Stardock Games Make their Way to Steam

Stardock Games

Stardock Games, publisher of games such as Demigod and Sins of a Solar Empire originally sold their games exclusively on their own digital distribution services (such as Impulse). Since selling the rights to the Impusle client to Gamestop, they now are free to sell their games anywhere they want. As such, they have begun selling their games via Steam. Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity is the first one to make its way over to steam and will normally be sold for $19.99, but is on sale now for $14.99. More games will be sold on steam in the coming weeks.

Trittion Warhead Brings True Wireless Audio to the Xbox 360

Tritton

Earlier this week, at the CES Unveiled Press Preview, Mad Catz displayed an upcoming premium wireless headset for the Xbox 360. This new headset, the Tritton Warhead, is a Dolby Surround capable unit with true 7.1 channel audio output. As the result of a unique licensing partnership with Microsoft, the Warhead is the first ever third party developed headset that does not require the use of a loopback audio cable. As such, the Warhead is the only non-first party headset to be completely wireless.

Additional features include a fully adjustable headband, 5.8ghz wireless transmission frequency, an ergonomic design, in-base battery storage, and the ability to hear your own voice with Selective Voice Monitoring (SVM) technology. Exact pricing information is not available at this time. That said, as the Warhead is designed as a top-tier headset, expect the price to reflect this accordingly. The Tritton Warhead is slated for release sometime next year, exclusively for the Xbox 360. According to Mad Catz, more information is forthcoming at the International CES this January.

Kingdoms of Amalur Smart Level Scaling Revealed

Reckoning

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, the upcoming RPG by 38 Studios is looking better and better. 38 studios announced in a recent interview that the game will feature some interesting dynamics that are vastly different from other games in the same genre. Most of today large scale RPG's scale the level of the enemies so that players are faced with a challenge wherever you go. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning has set enemy levels for the different areas of the game.

Systems designer Will Miller said regarding the different areas, “When the player first enters one of those regions, we clamp all of the region’s NPCs to the level of the player, provided he’s within the range. So if you’re a level 20 character and you go to a level five to ten area, we clamp it at ten. And if you’re too low, we clamp at the low value.
