Magicka: Wizard Wars' combatants are hooked on crystal
Comment
Wizards, much like magpies, are always on the lookout for something new and shiny, so Paradox North has given the murderous, psychopathic spell-flingers of Magicka: Wizard Wars - a game we're rather fond of - some pretty baubles to collect. These are no mere ornaments, though; we're talking about elemental crystals that unlock powerful Magicks. Tools of devastation, then.
And since it's Christmas, the imps are wearing Santa hats and festive cheer permeates throughout the blood-soaked battlefield. Awww, lovely.

Comment
Unless you live down south, the holiday season is probably a cold and bleak time for you, where sleet and snow and drunk family members keep you stuck indoors. Blizzard understands this, presumably, which is why its hosting The Holiday Arcade Marathon on Friday, December 20 from 10AM to 10PM PST.
The Blizzard Community Team will be messing around online all day, and "special guests" from the Starcraft community will be popping in for shenanigans. A full schedule of events will be posted near the end of the week.

Comments1
Every time I hear about Nosgoth, the hole in my chest that was once filled by Legacy of Kain gets larger. It's not the game we dreamed of, but team-based PvP can be a hoot, so it might still be worth making room for. Nosgoth is going to be entering closed beta soon (and you can register for a chance to play now), and to celebrate, Square Enix and Psyonix have put together a trailer filled with throats being ripped out and head-exploding arrows. Oh my.
Meet Minecraft's in-game 3D printer, powered by redstone and too much brains
Comment
Since the early days of Minecraft, some of Creative Mode’s more scale-tacular achievements have been built with outside help. This one-to-one model of the Starship Enterprise, for instance, was sketched out in 3D modelling software first before its creator imported the vectors into the game, deck by deck. Community opinion is divided on their legitimacy of these creations as Great Works.
There’s no question about the creative capabilities of ItsJustJumby, though - the man behind this in-game Minecraft 3D printer.
