Time for another brand new IP from an unknown developer that everybody is going to ignore!The Scourge Projectis a new third-person shooter from Spanish studio Tragnarion Studios. Tragnarion’s previous work includes the iPhone gameMap My Mindand … not a lot else. Despite the studio’s untested status,The Scourge Projectisn’t looking too bad at the moment.

So as it turns out, none of us on staff know exactly whatTronis. As far as I know, most of us have never watched the original movie. We know it has something to do with people getting transported into a videogame and racing motorcycles. So it’s like theMatrix, except on older hardware. So yeah. That’sTron, I guess. I know, I’m sorry. I’m going to watch the original film one of these days....

I was introduced to a developer through a friend and he was able to sneak some pretty good Wii U shots....

1 vs. 100seemed to have been popular, but ultimately unsuccessful, and eventually canceled. Microsoft’s next shot at an episodic Xbox Live title? Poker. A tipster sent over a confidential (oops!) beta invite she had received, which detailed a title calledFull House Poker. The game is said to have regularly scheduled episodes, with players earning XP and chips for their personal bankroll. No word on when the game will come out of beta, as it hasn’t even officially been announced yet....
