9lives.be: "In an exclusive interview with 9lives, the Dutch developer W!Games – known from My Horse and Me for pc, Wii and DS – has revealed their newest project, Greed Corp. This game for PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade will combine elements from Civilization and Settlers of Catan in its gameplay.
Greed Corp. will take place on an island where four factions (Empire, Kartel, Pirates and Freemen) continuously dig for resources. Because of this digging fever, the island is slowly disappearing. That is the story behind the game. The game itself will contain a singleplayer campaign that will last some 8 hours. It will unlock several multiplayer maps, as multiplayer is the main focus of the game. In the multiplayer, two or four players can fight each other in rounds that will take some twenty minutes. Perfect for a quick game.
The purpose of the game is to place buildings on the squares, so that they can start generating money to purchase units. A Harvester-building will be able to dig for resources, but that means that the ground will drop from underneath your buildings, leading to their destruction in the end. Therefore the player is forced to play tactically and head for higher ground. This means that the confrontation with other players cannot be avoided as they will do the same thing. The last one standing in the ever-decreasing size of the map will be victorious.
Greed Corp. will release on PSN in september. It will also release on XBLA, but Xbox 360 owners will have to wait several months before Greed Corp. will tumble onto their console."

January is almost over, and we have one more Plus update for you, but first let’s reminisce on this month’s offerings, shall we? Plus member freebies included NBA Jam: On Fire Edition, Darksiders, Mega Man 9 and 10, along with Foosball 2012, and we there were some awesome deals with the 13 for ’13 discounts (last day is today). Topping it all off was access to the God of War: Ascension multiplayer beta, and the 12+3 Plus promotion where you can buy one year of Plus and get three extra months at no additional cost; which is active right now.
We’re sending January off by welcoming Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus for PS Vita, free for Plus members! There are also some amazing PSN gems at fantastic prices that you may have missed. Read on and enjoy the update, which takes effect when the PlayStation Store updates on January 29th.

The world of Android gaming has expanded greatly in the past few years, and the strategy genre has not been left out. From turn-based military strategy games, to classic real-time strategy gameplay in the tradition of Command and Conquer and Starcraft, to city-building games focused on creating instead of destroying, to the tower defense games that seem to comprise about two thirds of all mobile games published in the past five years, there’s something for everybody.
Slay is pretty cool, but I wish Sean would also bring Critical Mass to android. Or maybe not....I'd NEVER get anything done
Heroes of the Order of Chaos * Kingdom & Lords both look good.
I don't have my iphone yet but those are both purchases once I do. I'm just not into the finger swipe game controls...maybe I'll have to invest in the ios Controllers they have out now.
Any work with iphones ?
DIYGamer: Digital scarcity is an interesting concept. There should be no logical limit on how many times you can copy a file or generate a key, some places seem to just run out of stock anyway. That’s a deliberate decision on part of the Indie Gala managers for this pay-what-you-want (kinda) sale, as rather than have a time limit, this particular sale will end with 50,000 bundles sold. In addition, there’s three different bundles available here, offering 3, 5 or 11 games respectively. Oh, and like the enormously successful Humble Bundles, a chunk of the takings goes to charity. Lots of choices. Hit the break for a quick run-down of what each bundle and game offers.
