Free-to-play FPS Blacklight: Retribution is pulling the plug on its mostly-empty servers on March 11th, so say developers Hardsuit Labs via Reddit. The cyberpunk team shooter had a good run, first launching in 2010 as the commercial Blacklight: Tango Down (and the developers were called Zombie) before rebooting as Retribution in 2012. For its final month on PC (the PS4 version is still safe), Hardsuit Labs…

The signup for Blacklight: Retribution's closed beta is ongoing and another trailer has emerged for your viewing pleasure. It shows off some shooting, some explosions, some vehicles and a mech with strangely chubby legs. But don't take my word for it - see below and attempt to spot all those things for yourself!

Actually, with a name like Blacklight: Tango Down, you might be forgiven for thinking it was some kind of dancing game set in a dodgy club. Perhaps it should have been. We'll be able to tell soon, as we're going to be taking a closer look at it before…
I enjoyed Zombie Defence game The Last Stand. I enjoy its sequel even more. It's essentially the same idea, but inching something more complicated. By night, you defend the barricade. By day, you search for survivors, food and supplies. Except now this strategy level isn't as abstracted, with you choosing where on a map to look. You're also able to lay traps, equip your survivors…
