Help an indie out. Miner Wars MMO, the promising looking space-based sandbox mining sim, has decided to go for the pre-order dollar. Twenty of them, to be precise. That down payment will help them kickstart the multiplayer version of their rock grinder, and pay for two years of access to the game.

All Back To Mine: Miner Wars MMO Pre-orders

Spacecraft: Blockade Runner
By Adam Smith on September 26th, 2011.
It seems like everywhere I look there are games springing up with procedurally generated worlds and fully destructible environments. That’s partly because I spend most of my waking hours looking at websites for in development, ambitious indie projects, but I’m still surprised by how many of the things there are. There are 3D and 2D choices, there are more complex iterations and this one here is set in space. It’s called Blockade Runner, which is the headline gag I would have used if it had been called literally anything else. Although in pre-release at the moment, it is possible to preorder and play around with the ship designer while waiting for a more functional version next year. Video and more details below.
Origin Charging £45 For SW:TOR Pre-Orders!
By John Walker on July 21st, 2011.
Update: GAME are now selling the Collector’s Edition for… £130!
Yesterday’s leak of the Star Wars: The Old Republic special edition has proven, not surprisingly, to be accurate. With ComicCon starting today, EA have somewhat pre-empted their in-show announcement by going official with the various packages on their site, perhaps in response to the rumours that swirled yesterday. However, while confirming everything that was expected (including that spunky mouse), they’ve yet to add a proper price to it all, despite claiming you can pre-order now. And as for the regular versions – the prices out there are looking ridiculous.
Crayon Physics Deluxe Pre-Order – At Last!
By John Walker on November 11th, 2008.
I first played Crayon Physics Deluxe just under a year ago, when sniffing around the IGF entries, and adored it. Then the waiting began. Finally, nearly a year later, Petri Purho’s Seumas McNally Grand Prize winning creation is available for pre-order.
Bioshock Opens Airlock On Steam Fnarrr
By John Walker on August 17th, 2007.
Good Lord, I’m sorry for adding yet another Bioshock post, but I guess this is kind of inevitable at the moment. (I do want to say that a year ago I started getting very excited about this game, announcing it was the only interesting thing on the horizon, and people thought I was stupid. Ha ha idiots – look at me now!)
Anyway, news is, Bioshock’s on Steam.
Which is quite a big deal, really. Read the rest of this entry »
