“Gatheryn welcomes players into a world where steam powers everything from vehicles to mechanical monkeys, and mystery enshrouds a romantic landscape reminiscent of Charles Dickens’ Victorian London.”

According to the Kotaku guys, the devs at MindFuse plan to let players forgo the usual level grinding in favor of just buying equipment and costumes using game currency earned from playing the casual games or just coughing up with a credit card.

A closed PC beta will be available for sign up in December, with an open beta in the new year.

Humans may have just twenty-three years to go.

Miss A. sent me a link the other day about SuperStruct, the world’s first massively multiplayer forecasting game. Gamers help to chronicle how we will live in 2019 and how we might solve the problems we have to face sooner or later. The game is played on forums, blogs, videos, wikis, and other familiar online spaces and although I’m just researching myself into it, not spending serious time with it, this looks progressive, challenging and smart. (And is backed by the Ten-Year Forecast team at the Institute for the Future, a not-for-profit think tank based in Palo Alto, California.)

To play the game, you first need to invent a future self, then familiarize yourself with one of the five superthreats - Quarantine, Ravenous, PowerStruggle, Outlaw Planet and Generation Exile -, then adopt one, base a story around, search for team members (allies) and then design the future around your story. Bad public PR: The Ten Year Forecast team at the Institute for the Future will analyze the player-created game content. We’ll prepare an official Superstruct Report featuring our top collective insights about the year 2019, and the best tactics for superstructing society. No more, no less.

EA is set to reveal a brand new entry in Bullfrog’s cult classic Syndicate series, CVG has been told. The gritty cyberpunk action-strategy game that put you in charge of a global military corporation sending out a team of cyborg agents to perform missions throughout the world was released in 1993 and was continued in 1996 with a sequel with a very fucked up game interface, Syndicate Wars. The game was amazing, very monotonous and a very good hotbed for a normal remake. (via cvg)

Hello, filthy readers. This week triggers a whole lot of stuff (stuff as in personal and secondly, stuff) and a series of new posts, but as we all know, Mondays are different. Mondays need strong, boiling, freshly brewed Mexican concoctions and boobs, such as the Top 50 Cosplay Cleavage Shots. The link that Kotaku leads you to is obviously dead because of your enforced and uberzealous interests in chestmeat. But I fell for it, so you will, too. (via kotaku)
