Friday Shorts – The Tester casting call, Skylanders, Insanely Twisted DLC

The weekend is here, Australians! Swallow these last little nibbles and punch out.

• Rift developer Trion Games has hired Age of Empires veteran David Luehmann.
• The US military has expressed interest in unusual RTS game Achron, which allows players to use time travel.
• There will soon be DLC for the recently-released Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet.
• Siliconera has some details on Metal Max 2 Reloaded, the revamp coming to DS.
• Here’s a trailer for Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventures, the one with the toys you plug into the game.
• Has Australia quietly launched its R18+ category without telling anyone? No.
• Sony’s put out a casting call for Season Three of The Tester, which nets the winner a job at Sony Santa Monica.
• Shift 2: Unleashed is out now on iOS, and CVG has some screens. Looks alright.

Today’s unrelated street art.
