Winterheart's Guild is a post-apocalyptic action-RPG. The setting is a harsh, brutal Earth, after the destruction of civilization at its technological peak. In this world, resources are scarce, and the environment is as dangerous as the enemies that the player must face. The world is mostly covered in snow and ice. It's not only the health of your character that matters, but also warmth and energy. Valuable items are hard to come by. In this world, you truly feel the value of finding a good weapon and a reasonable stash of ammunition.
The team is also planning to start development on an Xbox 360 version of the title, but this hasn't been confirmed yet.
It's been quite a while since there's been a true Wing Commander game for either PCs or consoles, the franchise is making it's return in the form of an Xbox Live Arcade title. Wing Commander Arena is a departure from the usual 3D space combat sim, and falls into the realm of an arcade style multiplayer shooter. GameInformer chatted with the title's Producer and Designer Sean Penney to get the backstory, feature set, the reaction from the fanbase, and the potential of seeing a new full fledged next-gen Wing Commander title.
Darn it, M$--too much gaming goodness for hours in the day.. Oh how I love thee (XBOX360, not the corporation--that'd just be sick)... gCM
