If the fan reactions at Pax Prime 2011 are anything to go by, Firefall is a game to be excited about. A massively multiplayer game currently in beta, David Moss affectionately refers to its genre as a blend of World of Warcraft and Team Fortress.
The last Firefall video we showed you, back in October, may have been a good teaser, but here’s a full two hours of gameplay footage, recorded via the game’s first live beta stream. Sitting in are some members of developer Red 5 themselves, including a community manger and technical designer.
I love fast-paced sci-fi FPS action — Quake 3 Arena and Unreal Tournament will forever remain classics to me — and Firefall looks to be right up my alley. I’ll pass on the whole generation of modern warfare games; just give me a jetpack and a plasma gun. Who’s with me?
The Project Zomboid developers have released a few videos showing off upcoming features to their zombie survival game, including carpentry, new lighting, and new NPC interaction mechanics.
Carpentry, depicted in the video above, allows players to construct shelters with multiple floors.
Players will have a choice of using the old tile-based lightning system of the fancy new system with softer-edged shadows and a moodier feel. Lunar cycles and weather affect the degree of ambient light, and occasional power outages will have players needing to keep a backup light source on them at all times.
The devs have improved NPC AI and added new ways to interact with them via a radial menu.
No ETA on when the next update will go live, but it looks like Project Zomboid is shaping up to be a fun indie title.

Sure, you already knew that the Amazing version of Spider-Man is getting his own game, but have you seen the New York Comic Con debuted trailer yet? Unless you were in the room with us, the answer is probably no, but we’ve got it here for you right now!
It seems like a recent trend on iOS is for developers to band together on projects, putting all of their various resources together to create a better final product. This past July we learned of one such project called Bike Baron, a collaboration between Mountain Sheep, Qwiboo, and music composer Ari Pulkkinen. Bike Baron is a side-scrolling motorcycle stunt game in the vein of the popular Trials games from Redlynx, but ditches the overly-industrial visuals for a more cartoonish look and a heavy dose of humor.
Today, the developers have sent along information regarding pricing and the release date of Bike Baron. You can look forward to the game hitting the App Store on October 20th at a price of just 99¢. They have also sent over a new gameplay video featuring one of the extreme levels in the game, and in this case the word "extreme" seems to mean "really freaking difficult", as you can see for yourself:
I'd like to stress again that this was a demonstration of an extreme level, and you shouldn't expect all of the 40 levels in the game to be lined with explosive barrels, though there should be plenty of danger to be had in the game's normal progression. Also, you'll be able to create levels with as much danger as you'd like using the included level editor. Other features of Bike Baron will include iOS 5 and Universal iPad support, Game Center integration, and enhanced visual effects for the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S.
We'll be looking to get our hands on Bike Baron just as soon as possible, and while you wait for the game to drop on October 20th you can stop by our forums for a discussion of the game.
