tactical-intervention-steam-01 — Drive, Smithers, drive!

The hotly anticipated multiplayer FPS title Tactical Intervention by Counter Strike co-creator, Minh “Gooseman” Le, will be free to play worldwide this August on Steam for PC thanks to publisher 1337 Games.

Tactical Intervention was previously released only in North America in March, but the servers have since come down on June 10 due to a lack of players and various other issues. The fact the game blocked IP addresses from outside the US and Canada may or may not have contributed to its swift but temporary demise.

TACTICAL-INTERVENTION-Screenshot-1 — **Hey is that $100 bill on the ground?**

Those few who managed to play it, and those who haven’t, fear not! The game is being resurrected on Steam where it will be hopefully noticed this time and released as a stable game. Headed by a former Valve employee of seven years, Tactical Intervention is a team-based tactical shooter inspired by the classics of the genre such as Counter Strike and created by the team at Fix Korea.

Check out our recent interview with the Gooseman himself for some nifty insight on the game and its long journey to release.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII pre-orderers net Cloud’s costume and Buster Sword

There has always been a number of people who would say that Lightning is the new Cloud in Square Enix‘s eyes and it seems that the company has finally decided they might as well take advantage of this. Today the company announced that anyone who pre-orders Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII in North America will be able to get a Cloud Strife costume which includes a Buster Sword.

Square Enix has also said that equipping the Cloud costume will give players not only some of Cloud’s abilities but also his battle winning pose and fanfare music. Currently Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is set to be released on February 11, 2014 so it’ll be quite some time before at least Cloud’s outfit and weapon appear in an HD game.

Puzzle Tangram Style Headed to the 3DS eShop

Not to be confused with the terrible pop culture song from 2012, Tangram Style is the first 3DS title from mobile developer Moving Player, and a sharp little puzzler that is set to bring some spunk to the genre on the platform.

This little romp features 600 puzzles and 4 games modes for players to get a hold of, and will available on the eShop at a later date. In my opinion, this title seems to bring some color and life to the shape puzzles included, with bonus objectives that are sure to add some re-playability. Check out the first set of screenshots and trailer down below, and once Tangram Style gets some more info, we will be sure to share.

Divines of the East introduces Servant System

NGames has announced that there will be a Servant System for Divines of the East (DotE), the new free-to-play, side-scrolling RPG 2D browser game for PC, currently in open beta on Game321.com.

DotE allows players to choose and customise one type of Servant to their own gameplay style from the six options; Beast, Spirit Beast, Half-demon, Ghost, Rare Beast and Mythical Beast, as shown in the gallery below. The Servants are best served to conquer the Orient when players:

Find Unseals to unlock new abilities to transform and possess Spirits to strengthen their core attributes
Practice with them, either via free practice, quintupling practice or instant clear to gain EXP
Carefully explore the ancient world to collect enough rare materials to redeem stronger SSS Servants
Obtain SSS Servant materials using the Sennong Golden Egg

If adventurers decide their team isn’t quite working, a Servant’s Talent and type can be reset by using the Transform function on a Spirit, as well as players can unlock sealed Servant types by purchasing the necessary items to use them.

For more information, you can check out the game’s official website here, to register now for a chance to join the Divines of the East beta test.
