Death Inc. Resurrected Despite Kickstarter Disappointment
Death Inc., the rather lovely looking strategy game from Ambient Studios, has managed to find life after Kickstarter.

And the good news? If you pre-purchase, you’ll be able to play the alpha version of the game right now.…

Hate Halo Multiplayer? Microsoft Release ODST Campaign Edition for Single Player Fans
It's something that some have been asking of Activision and the Call of Duty series for quite some time, but Microsoft are the first to have actually done it. The newly released Halo ODST: Campaign Edition - available now for purchase from the Xbox Marketplace - is a digital-only Games on Demand release, this time without the Halo 3 multiplayer. For the reduced price of 1200 Microsoft Points, players can enter into the Halo world without needing to pay a premium for a section of the game they'll never play.

Microsoft Stock at Second Highest in 6 Months Despite Always-on Rumours
Microsoft have taken a bashing over the last few weeks, partly because of their flat out refusal to discuss their next console and partly because of the actions of Adam Orth, the Microsoft creative director who took to Twitter in defense of an always online console. The top articles on sites like N4G and Reddit have almost consistently housed articles about why Microsoft are doing things wrong. Why, then, is their stock at almost the highest it's been in six months?

Pokemon X & Y: Mewthree revealed?
A mysterious new Mewtwo-esque Pokemon was recently revealed on the official Pokemon website. Could this be a new Mewtwo form, an unexpected evolution or maybe a whole new Pokemon all together? Having stated the fact that: "It is suspected that the newly discovered Pokemon has some sort of connection with the legendary Mewtwo", any of the three theories are plausible. However, this reveal could be more closely related to the new Pokemon games than we think. Having been named "X" and "Y", it is very possible that these names are referring to the X and Y chromosomes of the human genome.

Borderlands 2 Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode Review
Originally, Borderlands 2 was not designed with a level cap raise in mind – everything in development was geared towards maxing out at 50. So when thousands of Borderlands 2 gamers had multiple level 50 character a few months (or weeks, in many cases) after release, Gearbox found themselves in a bit of a conundrum: stick to their guns, or go back in and tinker with the math to add more levels?

Early Age of Empires II HD Buyer Reports Aren’t Good…
People who pre-ordered Age of Empires II HD now have access to the game, and although the game manages to be everything the nostalgic remember, that unfortunately means everything. It seems that this is a straight re-release, with a few graphical options added, and that no enhancements have been made whatsoever.
