Paradox Interactive has an interesting title on the horizon. Legio! It's a turn based strategy game (yay!) that features a chess like board and what looks to be combats between units. At a $9.99 price point for the download this game falls right into impulse buy territory. With the option for single player or two player the game is also interesting enough to intrigue me. Look for the game on May 21. Look for a few screen shots and a press release after the jump.

I think this is just plain old cool. Paradox Interactive recently snagged their 200,000th forum member. They gave that person, plus another randomly selected forum member each lifetime access to every Paradox game ever, past, present and future.

I've been following Hellion's development for a little while now. I'm much more interested in this game then I was in Dante's Inferno. This is shaping up to be more of an experience and less of a God of War clone. I like that.

I have and always will have a soft spot in my heart for all of Sid's Civ games. Starting with number I I have probably logged a good thousand hours on various Civ franchises and enjoyed every hour. Now there's a new Civilization on the horizon - Civ V! Yes, built on a new engine from 'the ground up' as is standard practice when creating new versions of the game. Looks pretty sharp too. Here are some facts and screen shots. Also in the works - Civ Network, a Civ based game for . . . Facebook? Woah.

Mount & Blade was a game that was first brought to my attention a few years ago when it was just a beta, looking for some love. It took me a while but I finally got around to playing it and now I'm kicking myself for not picking it up much earlier. I've had it now for just over a year and it's one of two or three games I consistently return to when I've finished with The Next Big Thing.

Looks like EA is ready for some football. They've purchased a spot during the Superbowl to highlight their newest franchise - Dante's Inferno. Over the weekend they also dropped this nice (up to 720p) video montage of what hell may be like if you carry a fantastically large penis scythe.

"Green Man Gaming today revealed a new digital games retail platform that monetises the digital pre-owned market." That is straight from their very limited press release and roughly translates into "We'll give you cash or cash-equivalent for your legally downloaded games." Uh. . . wow? That's a new twist on the used game market for sure and could mean I can finally get rid of my older Steam catalog, right?

In what I can only describe as a slight blow to literature everywhere but an interesting opportunity for literate gamers, Dante’s Inferno is being republished. In book form. By Electronic Arts. Oh, with Del Ray (ne Ballantine ne Random House) doing the bulk of the dead tree work. Don’t worry though, the fine folks who [...]

Bioware and other assorted involved parties have just announced the first official expansion (read: bigger than DLC) for Dragon Age: Origins. DAO - Awakening! There's not much on the official site as of yet so here's all the info I've got my hands on so far.

Here are the first few screens and a trailer video from Disney's up and coming Tron movie based video game. Tron: Evolution. Looks neat but I don't know if it would ever replace the stand-up console Tron game I played back in the 80's. At least for nostalgia.
