Retro Revival Fire & Forget: The Final Assault Coming May 16th
If you remember the original Fire & Forget, I may need to repeat this several times, because your mind probably isn't what it used to be. I kid, of course, but it's true that this is an IP that has been dormant for more than two decades. That's about to change, because on May 16th, Fire & Forget: The Final Assault will be released on PC/Mac, iOS devices and Android. It looks like the developers have tried to really capture what made those early games great and, if nothing else, there aren't a ton of shoot-em-up titles flooding the market right now.

You'll play as the president of the US, and will use your crazy kick-ass powers to save the planet from an evil alien invasion.

Final Fantasy VII PC Purchase has Thirty Day Limit
If you bought the PC re-release of Final Fantasy VII when it released last year, your download link has now expired.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Coming to PS3 this Summer
It may be a few years late, and a completely different game to that we were expecting, but Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is finally making it to the PlayStation 3. The PS3 release will coincide with the PC re-release. The MMO has something of an infamous past, in which the game was released to complete critical failure and then basically remade from the ground up. A slightly more solid release window is a hint that things are well on their way to improving within the world of Eorzea.

HTML5 tech truly is amazing, and there’s no better way of quickly checking it out than by running Epic Citadel, now available for play in browsers. Originally released to show off the Unreal Engine working on mobile devices, Epic Citadel is a beautiful tech demo that doesn’t take long to wander through and which shows the Unreal Engine will be a beast in browsers. The HTML5 version of the demo suffers from being too similar to its mobile counterpart. There’s…

Mars War Logs Launches into Retail Space in UK
Mars War Logs is a decent looking action-RPG available at the reasonable price of £14.99 on Steam, and available soon, digitally, on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The PC version of the game has had its retail launch today as well, although I imagine it basically boils down to sticking a code into Steam anyway. Mars War Logs tells the story of a planet in the midst of a civil war. In a world where water is scarce, corporations battle…
