Shivvering Isles is discounted.

Good enough to be worth 1200 points after all this time?

Trials HD passes the two million mark

Our good friends at RedLynx announced today that Trials HD sales have surpassed two million units. The only other XBLA games to turn those kinds of numbers are Castle Crashers and UNO. In response to hitting this huge milestone RedLynx CEO Tero Virtala issued the following statement:

“It’s been a little more than a year and a half since Trials HD was released. For a digitally downloaded game, this is a significant milestone, and shows one of the many ways the digital space is quickly growing and the industry itself is changing and evolving. We couldn’t be more pleased with the success, and we’d like to thank all our fans for their continuous support and enthusiasm for our game.”

Futuremark teases space dogfights, UFOs and cats



E3 is almost upon us, doubtless with heaps of new game announcements in tow. For now, though, 'tis the season for cruelly teasing and hinting at new projects. Futuremark Games Studio, developer of zero-g FPS Shattered Horizon, is joining in the fun with a teaser showing off three new projects, including a spaceship shooter, a game apparently inspired by UFO B movies, and something with a microscopic cartoon cat.

The spaceship combat game looks especially exciting. Small attack ships are seen engaging each other in dogfights, and making attack runs to destroy parts of larger vessels. It appears to be multiplayer, not to mention quite gorgeous."In true teaser spirit, we are not revealing any further details today: no titles, genres, or release dates," the developer said. "If you like to categorise your news and trailers, however, you can tag this under PC, XBLA and iOS. We will leave it to your readers to guess which platforms apply to each game (there are only 343 possible combinations)."

For my money, the UFO shlock is probably headed to Xbox Live Arcade and possibly PC too, the spaceship-o-rama is for PC and maybe XBLA, while the cat game's on iOS.

"We will share more details with you soon," Futuremark says. Hey, E3's soon!

Duels 2012 will feature core deck editing



The next iteration of Duels of the Planeswalkers, dubbed Duels 2012, will see significant improvements over its 2009 predecessor. The most significant change was officially announced yesterday on the game’s community boards, thanks to a post from Community Manager WotC_Microbless, who confirmed that the new game would have the ability to remove cards from the core 60 card deck and replace them with cards unlocked as rewards for playing the game.

Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 looks to be an improvement over last year's game in every way. There's a much lengthier single-player campaign this time around, support for online co-op, a new Archenemy multiplayer mode, a cleaner, more vibrant UI, all running on a tweaked version of the first game's engine, so the controls should be familiar. These are iterative enhancements, for sure, but ones that show Stainless Games has made concerted efforts to respond to community feedback and offer a more robust, diverse experience.

I remember someone on here saying it was good?

I wouldn't say it looks crap, but it certainly doesn't look to be anything special. It's either a case of "you have to play it" or it's one of those games that people seem to think is great purely because it's "retro". I really hate those kinds of people.

Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team listed by ratings board

The reliably spoilerific Australian Classifications Board has revealed an unannounced Warhammer 40,000 title.

Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team, which was classified M15 on May 27, is listed as a multiplatform game from THQ Digital Studios UK.

As Joystiq points out, in the Warhammer 40,000 canon, a kill-team is a specialised unit of space marines.

Given the developer and suggestive title, we could be looking at a tie-in promotional game for the upcoming Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, much like Red Faction: Battlegrounds.

But only on the US Marketplace, and only for Gold members. Nice one MS, you really expect me to pay for promotional content?
