02/14/2014 - Heroes of the Obelisks Big Update Now LIVEHero of the Obelisks’ Biggest Update is Now Live!
To download and play HOTO for free, visit http://hoto.gbegames.comHOTO’s Dungeon Master Update showcases the expansion of
Altea (the continent to which players reside) where 5 new level 50 dungeons are revealed: Auritalt Mine, Forest of Lost Souls,
Sahardion Desert, Underwater Garden and Lifeless Sanctuary, in addition to 3 new Hardcore dungeons (level 50, level 20 and
level 10 respectively) for those who seek greater challenges! On top of this, a new Open Field known as Leinjawe Forest has
been included for level 20-30 adventurers brave enough to enter (Open Fields are high risk, high reward zones where monsters
hit hard but drop highly-prized items)! A new exclusive zone within Trinzel (the main town in Altea) has also been added.
The castle known as Lauren Fortress will be accessible to Trinzel’s ruling guild members, who will now be able to enter
the Hall of Champions to which they’ll be able to challenge a powerful wizard. Defeating him and his minions will unlock
a vast wealth of treasures!
The much anticipated update also brings a major revision to the current classes’
skills. Alterations were made to better balance each class’s role which includes removal of some old skills and additions
of new ones. Hero leveled characters (level 50+) will also be able to unlock one extra new skill at each level. Take the opportunity
to test out these skill changes in the newly added Colosseum; a special area used for GM events and PVP matches.
Lastly, new and old players will now appreciate that Trinzel has received a facelift. The introduction of Open Field portals,
main dungeon entrance, and class NPC relocations to the center of town will make travelling a lot easier and quicker! In addition
to the town’s improvements, quest tracking and leveling has been simplified for beginners. Quests now have directional
arrows to assist players throughout the storyline and the experience required to level has been lowered!

02/13/2014 - GTA Online Valentine’s Day Massacre Special Is Now AvailableGTA Online Valentine’s Day Massacre Special Is Now Available
Valentine’s Day in Los Santos is almost here, and the Valentine's
Day Massacre Special update for GTA Online is now available. This includes a variety of fun Valentine's themed extras
for Story Mode and GTA Online like the Gusenberg Sweeper machine gun, the new Albany Roosevelt
armored limousine (which allows 2 players to ride outside the vehicle) and a host of new attire options like double breasted
suits, flapper dresses, sexy undergarments, novelty t-shirts, hats, masks and more. These items are all available to purchase
in GTA Online right now until the end of February - and once acquired they're yours to keep in your inventory for good.
NEW JOBS
This update also has 10 new Jobs across a variety of modes. Here are details on just
a few:
- "Shotgun Wedding"
(Team Deathmatch): The title says it all. Small-scale Deathmatch around the church in Paleto Bay that’s locked
to shotguns. It’ll be a lot less bloody than divorce.
- "Property Values" (Deathmatch): Forget about love, nothing’s going to break your
heart like the price of real estate. Free for all Deathmatch on an unaffordable cul-de-sac near Mirror Park. Look out for
the sniper on the grassy knoll.
- "Creek"
(Parachuting): Nothing says ‘I’m in love’ like throwing yourself out of a chopper with up to seven
other idiots. A steep dive, almost skirting the side of the Raton Canyon, gliding into Cassidy Creek.
- "Vinewood Tours" (Race): Who needs love when you’ve
got booze in your belly and stars in your eyes? Lap race for cars and bikes taking in all the tourist sights of Vinewood and
Rockford Hills.
- "Motorboating"
(Sea Race): A good motorboating is all anyone wants for Valentine’s Day. Take your love for a trip around buoys
and over jumps to the North of Mount Gordo.
- "Heart
Breaker" (Bike Race): Make your feelings known by carving a love heart into the Grand Senora Desert. Hills and
jumps in this mainly off-road lap race for bikes on a heart-shaped track.
VALENTINE'S MASSACRE SOCIAL CLUB EVENT WEEKEND
To help celebrate, we'll be hosting a special
Valentine's Massacre Social Club Event Weekend that will include special in-game RP bonuses, Crate Drops, a live stream broadcast
on Friday afternoon and much more. Stay tuned for more details later today.
ADDITIONAL UPDATES TO GTA ONLINE
Today's automatic title update includes the triumphant return of the Rat Loader pickup truck to GTA Online. This vehicle
and all its mods are available for free until the next title update, so anyone who might have lost one from their garage previously
can now re-create it at no cost. Just grab it from the southernsanandreassuperautos.com in-game website and modify it at any
Los Santos Customs location.
The Rat Loader returns to GTA Online. Snapmatic photo taken by jBhIpS.
This title update also enables solo players in Races to earn
GTA$, plus provides fixes for numerous issues, including incorrect time displays for some players in the Bad Sport pool, issues
with the Cornrows haircut and situations where characters would become bald after using a mask. For a complete list of fixes
in this update, please check out the article on our support site.
To get today's
update, just power up your online-connected PS3 or Xbox 360 and load up GTAV, and you'll be prompted to download the automatic
update (Xbox 360 players will also be required to download an additional compatibility pack). From there, head to the in-game
store from the pause menu to access and download the Valentine’s Day Massacre Special.

02/12/2014 - Extrasolar Launches February 18thExtrasolar Launches Feb. 18
Extrasolar puts you at the heart
of a sci-fi thriller as you explore an alien planet one unique, beautiful photo at a time. After four years in development,
this groundbreaking interactive experience will open its doors to the world on February 18, 2014.
On its surface,
Extrasolar looks like a legitimate scientific expedition. When you apply, you’re promised a chance to control one of
the many rovers that the private space agency XRI has put down on the surface of an alien world. But before long, the story
back on Earth becomes just as compelling as the startling discoveries on the planet as you find yourself wrapped up at the
center of a conspiracy, not sure whom to trust.
Unlike most games, Extrasolar is experienced at the pace that might
be expected if you were driving a rover on Mars for NASA. As Lazy 8 Studios founder Rob Jagnow explains, "We wanted to
create a rich experience that fits into our busy schedules. Most of our rover drivers check in for just a few minutes, a couple
times a day. It takes most players about a month to play through the first season - a satisfying story arc with no shortage
of surprises."
Players experience Extrasolar through a variety of channels - websites, video messages, email,
voicemail, gorgeous photos of an alien landscape, PDF files and more. The result is a story that's woven into the familiar
digital media of our everyday lives, blurring the line between fantasy and reality. As Phil Hornshaw at Game Front remarked,
"While lots of game developers talk seriously about immersion... Extrasolar achieves its immersion not by drawing players
into some other world, but by overlaying itself onto theirs."
Lazy 8 Studios, the small independent team behind
the project, has pioneered new technologies that create surprisingly realistic "photos" of the planet's surface.
These images are created on high-powered computers in the cloud so that Extrasolar can be played without any special hardware.
If you have a web browser - even on your phone or tablet - then you can have the experience of exploring the beautiful and
mysterious alien landscapes of Epsilon Prime.
The project's unique story and mechanics haven't gone unnoticed.
Extrasolar has already garnered attention at several major festivals, earning nominations for the Gamer's Voice award at South
by Southwest, awards at IndieCade, and the Nuovo Award at the Independent Game Festival (IGF). As explained by Mike Rose of
Gamasutra, "The Nuovo Award is meant to celebrate the most unique and different indie games, and in this regard, Extrasolar
is a perfect fit."
Extrasolar’s first season of content is playable in its entirety for free. Participants
can make a one-time payment for extra features, but this is completely optional.
To learn more about Extrasolar,
you can visit whatIsExtrasolar.com. Or if you're ready to dive right in, go to extrasolar.com.

Steampunk Adventure Game, on Kickstarter
Kamakura,
Japan, Feb. 10, 2014 - Iqioi Co., Ltd, a new Japanese indie game developer announced today a Kickstarter campaign
to raise funds for its steampunk adventure game, Blackmore, for PC and other platforms. Well-known game writer
and director, Jeremy Blaustein, will be working with some notable talent including voice work by David Hayter (Snake in the
Metal Gear Solid® series), character design by Satoshi Yoshioka (Snatcher®, Policenauts®)
and music by Motoaki Furukawa (Snatcher® and many others). This will mark the first time that Blaustein, Yoshioka

such as Snatcher®, Suikoden 2® and others, just seem to live on in people’s hearts and they
don’t want to see them disappear. They want games with that strong Japanese flavor like from the cartoons they grew
up on, but with stories and characters that will touch their hearts. We’re sure we can do that with our team,”
said Jeremy Blaustein, director of the project.
David Hayter, long-time actor behind the voice of Solid Snake from
the Metal Gear® series of games added. “I really wasn’t planning on participating in any more Kickstarter
game projects, but when I read Jeremy’s story and saw some of the preliminary artwork, I was very excited and wanted
to get involved. I just love steampunk.”
Blackmore is set in an alternative universe London of 1888.
The heroine of the game is a young woman named Emma Blackmore who, along with Descartes, her robot companion, must use their
wits and gadgets to solve the Whitechapel murders before time runs out.
