Prison Architect: everything we know

Prison Architect is exactly that: a prison management simulator in which you build, maintain, and occasionally ruin a prison. It’s funny, clever and deep. It’s also still being improved: it’s available to play now as an Alpha, but developers Introversion are still working on making it better. 

Should you give Prison Architect a play? Here’s everything we know.

You can fly a Millennium Falcon in Outerra, the powerful Earth simulation engine

Outerra is a planet simulator. But it’s not just simulating any old planet, god no, it’s simulating our planet, the one we’re on right now! That’s a brave choice. Considering all of the planets that they could’ve chosen to simulate, they chose the one that could be held to the highest degree of scrutiny. You need only look out of your own window and spot one errantly simulated mountain to prove Outerra wrong, but you can’t, because Outerra is never wrong*.

The engine uses elevation data from satellites to render with incredible precision the valleys and plains and coastlines of our dear Earth what we live on. It’s also got aeroplane and flight physics built in, which means, thanks to modders, you can pilot a Millennium Falcon over the Alps and zip along the Pennines on a speeder bike.

*Often wrong.

A Tale of Two Worlds is a beautiful platformer in the mould of Trine

A Tale of Two Worlds is a beautiful platformer in the mould of Trine

Some smart French students have put together an alpha for their platformer A Tale of Two Worlds. It’s playable in your browser right now, and offers beautifully crafted puzzles cast from the same mould as Trine. The key difference here though is that replacing Trine’s three heroes is a pair of worlds - that of magic and of technology. Oh, and they’re also on screen at the same time.

Uber respond to Planetary Annihilation alpha price rage: "Our pricing was determined by our Kickstarter"

Early access to Planetary Annihilation began with a bang last week for backers, but less welcome explosions soon followed as newcomers turned up at the gate to discover a near-vertical $90 entry fee.

Consider those new would-be fans, if you will, the Rock. And those Kickstarter obligations sat on Uber Entertainment’s shoulder? The Hard Place.

Title Bout Championship Boxing 2013 is a no-frills pugilism sim, out now

Title Bout Championship Boxing 2013 is a no-frills pugilism sim, out now

When boxing games aren’t Punch-Out!!, in my experience, they’re glistening, photorealistish things that you watch while sweatily stirring a thumbstick around a plastic white cauldron. Bit rubbish.

I’d say biffing simulator Title Bout Championship Boxing was about changing that, but it turns out the series has been around for absolutely yonks. Based on the boardgame of the same name, the game’s latest iteration comes from tiny Sussex outfit PISD.

Stonghold Crusader 2 revealed: return to the desert to catapult diseased cows all over again

It’s been too long since I sent the carcass of disease-ridden cow flying over the walls of an enemy castle. Firefly Worlds must have had a similar itch to scratch: today they’ve sent word that they’re hard at work on Stronghold Crusader 2, a followup to their castle-based strategy game released way back in 2002.

The long-awaited sequel will be building on the updates brought to the series in Stronghold 3 while also aiming to fix some of the mistakes Firefly made along the way, too.

MolyJam Deux is a game jam that will “define a new generation” where shoes cause revolutions

Peter Molydeux is the greatest game designer that ever lived. He sits somewhere in the tree that the Twitter bird nests, doing nothing but explain beautiful, philisophical, or life-changing game designs in that soothing voice of his. People crowd beneath that tree to hear his wisdom, or just follow him @PeterMolydeux. MolyJam Deux is the second worldwide game jam in which developers come together and produce the games of which he speaks, and it all kicks off July 5th.
