Star Wars: Battlefront will innovate, won’t just re-hash old DICE ideas – Gibeau
Star Wars: Battlefront developer DICE is a good fit for the franchise, what with all the previous troop, vehicle and flying warfare seen in its Battlefield series over the years.

Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara four pack available on Steam
You can now pick up a four-pack of Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara on Steam for $45. The pack includes four complete bundles of the remastered Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom and Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara. Having a couple of extra games handy is a perfect way to entice a few mates into the drop-in, drop-out co-op, I guess.
Thanks, Capcom Unity.

EverQuest Next confirmed as official title of new MMORPG
EverQuest franchise diector Dave Georgeson has confirmed on Twitter that the next EverQuest game is officially titled EverQuest Next. The game was announced under the same moniker way back in 2010, but it was described as a working title only. We’ve heard very little since, although Massively reports development was completely rebooted at least once, so don’t hold your breath; that said, there are hints we may see it this year.
