Nadeo Working On ShootMania FPS
Nadeo, the brilliant company behind the TrackMania franchise, just announced that they’re working with Ubisoft on a first person shooter called – you guessed it – ShootMania.
No real information is available about the project yet but the base concept is the same one that made TrackMania so popular: give the end user a suite of content creation tools that are easy to use but powerful enough to have fun with and cut them loose. I can’t wait, myself.
Syndicate – Launch Trailer
I haven’t followed the development on this one hardly at all but it certainly looks cool.

EA Unexpectedly Releases Battlefield 3 iOS Game
The EA mobile division unexpectedly and inexplicably released a god-awful iOS bastardization of Battlefield 3 this morning. It’s apparently tied to some sort of advertising partnership with the producers of the upcoming war movie Act of Valor.
The game is called Battlefield 3: Aftershock and – no surprise, here – it’s terrible. Even free, it isn’t worth downloading.

THQ Delays Metro: Last Light, Publishes Release Schedule
The saga of video game publishing titan THQ has taken several twists and turns this week. A day after reducing their workforce by 240 positions, the company is making headlines again for several reasons. Here’s a quick rundown of what we know right now.
- Metro: Last Light, sequel to Metro 2033, has been delayed to 2013.
- There are more than 1.4 million unsold uDraw tablets collecting dust in a warehouse right now. THQ lost $100 million on that investment decision.
- The Warhammer 40,000 MMO, Dark Millennium Online, is not canceled!
- inSane, the horror game that Volition was working on with director Guillermo Del Toro, and Homefront 2, which was in development at Crytek UK, are both still happening.
- THQ has two unannounced “core” titles planned for release in fiscal year 2014 and four planned for release in fiscal year 2014.
Not bad considering that the company is otherwise falling apart at the seams.
