A portion of an NWR review...

In a series known for its quiet allure and charismatic appeal, Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy is exactly what it should be: a gracious farewell.

Coming from the anonymous creator of Twitch Plays Pokemon...

“I’ve received a lot of requests to continue with the Pokémon franchise after the Elite Four and the Pokémon Champion get defeated, so I’m going to do that. I’m still deciding which of the generation 2 Pokémon games to go with.”

While it can be found for cheaper on mobile devices and doesn’t seem to take significant advantage of the hardware, its $3.99 price tag on the eShop still feels very reasonable for the thoughtful and sophisticated experience it offers.

One man's space trash is another man's space station in Habitat, a PC, Mac and Linux game that takes place in the cluttered arena of Earth's orbit, far in humanity's future. Players must use the junk floating around Earth - both manmade and alien - to manufacture a space base and manage its citizens. It's a strategy game with defense elements, since any piece of trash can be used to create kinetic weapons and fight off invading enemies.

Any trash - including the Eiffel Tower and Statue of Liberty, apparently.

Habitat comes from 4gency, an indie studio founded by Charles Cox, former senior program manager of the Xbox Advanced Technology Group at Microsoft, where he helped launch the Xbox One. In his resignation letter penned in September, Cox offered the following reason for his departure:

"There is no question in my mind that the adventure we have been on with Xbox One has been the greatest, most challenging of my career so far, and yet, a dream, nurtured since childhood, looms ever larger ahead of me, demanding I take action: to dive in as full-time founder of my own independent game studio. The time is right, the plan is set, and in true indie fashion, the passion is unstoppable. The parachute, of course, is nonexistent, but those things are overrated."

Habitat will be playable at GDC 2014 from March 19 - 21, at GDC Play booth #100 in the North Hall. 4gency plans to launch a Kickstarter in April to fund development of Habitat.

Many of you are probably looking forward to the final film in The Hobbit Trilogy, The Hobbit: There and Back Again, hitting theaters in December – I know I am. That’s why at PlayStation, we’re excited to announce that a new LEGO The Hobbit PlayStation 3 bundle is heading to Middle-earth – er, sorry – heading to North America. The bundle comes with a 500GB PS3 system and LEGO The Hobbit, the latest LEGO game inspired by the first two Hobbit films. The bundle hits store shelves this Spring for $269 (MSRP).

The PS3 bundle is perfect for gamers of all ages. You can join Bilbo, Gandalf, and Thorin Oakenshield’s Company of Dwarves as they journey across Middle-earth on an epic quest to reclaim the lost Kingdom of Erebor from the Dragon Smaug. Visit some of the film trilogy’s most iconic locations, including The Shire, Rivendell, and the Misty Mountains, where Bilbo first meets Gollum and discovers The One Ring. Along the way, you can test your mettle with Treasure Quests, mine for gems, discover loot from enemies and craft powerful magical items. The game offers a different take on The Hobbit film universe, infusing the legendary journey with the familiar humorous gags we have come to love from LEGO games, as well as the ability to build immense new LEGO structures.

Like Gandalf, we’re looking for someone to share in the adventure. Join us!

This information comes from a Google translated interview with Francisco Téllez de Meneses, the creator of Unepic...

In 3DS options are very limited because the screen is too small and because the graph has only 6Mb memory. Unepic now uses more than 150Mb graphics textures. Besides programming is not optimized (because a PC is very powerful) CPU and 3DS not think I could with it (with WiiU and just going to go to 60fps). About Vita, is closer to Wii U in TV-Off that both 3DS screen size and resources, so that there are chances of seeing a porting. "

Meneses also discussed another upcoming project that is a 'brother' to Unepic that will eventually head to Wii U.

"Right now I'm working on another project using the engine and gameplay Unepic based in a futuristic environment. As of Warcraft to Starcraft, or Terraria to Starbound.
In this new project I will try to improve the parts that have more limped Unepic. So This new project that is not a Unepic 2 but the "brother Unepic" (which still has no name)., using the same engine as Unepic, would on the same platforms including the Wii U. "

NL: Are you still planning regular DLC after launch, and if so what sort of content will this be?

HB: There will be vanity DLC, like new ships. Being gamers ourselves, DLC that is required to beat a game already purchased infuriates us; thus, we won't be doing that.

NL: Do you have an estimated release window yet?

HB: There is currently no release window set.
