March 13, 2015 — Etherium, the new real-time strategy game for PC from Tindalos Interactive, will release in two weeks, on March 25.
Anticipating the release, and following the previous gameplay video that offered a global overview of the game’s features, Etherium details its Conquest mode through a dedicated gameplay video.
In Conquest mode, a real galactic conquest awaits you. In this entirely non-linear mode, plan your tactics in turn-based, building invasion fleets, developing your technology tree to unlock new units and skills, spying on the enemy and sabotaging them, and ultimately invading their territories and planets in real-time strategy battles! You are free to decide how your conquests progress. Manage your resources, expand your colonies and extend your control of the map to assemble an army capable of crushing your opponents.
When invading an enemy planet or territory, you are sent to real-time strategy mode, where epic battles will ensue between formidable armies comprising numerous units: infantry, tanks, aircraft, and even gigantic colossi of war several dozens of meters high; real machines of destruction! Technological advancements made during turn-based view will let you use increasingly more powerful or specialized units: use scientific research to develop a tech tree enabling you to unlock new units and upgrades, access new structures to develop your colony and to use new special skills.
Etherium is currently available for pre-order with a 10% discount offer. The game will release on PC on March 25.

CARLSBAD, Calif. – Razer™, a world leader in connected devices and software for gamers, today announced the release of the new Razer Blade Pro laptop, a premier 17-inch gaming laptop and mobile studio for creative professionals.
Engineered with the all-new NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 960M GPU with 4GB GDDR5 VRAM, the new Razer Blade Pro is designed for extreme game play and professional work. An Intel® Core™ i7-4720HQ quad-core processor powers the computing functions of this portable multi-purpose laptop.
The new Razer Blade Pro also offers dual storage for higher speed and more capacity than its predecessor, featuring an SSD up to 512 GB and up to a 1 TB hard drive.
“The original Blade shifted the paradigm of mobile PC design and started the transition to gaming laptops being both portable and powerful,” says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO. “With the new Blade Pro, we’ve continued that heritage in a way that will push the envelope for gamers and creative professionals even further.”
The Razer Blade Pro’s performance is driven by the engineering principles of localized heating. This approach focuses on directing heat away from the main touch surfaces of the notebook, to areas that can dissipate heat quickly and are not commonly touched by the user. This allows the laptop to pack in the highest performance available with NVIDIA’s critically acclaimed GTX graphics.
With a 17.3-inch full-HD matte anti-glare display, the new Razer Blade Pro gives users the freedom to work and play without missing anything. At 0.88 inches thin and weighing only 6.76 pounds, the notebook delivers desktop-class performance without sacrificing portability. With an aluminum body, the Blade Pro is not only durable but is sleek, slim and light, all the way down to the compact power supply.
The Razer Blade Pro’s Switchblade User Interface (SBUI) is designed for a more efficient and intuitive experience for professionals and gamers. Featuring 10 customizable tactile keys and an LCD track pad to put additional tools at one’s fingertips, the SBUI makes gestures feel more natural and intuitive for editing, designing, and gaming.
The new Razer Blade Pro also includes a backlit anti-ghosting keyboard that registers simultaneous key presses with precision.

March 12, 2015 — Today Firefly Studios announced Space Colony: Steam Edition in London, with the first playable build on show at EGX Rezzed. Developed and self-published by Firefly, Space Colony: Steam Edition is a remaster of the original sci-fi base builder that expands the game with new missions and features. It will release exclusively on Steam in Q2 2015:
Fans of base builders, management sims and the closely-related Stronghold series can soon return to the world of Space Colony in HD. Faithful to the original game Space Colony: Steam Edition includes military and civilian campaigns with more than 80 missions in total, including brand new single player content. Steam Workshop functionality also has been added to the game’s map editor, allowing players to share custom maps with the Steam community. Fans can discover old favourites, upload new creations and even download whole new campaigns designed by the Space Colony community.
“As an indie dev self-publishing on Steam we’re in total control. That’s a daunting prospect but without Steam’s help, empowering developers like Firefly, this new release wouldn’t be happening.”, said Simon Bradbury, Creative Director of Firefly Studios. “Many of the original Space Colony team still work at Firefly and we’re all thrilled to see the game finally getting the exposure it deserves! I really hope players enjoy the new single player content and cool Steam features.”
Nearly twelve years after release, Space Colony: Steam Edition is more feature rich and visually enhanced than ever before. Created exclusively for Steam, this new remastered version will include Steam Achievements, Trading Cards, Steam Workshop support and Steam Cloud for saved games. Space Colony: Steam Edition is the definitive version for fans of the original and the Stronghold series, with which it shares DNA in both gameplay and an irreverent sense of humour. Also supported are new high resolution graphics settings, allowing players to view their entire colony while playing on a single screen.
