| Game Insight Sends Strategy Games Skyward with Cloud Raiders Posted: 04 Feb 2014 11:37 AM PST Game Insight, a world leader in mobile/social games, has announced a swashbuckling new chapter in strategy games: Cloud Raiders. This exciting new game pits players and their armies of sky pirates against fabulous monsters and the most deadly adversaries of all: other players. Cloud Raiders will be released first for Android devices, and will be launching in the near future for other mobile and social platforms, including Facebook, iOS, Windows 8, and Windows Phone 8. The game is being developed by innoWate, the creator of the popular My Country games. Cloud Raiders takes action-packed strategy games to dizzying new heights by entrusting players with a massive island stronghold floating in the sky. Players assemble armies of ruthless raiders while also fortifying their bases with defensive emplacements to fend off enemy invasions. Over time, players can also form in-game clans with their friends to blast their foes right out of the skies by launching daring player-versus-player (PvP) raids. In Cloud Raiders, players can fortify their bases with anything from cannons to traps to magical artifacts, while leading their own troops into battle. Players must be ready for anything, including encroachments from massive monsters and legendary buccaneers that wander the skies in search of easy prey‹as well as raiding parties sent by enemy players in search of loot! In order to keep their own holdings safe and conquer this brave new world, players can research and unlock new troop types, brew powerful potions to strengthen their forces, launch mighty cannon salvos to even the odds, and build ever-larger armies of axe-wielding marauders, grenade-lobbing bombardiers, and fire-breathing dragons to win the day! Cloud Raiders will be available for Android in the nearest future. |

These new mounts are in addition to the new Lucemon Satan Burst mode and the ongoing Free Sweets events for February. |
| M.A.V – New 3rd person mech shooter hits Kickstarter Posted: 04 Feb 2014 10:08 AM PST Bombdog Studios, a new indie developer, has just revealed a new mech shooter by the name of M.A.V (Modular Assault Vehicle) recently on Kickstarter and Steam’s Greenlight program. With gameplay inspired by Chromehounds and Mechwarrior, you play as a MAV pilot, fighting against an oppressive government trying to turn your home into a forced labor camp. You will be able to build your MAV, piece by piece, into the perfect weapon for your fighting style. You will need to use teamwork and a steady aim to fight against other MAV’s to protect your home and take back the areas conquered by others. There will be thousands of parts to pick from, each with its own stats and appearance. There will be a weapon for every strategy, a cockpit for every style, and an armor plate that always fits just right. There are also lots of cosmetic changes you can make to your M.A.V., from the paint color of each part, to the camo patterns and colors that the parts have. The Kickstarter campaign has over 25% funding from over 180+ backers in the first 24 hours alone.

| Tribal Wars 2 – Unit System revealed Posted: 04 Feb 2014 10:05 AM PST InnoGames released additional information on the unit system of its online strategy game Tribal Wars 2. Thirteen offensive and defensive units will be responsible for the players' shining victory or crushing defeat on the battlefield. Every unit brings its own set of weaknesses and strengths to the table. For example: archers are a great defense against foot soldiers, whereas rams will easily crush the enemies' fortifications. The new special units, the powerful berserker and the trebuchet might give players an edge in heated conflicts. There will be lots of new strategies and tactics to test in Tribal Wars 2. Not just entirely new players, but also hardened veterans of the first game might discover something unexpected. For Example: Mounted archers are the perfect countermeasure for defenses heavily relying on archers. The Preceptory, a new building, which can be unlocked later in the game, houses even more secret weapons. Having to choose from one of three factions, the players might get access to either the trebuchet or the berserker: the trebuchet is capable of effectively defending a village against siege weapons, whereas the berserkers feel no fear on the battlefield, they get stronger, the more enemies they have to face! Also, numerous generals support the players' tactical advancements with additional abilities. For more info on this system, visit www.tribalwars2.com |

| Guild Wars 2: Edge of the Mists Introduces New Content and WvW Improvements Posted: 04 Feb 2014 09:55 AM PST NCSoft and ArenaNet, publisher and developer of the acclaimed Guild Wars franchise, today introduces Guild Wars 2 players to a mysterious new realm in the 'Edge of the Mists'. The release delivers living world content that drives forward the story of villain Scarlet Briar, exposing more of her horrific plans for Tyria and its citizens. At the same time, 'Edge of the Mists' introduces an overflow map with new gameplay systems and improvements to the overall experience for World vs. World (WvW), the game's massive battle PvP mode that continues to surge in popularity. As players will discover in the 'Edge of the Mists', no place is safe from the schemes of supervillain Scarlet Briar. The previously undiscovered realm is now overrun by the Aetherblades; dreaded sky pirates of Tyria who are undoubtedly pursuing the deeds of their minion Scarlet. Tragically, norn warrior Braham along with asuran child prodigy Taimi; both key characters in Guild Wars 2; have become stranded in the Mists. Players must help them while fending off attacks from the vicious Aetherblades. The introduction of the 'Edge of the Mists' is also giving players a new way to experience the game's popular WvW mode. In WvW, armies of players engage in PvP on an epic scale, competing to seize territory, lay siege to castles, raid enemy supplies, and spread mayhem on four vast maps in the Mists. Now, players will never again have to wait to participate in WvW. 'Edge of the Mists' acts as an overflow map that gives them the option to continue playing in a PvP and PvE environment, with different zones that compose the map's network of floating islands inhabited by creatures such as the kodan, ogres, and grawl. Players continue to build rank and gain loot and achievements while still in queue to join regular WvW matches. There's also a new UI system in place that provides complete visibility on which maps are populated and anticipated queue times. The living world action in today's release isn't limited to the Mists. Back in Tyria, players will join two other key characters, Marjory and Kasmeer, in the seedy Dead End Bar to piece together clues as to Scarlet's true motives. Using artifacts and props from the last year of living world storylines, players will deduce Scarlet's ultimate plan in a shocking revelation. |
