Slitherine announces Command: Northern Inferno, a new standalone expansion for
Command Air/Naval Operations, their pausable real-time strategy game.
This trailer offers
a stylized 1970's look at the project, and there are details and other media in
this product section. Here's word: The year is 1975, the Cold War is omnipresent and beneath the veneer of
détente the tension between the two superpowers irreversibly escalate towards
the ultimate confrontation.
As an at-sea "accident" results in the sinking of a Royal Navy frigate and
the Warsaw Pact is mobilizing, events rapidly spiral out of control. The world
is plunging towards another global conflict - but this time, there will be no
post-war recovery, only nuclear disaster.
Do you have what it takes to stand up to Soviet/WP forces and avert
Armageddon?
Command: Northern Inferno is a stand-alone game that uses the latest version
of the Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations (CMANO) engine. It also serves as a
DLC for existing CMANO owners.
For the first time after the release of the most realistic and accurate
modern warfare simulation, the developer, Warfare Sims, has created a
fully-fledged campaign expansion that encompasses 15 scenarios across one of the
most thrilling and intense moments of recent history.
While the campaign is fictitious, every single part of this electrifying set
of scenarios has be meticulously researched to deliver an entirely new
experience to please both novice players and experts.

The Age of Decadence will begin in about a month, as
this Steam community announcement has the news that the role-playing game
has "4 weeks until release," as of Thursday (thanks
RPGWatch via Acleacius). They say there
will be new beta builds weekly between now and then, and offer the patch notes
for the latest update. Here's a refresher on the game, describing developer Iron
Tower Studio's ambitions to create something different: The Age of
Decadence is an isometric, turn-based, single-player role-playing game set in a
low magic, post-apocalyptic fantasy world, inspired by the fall of the Roman
Empire. The game features a detailed skill-based character system, multiple
skill-based ways to handle quests, choices & consequences, and extensive
dialogue trees.
Traditionally, many fantasy RPGs are about killing things, clearing up dungeons,
and being a hero. Now, there is nothing wrong with mindless fun and wish
fulfillment, but we serve a different meal here.
This trailer from
the Tokyo Games Show offers a look at Mirror's Edge Catalyst, mostly using
cinematics from the upcoming parkour action sequel. The clip is presented on a
Japanese page with Japanese subtitles, but the narration is in English. Thanks

Square Enix announced at the Tokyo Game Show Square the cancellation of Final
Fantasy Agito,
reports Siliconera (in spite of
it being out in
Japan), saying the new plan is to release a game called Final Fantasy
Type-0 Online for Windows and Smartphones. They offer some screenshots, and
say this "will be like Final Fantasy Type-0’s multiplayer mode, but a more
evolved form, and in hack-and-slash fashion." This is being developed by Chinese
online game specialist Perfect World, and while they are considering bringing
this westward, for now this is only planned for launch in Japan, where it is
expected in the spring.
Ahoy mateys, it's Talk Like a Pirate Day! Here we go:

"You'll walk the plank!"
