to say that with this next update coming in just two days time, this will now be possible. As with physical card games, where players can swap their cards from one deck to another, Duel of Champions players can now use the same cards in every deck they create. We expect this feature to be helpful in the use of Epic and neutral cards and it will reduce the amount of cards players have to keep in their collection,” said Samuel Jobin, live producer of the game. “We are always listening to our community and will continue to do our best to keep bringing exciting updates to Duel of Champions!”

The feature is part of the deck builder which all players will have access to when creating their decks. With their extra cards, players can now decide to either keep them in their card collection or to burn them in the Infernal Pit, where they will receive specific cards and gold in exchange.

Introducing new cards and new gameplay: Buildings

Five Towers also introduces the new concept of Buildings. As positioning is a key strategy in the game, buildings can be now deployed on any battleground position a player controls, and used on creatures to give them new buffs and abilities. Those cards can be collected and added to players’ decks just as they would with creatures, spells, and fortunes.

Also expanding gameplay is another new creature type, the melee-shooter.  Deployable on any battleground space, they can attack from anywhere but are vulnerable to counterattacks like flyer and melee creatures.

For more information on the Five Tower expansion, have a look at the official Might & Magic Duel of Champions® Twitch page on Wednesday, December 4th at 6pm CET.

InnoGames Invites Fans to Tribal Wars 2 Alpha Arena Competition

Two players get a sneak peak of upcoming strategy game in InnoGames office

Hamburg, December 3, 2013. Two weeks after the announcement of new title Tribal Wars 2, InnoGames invites two players to join an exclusive preview of the game: the Alpha Arena competition. The speed round battle will take place on December 19 at InnoGames, including more than 50 community managers and the entire Tribal Wars development team. InnoGames sums up how to win one of the two slots on the Tribal Wars 2 facebook page.

The alpha arena competition will start at 9:00am (UTC +1) and end at 5:00pm the same day. The team organized the event to test the game balance of Tribal Wars 2 and gather feedback from experienced players. As the speed will be x500 faster than regular game speed, players will reach late game status during the competition. Feedback arising from the battle will be implemented into further development of the game. InnoGames will provide devices for players, so no hardware is needed.

In Tribal Wars 2, players find themselves as leader of a small village in the midst of a medieval world. Tasked with growing and expanding their empire within a war-torn landscape, they have to fight in order to survive. The MMO’s focus is real-time strategic battles with and against other players. Army size is not all that matters – political alliances and military pacts are crucial for success. Team play is a key aspect of the game. Tribal Wars 2 will be released as cross-platform game for Android, iOS and all browsers. Therefore, players can set up one account for all platforms and play from whichever combination of devices they choose.

The original Tribal Wars is one of the most successful browser games ever. Launching in 2003, it now boasts more than 50 million registered players. With more than 110 million registered players, InnoGames is one of the world’s leading developers and providers of online games. Next to Tribal Wars, the Hamburg-based company has scored major successes with games such as Forge of Empires and Grepolis.
