Indie developer Rain Games announced announced today that their newest game, Teslagrad, will be making its way to the PlayStation 3.
Teslagrad is a sidescrolling puzzle platformer where magnetism and electromagnetic powers are the key to solving the world’s challenges. Players will have to work through the long abandoned Tesla Tower, where they’ll gain new abilities as they explore the non-linear world. The game features more than 100 gorgeous hand-drawn environments, setting the game in an old Europe inspired by steampunk themes. Armed with ancient Teslamancer technology, you’ll unravel a plot filled with ancient conspiracy, despotic kings, and more.
Features for the game include:
Complex Puzzles – Put your sense of logic to the test and cleverly manipulate the world around you using electricity and magnetism, the lifeblood of the game. Puzzles will range from “pff, that wasn’t so bad” to keyboard-smashing, controller-chewing frustration.
Explore – Make your way through rich 2D hand-drawn surroundings as you journey into — and beyond— Tesla Tower, as you discover and use amazing new items.
Visual Storytelling – Tired of all those words in your video games? Have no fear, Teslagrad features not a single snippet of text or squeak of dialogue. Everything is purely visual, and the entire story is told through what you see (and sometimes what you don’t see).
Steampunk powered – Discover a dystopic and mind-blowing rainy-and-brainy setting, presenting a steampunk vision of an old Europe-inspired new world.
Old-school boss fights – Use your skills and wits to overcome the 5 incredible final bosses eager to demagnetize you.
No disruptions – That means no loading screens, no GUI, no cutscenes. Just the game and you.
Mesmerizing soundtrack – Awesome mix of classical orchestra, with a touch of Russian inspiration and a myriad of metal bit and electrical stuff.

The result was… Educational. The Lions crushed the Barbarians with a punitive 21-0. So if this simulation is anything to go by, expect the Lions to obliterate the opposition during tomorrow’s match. Rugby Challenge 2: The Lions Tour Edition features the official licensed British & Irish Lions 2013 Tour of Australia campaign, the first match of which was used to make the prediction.

The third installment of the action–adventure franchise The Expendables, that follows the exploits of Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas, and their associates, is rumored to have a crazy amount of action movie stars making their return or first time appearances. So far all we have are a whole bunch of rumors and speculation on who will be returning and who will be joining in on the action packed rollercoaster ride full of thrills, kills, explosions and non stop action.
Who will be the bad guy? Chan, Snipes, Cage or Jovovich?
Well, we all know that Stallone will be back as he’s co-writing the film and will be leading his team of Expendables once again, but who will be joining his team and who will be opposing them? So far the rumors are that the following four action celebrities could be 90% locked in: Jacky Chan, Wesley Snipes, Nicolas Cage and Milla Jovovich – star of the Resident Evil Series. These four celebrities are currently negotiating contracts for the their roles in the film. What we’ve also heard is that from one of these four celebrities just mentioned, we’ll have our “Bad Guy” that will lead the charge against the Expendables… Who could that be? Our money is going on Nicolas Cage.
A whole lot of other celebrities have also been rumored to make their return or first time appearances such as Jean Claude Van Damme from The Expendables 2, Steven Segal, Hulk Hogan, Mickey Rouke, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris and Arnold Schwarzenegger. But at the moment these are just rumors and there’s no cold hard concrete evidence just yet. We’ll all have to wait and see as time goes by and more information is released/leaked out to the public.
