Now some user at notebook-review forums posted the following:

Farming Simulator 15 is going Nordic, but won't mess with the fertiliser
Did you know? The last iteration of Farming Simulator sold over two million copies. Agricultural emulation has become more profitable than rearing actual, foul-smelling mammals.
That’s why Giants Software and publishers Focus Home are, as their press release puts it, “sticking to the recipe”. Farming Simulator 15 won’t change up the pig feed, but it will stick a new graphics and physics engine in its tractor this October.
Frozen Endzone becomes Frozen Cortex, because it's not a Madden game with robots
Mode 7’s Frozen Endzone has just undergone some drastic changes. The most obvious of which is the game’s rebranding. It’s now Frozen Cortex. The use of “Endzone” made folk think it was an American football game with robots, which it isn’t. The new name also brings it closer to the previous Frozen game, the wonderful Frozen Synapse.
On top of the name change, there’s a big update today, tweaking a whole slew of things.
Areal Kickstarter suspended after exceeding its target
Update: West Games co-founder Eugene Kim said that the developer was unable to provide an update on Kickstarter or notify backers at the moment. It's not clear why. An official statement will be go up in the next couple of hours, however.
Post apocalyptic shooter and so-called STALKER successor Areal has had a dramatic Kickstarter; one filled with accusations, spam-filled comment sections and a lot of strange characters cropping up. It’s almost become fantastical.
And today, only a few days after the Kickstarter campaign exceeded its goal - a surprise to everyone - the campaign has been suspended.
Take a break, MOBAs, because you're drowning us
“We’re making a MOBA, an ARTS, a ZOMBA, a MOTA, a MOBAFPS,” is something we’re hearing a lot of these days. No IP or theme is safe. There’s one for Lord of the Rings, one with zombies and another with gods. Even EA is getting in on the action, and Blizzard, too. The heavens have opened up and we’re being drowned in MOBAs.
Dear industry: please, slow down.
Guild Wars 2 has an Elder Dragon problem in The Dragon's Reach Part 1
There’s never a moments peace in Tyria. Right now, adventurers are dealing with some serious plant problems in season two’s second episode, Entanglement. And it looks like the impending third episode isn’t going to give them a break.
Arenanet is teasing the next part in the Living World, The Dragon’s Reach Part 1.
Battlefield Hardline has been delayed until 2015, and that's okay
Battlefield Hardline’s delay until next year shouldn’t come as a surprise given how thin the beta was. It’s a smart call by Visceral. Despite the developer claiming that it’s not simply a Battlefield 4 reskin, that’s exactly what it felt like during the beta. Steve and Matt put some time into it, so check out Two men complain about the Battlefield Hardline beta. They were not impressed.
Visceral will be using the extra time to push the game further based on feedback from the beta. “The more we thought about these ideas, the more we knew we had to get them into the game you will all be playing,” said DICE VP Karl Magnus Troedsson. “However, there was only one problem. We would need more time. Time that we didn’t have if we decided to move forward with launching in just a couple of months.”
EVE Online's going through its own Industrial Revolution with the launch of Crius
CCP’s decision to move away from big expansions separated by long periods of time to 10 a year doesn’t seem to have stopped the developer from filling them with content. The latest expansion, Crius, launches today, bringing with it substantial changes to one of EVE’s core concepts: industry.
Assassin's Creed Unity's redesigned engine sounds promising
Ubisoft’s pretty chuffed with the tech behind Assassin’s Creed Unity. And well they might, because at a glance, it does seem fairly impressive - at least in terms of creating a lively, detailed city.
Creative director Alex Amancio lends his voice to a video breaking down the improvements brought about by Ubisoft Montreal and the redesigned game engine, including buildings that are no longer just facades and more fluid movement when travelling and in a fight. Take a gander below.
Crysis 3 & Ryse Producer, Mike Read, Has Left Crytek – “Wish we could have done more on Crysis 3″
Things are definitely not looking good for Crytek. Homefront’s producer has left the building, Tiego Sousa – the man behind CRYENGINE – has recently left Crytek and we just found out that Mike Read, producer of both Crysis 3 and Ryse – has resigned from this German studio. Continue reading

Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software, decided to break his silence and defend Battleborn on Twitter. As you must be aware of, Battleborn is a new FPS with MOBA elements.
