Civ 5 goes to space

Civilization is taking flight on October 18th. Developer Firaxis has finally announced an official release date for Civilization: Beyond Earth, the first sci-fi game in the long-running strategy series, which was previously pegged for a fall release. While the game retains the same basic concept as previous Civilization games — you're building up a society over the course of many years — Beyond Earth will have you doing that on a brand-new planet, as you deal with new alien life and incredible new technology. "This is definitely a game that takes its influences from real science and hard science fiction," lead designers Will Miller and David McDonough told The Verge when the game was first announced. Civilization: Beyond Earth will be coming to Windows, Mac, and Linux.

The forgotten consoles

History is written by the victors, but for all those generations of console wars we've managed to weather through, what about the other guys? Opening this week, a new games museum in southern Japan houses 56 different consoles of varying fame (or infamy). For every NES/Famicom, there are curiosities like the huge "Pocket Home PC," failing on the very definition of its name. Remember the Sega Game 1000? We didn't, but we should probably cut these (mostly) beige consoles some slack. While most of the devices toured here weren't a commercial success, each helped gently push gaming toward its current state -- if only by firmly demonstrating what we didn't want. And yeah, we wish the Dreamcast was still around too. Here's to the games consoles we've loved and lost over the last 40 years.

LEGO Lord of the Rings

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, TT Games and The LEGO Group Rebuild Middle-earth Brick by Brick with LEGO® The Lord of the Rings™

Join the Fellowship and Experience the The Lord of the Rings Trilogy As Never Before in the Latest Family-Friendly LEGO® Videogame Adventure

BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Explore Middle-earth in an epic and thrilling LEGO videogame adventure for the entire family! Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, TT Games and The LEGO Group today announced LEGO® The Lord of the Rings™, the latest addition to the wildly successful LEGO videogame series that brings to life the legendary fantasy saga by J.R.R. Tolkien. The game will be available for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 system, the Wii™ system, the Nintendo DS™ hand-held system, the Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system, PlayStation®Vita system and PC in fall 2012.

LEGO The Lord of the Rings is based on The Lord of the Rings motion picture trilogy and follows the original storylines of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Now the entire family can team up in pairs as adorable LEGO The Lord the Rings minifigures to experience countless dangers, solve riddles and battle formidable foes on their journey to Mount Doom.

"We are huge aficionados of The Lord of the Rings franchise and are incredibly excited to put our special LEGO family-friendly touch on this classic fantasy adventure," said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games. "We've taken what fans are familiar with and love about The Lord of the Rings films and combined it with the playful LEGO style, which makes the story and gameplay accessible to gamers of all ages."

LEGO The Lord of the Rings takes players along on the adventures of Frodo Baggins and his unlikely fellowship as they set out on a perilous journey to destroy The One Ring and save Middle-earth. Kids, tweens, teens and parents can traverse the Misty Mountains, explore the Mines of Moria, knock on the Black Gate of Mordor, and partake in epic battles with Orcs, Uruk-hai, the Balrog and other fearsome foes while harnessing the humor and imagination of LEGO gameplay to solve puzzles and explore Middle-earth. Players will take on the form of their favorite members of the fellowship – Frodo the Hobbit, Aragorn the Ranger, Gandalf the Wizard, Legolas the Elf, Gimli the Dwarf, Boromir a Man of Gondor, and Frodo's Hobbit friends Sam, Merry and Pippin – as they relive the most momentous events from the films.

Razor Artemis Controller

For those of you who have played Mechwarrior on the computer before, surely you remembered those awesome moments where polygons came together, as well as wireframe designs to help you see your opponent better? Some of us had to make do with a mouse and keyboard combination, but how about those who were privileged enough to own a joystick? That certainly helped make the Mechwarrior experience a whole lot more complete. Well, fast forward to today, and we have the Razer Artemis concept controller which is meant to cater for the upcoming MechWarrior Online title.

LEGO LOTR

Lord Of The Rings' LEGO Video Game Coming Summer 2012

Earlier this year we learned that LEGO was releasing a line of Lord of the Rings toys. Now LEGO has confirmed rumors of a Lord of the Rings video game.

LEGO has already released quite a few titles. LEGO Star Wars is probably the most popular of these. It was only a matter of timer before Lord of the Rings got its own game.

Details are very sparse at the moment. Will keep updating as we go.

Retro Lunch Hour

Back in the day, two things were for certain during our youth: Nintendo reigned supreme, and cool lunch boxes were the shit. This recent design found on Etsy combines both of these childhood staples into one awesome lunch container. The Nintendo Entertainment System Lunch Box was created with a suitcase handle and interior line in vinyl tape. Unfortunately currently out of stock online, hit the thumbs for a detailed look at the Nintendo Lunch Box. [DesignYouTrust]
