The ambitious mmorpg TERA will receive an Europe release in 2011, as the publisher Frogster secured the publishing rights to the game.
TERA – An online game world to set new standards in the genre
An impressive and highly-detailed virtual world with triple-A quality claim awaits thousands of players with TERA. Entirely developed in Unreal Engine 3, TERA transcends current representatives of the genre with breathtaking 3D graphical environments, thrilling animations and spectacular effects. The seamless architecture of the massive fantasy world including open dungeons guarantees a smooth and fluent game experience without any interruptions by loading times.
Dark powers are looming over the massive realms of TERA. It is only when players act together that they can protect their fragile home from an ultimate sinister threat. With six races and eight character classes, TERA offers an abundance of possibilities for character creation and development. The dynamic real-time combat system of TERA gets players engaged in battles considerably more actively than all conventional MMORPGs available on the market. By letting players actively dodge and block attacks, the impressive online role-playing world departs from the genre’s typical combat systems based on random statistics. Using the mouse and keyboard or a game controller, players of TERA have far more control of their character’s movements. Thanks to sensitive collision detection players actively keep opponents at bay using swords and shields for example. TERA is set to be released in 2011 based on a subscription model.
“TERA will set completely new standards”, commented Andreas Weidenhaupt, CEO of Frogster Online Gaming, upon the signing of the contract. “The licensing of this revolutionary online game world is one of the largest deals and milestones in Frogster’s corporate history”, agrees Christoph Gerlinger, CEO of the holding company Frogster Interactive Pictures AG.
Gang Seok Kim, the CEO Bluehole Studio Inc., added: “We are very glad that TERA is now making its official debut in Europe, as we firmly believe it is a critical region in the gaming industry. Bluehole sought out a partnership with Frogster because of their successful publishing ventures in Europe. Our biggest desire is to see European gamers enjoy and have fun with TERA, and we will make our best effort to that end.”
Players can already register for a newsletter on a temporary teaser site, where they also find a first trailer: www.tera-europe.com.
TERA will be released in 2011 in German, English and French versions, customized for the European market. You can be more familiar with the game by checking a trailer below.

I never really had a chance to try the first Puzzle quest game. It was out there, but with the huge variety of the genre on the market, I just put the series off as a typical puzzle game and went on. I HATE myself now for rejecting what has now been one of the most deep and rewarding puzzlers I have came across.
Story
You start out in Puzzle Quest 2 choosing one of the 8 characters with 4 classes, War Mage, Inquisitor, Barbarian or Assassin. The story is what truly makes this game different from other puzzle games, as you must perform main and side-quests for the inhabitants of the small village of Verloren. The evil demon Gorgon and his minions have wrecked chaos through the land and like any hero it is now your job to help in any way possible to bring peace once again.
Gameplay I won’t lie, when I started playing this, I felt like I was going from place to place just to play a round of Bejeweled with each of the enemies. I was completely blown away just a few minutes later with how everything worked and tied together so nicely. Puzzle Quest can be compared to a point and click RPG, where you direct your hero, he or she will go.
Battling is the most addictive part of the gameplay. When you encounter an enemy, you will see a versus screen followed by your puzzle screen. Just like Bejeweled, you must swap and set up your jewels to fall and make combos and earn points. What sets this game apart is that every time you score, you earn Mana for your magic and attacks depending on the color or piece you combo on.
Each character including yourself has an HP bar and the object is to create your best combos to take out your foe. You have to be on your toes at all times, as the player and the enemy take turns, so one wrong move could lead to the enemy getting a devastating combo and taking you out. The more pieces you take out, the more mana you receive which you can build up to unleash your magic or attacks which can greatly change the pace of battle by changing up the colors out in the field to your advantage, hitting the opponent and hurting their HP gauge or using a status effect to improve your stats or hurt the foes. As your progress through the game, you will encounter more challenging opponents, and sometimes each puzzle all comes down to pure luck. The good thing is you are not set back if you lose, you can pick up right where you left to restart the battle or go better prepare. That leads me to the next topic of gameplay, which is character customization.
Your hero can level up just like in most RPGs. With shops placed all over the land, it is simple to use the spoils from your journey to trade for more upgrades and weapons that will protect you from enemy attacks and magic. This is actually quite a complex and easy to use feature that adds even more depth to the gameplay and will help you grow stronger for what lies ahead later in the game. Every part of the battle system includes the core match-3 gem matching system, that includes opening certain doors and chests in extra mini-games. The player’s experience as a whole will be rich and rewarding for each battle you win, even if it does come down to the luck of the draw.
Sound & Graphics
The sound in Puzzle Quest 2 seemed sharp and pleasant throughout the whole time I played. In some puzzle games, the music can either annoy you or be slightly noticeable. The music theme is your basic fantasy/medieval soundtrack which is a good thing, as it gives you the feel that you’re not just playing a puzzle game, but also a unique RPG. Sound effects are on tune with attacks and magic used as well as the small cut scenes that progress the story.
As far as graphics go, each character has their own sprite which has a fitting look for the story. The main character models are not forgettable and I could easily say I will associate them from this title. Why I mention this is due to the fact that many puzzle/rpg titles out there don’t really spend much time on art and instead give you a generic character to play as, but luckily Puzzle Quest 2 is not one of those titles. The enemies are a bit generic, such as goblins and rats, but the core of the game-play is on the puzzles, not the enemies so even picky players shouldn’t mind. I didn’t notice any hiccups when it came to the core game or the outside world. Character’s animations are a bit stiff though as you walk to your next target.
Overview
Puzzle Quest 2 is a gem for your arcade collection on your 360. With game-play that is addictive and fun to play, I found myself going back and losing hours just challenging enemies and customizing my character. I would say there is a very high replay value even if puzzle games are not your thing due to the complex upgrade system and RPG elements to keep you wanting to progress until the end. There is also a multi-player option as well to add to that with tournament mode, putting players in a head to head battle as they choose 4 monsters each to battle with until the last man is standing . There are some generic enemies and you might lose quite a bit just due to luck. Nevertheless, the mixture of the Bejeweled-like playing field and RPG elements truly come together perfectly creating the best thing since peanut-butter and jelly.
Atari and Eden Games’ has released another video for Test Drive Unlimited 2. This video shows off more of the vast open world in which you can explore. Is anyone actually going to be racing? I’d be to distracted with all the areas to explore.
The sequel, due out in September, is looking to truly out do its predecessor.
Square Enix and IO Interactive announced today that it will now release one week earlier in both Europe and North America.
The game was originally scheduled for August 24th in North america and August 27th in Europe. Kane and Lynch 2 will now release one week earlier on August 17th in North America and August 20th in Europe.
Square has also announced the pre-order bonuses for those that pre-order. Pre-orders will receive the exclusive Radio Tower multiplayer map, 7 new multiplayer weapons and 8 Chinese costume masks for your character. The bonus will be “available at all good retailers.”
Now lets rap it all up with the latest multiplayer trailer titled, ‘Focus On The Job.’ Enjoy.
Before Sony grabbed Joe Danger for PSN, Hello Games revealed to the Develop Conference crowd today some of the reasons that the game was denied publication by other publishers
Sean Murray, a programmer at Hello Games, wouldn’t name any names in the conference but was happy to give out some quotes from publishers for why they wouldn’t publish the game.
The 7 quotes the programmer gave were:
“Name me one popular game with motorbikes?”
“Collecting giant coins feels unrealistic to me”
“I can see this working as a Facebook app”
“We want games that are less about fun right now”
“We love the theme, but with a different game”
“We believe the iPhone will be largely unsupported”
“Can Joe be a monkey? We like Monkeys”
It is said when a publisher says they they want a game that is less about fun. Even though the monkey idea sounds really good, everyone loves monkeys!

Deep Silver cracks the point and click whip this summer with Lost Horizon!
Following the success of The Secret Files series software publisher Deep Silver returns to the point and click genre this summer with their new title, Lost Horizon, due for PC release next month.
Developed by Animation Arts, Lost Horizon looks set to please point and click and adventure fans with a compelling story, bags of action and snappy dialogue. Players have two characters at their disposal, the unusually named Fenton Paddock – a former British soldier and the mysterious Kim. As the dynamic duo you travel around the world visiting locations as varied as Hong Kong, America and India meeting all manner of interesting characters along the way.
You start your adventure in 1936 as Fenton, an ex soldier who now uses his military training as a smuggler for hire. Having developed quite the reputation for finding objects that were meant never to be found, Fenton is asked to help locate a missing military expedition lost somewhere in deepest Tibet. Along the way Fenton crosses paths with an elite squad of Nazis who are tracking down very powerful and dangerous occult weapons in an early attempt at world domination and it’s down to you as Fenton to find the expedition and stop the Nazis before they discover the greatest treasure of all, the Mysterious city of Shambala!
Graphically the game looks very impressive and with intricate hand drawn backgrounds and colourful 3D characters Lost horizon looks set to be an action-packed adventure in the vein of the Indiana Jones movies.
Only time and a review will tell if Lost Horizon will rise to the challenge or sink into obscurity but at this point my money’s on the former and with the price point a very reasonable $19.99 it may be hard to resist when it’s released as a digital download this coming August.
