Landmark closed beta now on Steam Early Access
Landmark, which as of a couple months ago was "EverQuest Next Landmark," is now on Steam Early Access. The voxel building MMO was pitched as both a standalone creative game and a testbed for the RPG features and environments of the new EverQuest, and that remains the case despite the new title. As of right now, though, Landmark is all about exploring, mining, crafting, and crazy projects like the manor above (see more like that in Tim's gallery of the best creations).

Immortal Kombat: Warlocks’ Chaotic Magic Battling
By Nathan Grayson on May 13th, 2014 at 11:00 am.
I’m not entirely sure how Warlocks will turn out, but for the moment I’d say it’s cast a spell on me. A war spell. Now I wish there were such a thing as a war spelling bee, but that’s a discussion for another day. Warlocks is a sidescrolling local-multiplayer-friendly magi-fighter done up in satisfyingly meaty – perhaps even girthy – pixelated style. Developer Spiffy Goats – evidently far better at naming themselves than their games – is aiming for a sweet spot between spell slinging strategy and outright chaos, and I think they might just be onto something. Plus, brilliant roguelike-like Risk of Rain is apparently a big influence in the single-player and co-op departments. Trailer and details below.
