01/23/2014 - 10 Rockstar Verified GTA Online Jobs10 New Rockstar Verified
GTA Online Jobs, Including the #CreatorWeekend Selections
Recently, we challenged the GTA Online community to show us their best Races and Deathmatches during our Social Club #CreatorWeekend for a chance at GTA$1M and an exclusive GTA Online license plate. Below
please find the Creator Weekend selections, along with five more community-created Jobs that will join the ranks of Rockstar
Verified content as part of our continued evolution of GTA Online. Once Jobs are Rockstar Verified, they become available
during Freemode sessions for players across both Xbox 360 and PS3.
ROCKSTAR VERIFIED
Twists and Twirls
A complex but beautifully constructed point-to-point through
some of Blaine County's iconic countryside. Follow the winding roads of Vinewood Hills as you race from Galileo Observatory
through to Tongva Valley. Car selection from the Sports class is key here - steer clear of the Comet's twitchy back end or
risk a fishtail festival. Tight turns and unforgiving cliff edges require deft use of the brake pedal, but don't be afraid
to go for broke when the opportunity arises.
Stars In Your Eyes
As the description so eloquently explains, this is "a tribute
to the legendary track 'Stars in Your Eyes' in GTA IV". Pick the fastest car in the garage for the long straightaways
on one of the busiest highways in Los Santos. Although Creator blueeyedbarbi advises that "you might want to turn traffic off if your reactions
aren't quick enough", we think it's better to leave them on for a hair-raising drive into oncoming traffic that could
leave the asphalt stained red.
Monaco Grand Prix GTA ed.
Another recreation of a famous real-world track, the Monaco Grand
Prix GTA ed. contains all the features of Southern Europe's iconic Grand Prix race track: empty urban streets, a seafront
setting, high end cars, a tricky hairpin, and two unforgiving chicanes that will slingshot you into the race lead, or through
your own windshield.
Casal Dos Ferros Race
A track for the Online racing purist. No novelty factors, no
sneaky tricks, no unwelcome distractions - this is raw and unadulterated driving where timing is everything and winning is
decided on milliseconds and inches. Use slipstreams to push yourself into the lead and don't look back, particularly as you
hurtle towards the water on the final straight down Del Perro Pier... and definitely don't blink.
Classy Construction
Amongst the mansions of Vinewood Hills, a new build is going
up bringing downtown construction workers into uptown 'hoods. Tensions arise between these two tribes, and isolated firefights
break out across the elevated terrain. High walls and high end cars allow for a variety of maneuvers in this tricky Deathmatch.
We recommend taking the sniper rifle to the top of the mansion turrets or seek out the minigun and own the streets.
ROCKSTAR VERIFIED #CREATORWEEKEND SELECTIONS
4 Way Madness
This tight Downtown track is spread over four blocks and built
for aerial mayhem. 4 Way Madness forces players to jump cross each others paths through a central airborne death zone, flying
through mid-air in four different directions. Creator gangsterpdp has placed gas tanks beneath the airspace to ensure that any collision
results in instant death. Be sure to max out the starting grid, and then wait until the pack thins out for the carnage to
begin. So deliciously cruel and marvelously cunning we couldn't help but select gangsterpdp for the GTA$1M as well as an exclusive
CRE8R license plate.
Crastenburg Drifting Race
French-Canadian Creator WoriedNiko recommends turning the rain on to get the full experience from this
tight, twisting race constructed across several parking lots near Los Santos International. Barrels and containers have been
carefully positioned to create a series of on-a-dime turns and unforgiving chicanes best navigated via finessed tapping of
the handbrake to throw out the back end of your ride into a controlled, smooth drift. For designing a race that brilliantly
focuses on a specific racing technique, WoriedNiko gets the TOP CRE8R license plate and GTA$1M. Trés bien!
Laguna Seca Remake
Previously featured on the Rockstar Newswire as a Job that caught our eye, we gave GTAVDriver a Rockstar Verified
stamp of approval this week so that players on both platforms can enjoy this painstakingly detailed recreation of Southern
California's famous Laguna Seca raceway. Bookmark it now for long straights and tight 270 degree turns that will challenge
all your skills as a driver. The aptly named GTAVDriver also lands himself a NO1CRE8R License Plate and GTA$1M to spend on
high end cars to throw around the track.
Paradise Ally
unseenchaos26, recipient of a THECRE8R license plate, warns that the law of the urban
jungle reigns supreme in his well-crafted Deathmatch amongst the warehouses high-walled street alley littered with
heavy weapons, heavy armor and multiple entry points force you to keep moving, so campers be warned! The audacious play
is to snag an ATV from the perimeter, and charge through the burnt out cars and buses into the central corridor to try
and spring a surprise attack. When the coast is clear climb the ladder to the top of the warehouse overlooking the old
motel and pick off your respawned enemies from above.
Terry's Hangout
The only #CreatorWeekend selection set outside of Los Santos,
eponymous creator terrynut6969 scoured the Blaine County landscape to find this cluster of buildings
set around a small airport hangar. terrynut6969 has earned his I CRE8 license plate by cleverly splitting the
space using wrecked buses that not only fit the derelict environment but create dynamic pathways and cover areas that set
up brutal head-to-head showdowns. The added cover allows for surprise attacks using assault shotguns spread throughout the
map, while isolated king-of-the-hill skirmishes will decide who owns the coveted positions atop the hangar and the air traffic
control tower. Best enjoyed beneath the cold blue desert moonlight.
Please note, in addition to occasionally changing
Job names due to taste, copyright or other reasons - we also from time to time will make other small edits to players' Jobs
before making them Rockstar Verified. This includes, but is not limited to modifying spawn points, improving checkpoints or
increasing/decreasing the amount of weapon picks ups for a particular Job.

01/22/2014 - Classsic Shooter Blast Em comes to PC, MAC and LinuxDidThink you can blink? Think again. Old-school shooter Blast Em! speeds
to PC, Mac and Linux. Eye drops not included.
BLAST EM! is a return to the rock-hard-and-addictive games
of the 80s. Take charge of a space ship and battle your way through endless hordes of evil alien robots terror-bent on your
destruction while you try desperately to control your automatic blink reflex. Take your eyes off the game and it's time to
press the play button again!
Already attracting a lot of attention from its beta release, BLAST EM! came to life
after a chance meeting with the journalist Will Freeman in 2013 about a completely different game. Will is a massive fan of
the shoot-em-up genre and given the chance will talk about the subject until you lose the will to live. It was after one of
these epic chats that the seed of BLAST EM! was sown and over the next two months it germinated into a fully grown game. BLAST
EM! had a small experimental release on the developers own website but was then approached by the publisher Mastertronic who
really wanted to publish the game.
Taking its cues from an old browser-based shooter of the same name from Xiotex
Studios, Atkinson-Jones has crafted an intense new game that never lets up. With one life and an endless stream of unpredictable
enemies, obstacles and power-ups to navigate, the non-stop action, frenetic visuals and thumping soundtrack have already got
its early testers hooked, having been played over 11,500 times, with some of the testers playing it over 700 times each, some
playing it 400 times in just two days.
The game is also intended to help students and aspiring indies learn about
development. In addition to releasing the game itself, Xiotex Studios is also making the source code for the project available
to buy. Support for the next generation of indies doesn't end there though - he's also sharing updated sales and marketing
data daily in order to lift the veil on the challenge of discoverability for indie games developers.
Blast Em!
Was designed and developed by Byron Atkinson-Jones, with art from Dugan Jackson and music from Gavin Harrison.
More information about the game can be found at www.BlastEm-game.com and about the developer at www.xiotex-studios.com. Follow on Twitter at @xiotex.
Blast Em! will be available at: http://store.steampowered.com/app/257630/$9.99 for the game but with 25% off in the first week.
$39
for the source code to the game but with 50% off in the first week.

01/21/2014 - Heroes of Stalingrad gets a Release DateLOCK’N LOAD HEROES OF STALINGRAD GETS A RELEASE DATE
Arlington, VT, 21st
January, 2014 - It’s been a long wait, but it’s almost over. The anticipation started to build before
Christmas when the game appeared to be almost complete. Years in development, Mark H. Walker’s Lock’n Load Heroes
of Stalingrad is now set to release on February 12th.
The game is the most accurate possible digital
representation of Lock’n Load’s engaging and immersive playability, while adding features that would be too fiddly
or complicated for a board game.
Two story-driven branching campaigns will take players through a series of tactically
challenging missions; first by deciding who to take into battle by carefully spending resources, and then by engaging on the
battlefield.
The game is of course designed by Mark H. Walker, and programmed by elements of the team responsible
for bringing you Panzer General Online. All the graphics are from some of the best board games artist around. David Julien,
Marc Schwanebeck, and Nicolas Eskubi have combined to make soldiers, tanks, and maps that pull you into the conflict and won’t
let go.
Check out the latest screenshots of the game and, if you want to know more about the game, visit the product page.
