I'm pretty out of it as far as gaming news, as well as updates on this site. However, if you're looking for something fresh in the way of the "Jetpack", you may be interested in Shattered Horizon. It's what I would call 4 dimensional game play, as players are not limited to one field of "rotation". Possibly not a "Tribes"-esque game, the game may pan out to be a hit.

The game releases tomorrow, November 4th, is available on Steam for pre-purchase ($20), and you can save $2 by pre-ordering.

You can read all about the game and watch some nice videos at their site here: http://shatteredhorizon.com/

Recently Left 4 Dead was patched through with the much awaited "community content" patch. The authoring tools have been updated, and the game now supports custom maps to be played online. Options have been added to the in-game menus to support Add-ons.

Source files for all the official campaign maps

Instant Action Technology

Q: How does the website PlayTribes.com amount to more than just "tribes in a browser"? Can't I get all the same functionality playing the game standalone from an installer?

A: The platform that PlayTribes is built upon provides us with a unique opportunity to present a community experience for the game Tribes that has never been seen before. The core technology itself enables...
