General News - Miscellaneous Submissions

I don't usually do this but a handful of submissions have come in that might not fit our usual coverage, so I'll collect them here.

• wiretripped points out that X: Rebirth has been announced. While the X series aren't RPGs, we've always had a small community following them (and, hey, they're among my favourite games). Here's some info and a trailer at GamePro.
• Sticking with the space theme, Von Paulus notes a space-based "action/RPG/strategy" game at GamersGate called Shattered Origins: Guardians of Unity. The features don't reveal much but it might be worth a look.
• Ben sends word of a dungeon crawl/roguelike based on the UK radio show, Golden Age. I'm not aware of the show but if you lke free roguelikes with a classic anime look, check it out.

More information.

http://www.shatteredorigins.com/ Found the site with some Googling…seems to have snuck on there unawares a bit earlier…

Ah, there's a demo - that makes it easier.

I like these "Miscellaneous Submissions"

Hmmm… Shattered origins looks promising. I've been hankering for decent space sim since Freelancer - a long long long time! I've bought 2 of the X series and been disappointed with both. I'm intrigued by the new X game since they say it will be more user friendly, but I'm a little shy because of the previous experiences.

I'm glad these newsbits were posted!
