Wizards of the Coast are suing Cryptozoic: "Hex is a nearly identical game to Magic"
Comment
Blatant, willful, and malicious. That’s what Wizards of the Coast think of Cryptozoic’s work on the digital card game Hex. They believe the CCG developers have misappropriated enough particulars of Magic: The Gathering to fill several pages of a patent infringement suit.
“In short, Cryptozoic has produced a nearly identical copy of Magic,” wrote the publishers in their claim.
Huge super capital fight in EVE Online obliterates 500 billion ISK in ships
Comments6
New Eden has once again been the scene of a huge engagement, this time the result of a clever bait by the Black Legion alliance. Using one of their precious Super Carriers - one of the biggest and most expensive ships in EVE Online - they managed to bait the RAZOR alliance into a trap. It wasn’t long before the event escalated into a full blown Super Capital ship warfare from both coalitions of CFC and N3.
It was a bloody battle with over 500 billion ISK ($10,000) worth of ships destroyed, and luckily I was online and nearby to view the whole thing go down.

“Current development goals and schedules for our games will not be affected by this attack,” said Bohemia.
Perish The Thought Of Ignoring Gorgeous Roguelike Perish
By Nathan Grayson on May 15th, 2014 at 2:00 pm.
To begin, I will admit that Perish is not in any way an unheard of quantity in the world of PC games. It’s a roguelike-like with random generation and permadeath. Once upon a time nobody did that for 20 years, but now it’s every videogame. Perish does, however, sweeten the pot with Dark-Souls-inspired biff-thud-whump-*sounds of your own pitiful whimper*-ing and a gorgeously gloomy aesthetic. Basically, it’s Dark Souls meets Spelunky. It’s still pretty early, but there’s an alluringly melancholic trailer below.
