New Star Trek Game

Sure, it looks like Mass Effect but atleast it won't be boring and have a story and characters in it =p

Wasteland 2: Gameplay video

Its looking good. It doesn't look much like the Wasteland but more like Fallout/Fallout tactics. Then Wasteland came out in the 80's so didn't look like much back then either. I love the text box describing everything, that really adds a RPG feel to the game and is something Wasteland relied on alot.

The way it plays seems like Jagged Alliance 2 which is what I am really excited about. The Hybrid real time explore / turnbased combat and skill system.

Its looking good and I will buy it as soon as it appears on steam.

Update:

Looks like the video has been deleted.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Gameinformer posted this story:

Our March cover story gives a world-exclusive peek into the next generation of RPGs with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This standalone sequel takes the fascinating stories and characters, non-linear plotlines, and difficult decisions that the franchise is known for and puts them all in an open world 30 times larger than the previous game – an enormous setting even larger than Skyrim's vast expanse, made possible with the new REDengine 3 technology that developer CD Projekt RED is debuting with the game. Our huge feature dives into everything The Witcher 3 has to offer, and it's a lot: the detective work that precedes deadly combat when monster hunting, storylines that weave and twist together between political intrigue and otherworldly menaces, and a tired hero who wants to set things right but can't put down his swords until his conscience allows – if it ever does.

Coming in 2014 on PC and "all high-end platforms available" (CD Projekt RED isn't saying flat-out that it's a next-gen game, but it's a safe bet that new console announcements in the coming months will define the term "high-end platform"), The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt stretches from stormy islands to war-torn forests and a sprawling dark fantasy metropolis without a loading screen anywhere to be found.

Bigger than Skyrim. Sounds fantastic.

Witcher 1 was more like a Bioware game ( just with character, story ) in that it was a bunch of chapters that you got locked into.

Witcher 2 had a more open feeling to it but it was still locked chapters. Once you finsihed one area you left and didn't really return but those area's were more freeform in the way you could explore them.

Witcher 3 sounds truely open. Massive landscapes and we finally get to truely explore the witchers world.

I can't wait.

Grimrock is better on Steam

I recently re brought the Legend of Grimrock when it was on sale over the weekend on steam. Originally I had the Good old games version ( as it was announced on there first ) but when the editor came out with steamworks the Good old games version was left out in the cold with only the Nexus for mods.

Since re buying it on steam I have gotten back into the game in a big way and its great to be playing dungeon crawlers again. Finding secrets, wondering what to do when you run out of food ( current situation as I scavenge the lower levels for monsters to eat ) and just what is the game going to throw at me next.

Already the mods being made for the game are amazing with new tilesets and monsters. Everything is modable in the game and it is now a complete dungeon crawler construction set.

Steam workshop just makes it easier to browse the mods and the nexus for the ones to large to fit on steam.

War of the Roses: Brian Blessed DLC

Most DLC isn't worth the effort. Its just tacked on gameplay, skins or armor for your horse. It makes a mockery of gaming in general.

And then you have Brian Blessed DLC, a whole new level of DLC that everyone must own.
