The offbeat first person brawler will be followed up in 2013.
Last night, ahead of the E3 rush, Atlus revealed that ACE Team is in the process of developing a sequel to Zeno Clash, simply titled Zeno Clash II. The Rock of Ages developer is producing the first-person brawler for the PC, Xbox Live Arcade, and the PS3 PlayStation Network and is expecting to release it in "early 2013."
Epic Baltimore formed from remains of Amalur studio.
Last month, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning developer Big Huge Games was suddenly and unceremoniously shut down after their parent company 38 Games missed a loan payment to the state of Rhode Island. Just like that around 80 employees were out of work. While some former employees were able to secure work with other area developers such as Zynga East and ZeniMax Online, a vast majority were still unemployed. Until Epic Games stepped in, that is.

Not so sure I’m down with Minecraft, ya dig?
Having had no experience with Minecraft on the PC, Minecraft: 360 Edition seemed like the perfect place for me to dig in and see what all the hubbub was about. After spending hours with the game, I find myself struggling with how to feel about the experience. At times, the genius of its world, its intricate interacting components, and the potential to do whatever you can dream of kept dragging me back to play some more. Other times, I was overwhelmed with the required monotonous labor necessary to put your ideas into practice and felt like I was playing a glorified version of Farmville where I had signed myself up for a series of simulated chores that I would rather not be doing. And so, I have a divided opinion on the experience – which I think won’t be unusual among the masses discovering Minecraft for the first time.
