Microsoft PC free-to-play  Age of Empires Online game is a strange thing to see the change of developers, a former developer Ensemble Robot Entertainment opens the door to Chris Taylor’s Gas Powered Games.

Robot Entertainment president, said Patrick Hudson colleagues at the change of PC Gamer developer “has always been the plan” from the beginning.

He said: “We always planned to deploy online age in February 2011, we worked with GPG since last fall about the transition, we really enjoyed working with Microsoft and we know that they are in good hands with Chris and. Gas Powered Games team.

“Robot was founded to work on original IP, but working with AoE was a great way to get the company off the ground. The plan was always to move to original IP as soon as we had the ability focus on our core business goal.”

Hudson conceded that the change in devs mid-way through the project is “unusual”, but argued that AoEO has evolved into a “platform for a lot of content”.

“We developed the game and the first two civilizations, the Egyptians and the Greeks, and GPG is taking it from there. That was always the plan when we started the company,” he said.

“We are now working on shipping our first original game, Orcs and Die announce further projects we have in the works in the near future is ours!. We’ll keep it forever.”

The people at Telltale Games have been a good day today. First, Episode 1, back to the Future: The game is sold on the iPod. Episode 2 of the game was released for PC and Mac versions and now, as rumored, confirmed that Telltale Games will develop a new game based on the popular series The Walking Dead comic book was recently adapted for a television mini-series AMC.

AllThingsD reports that Telltale Games is working on The Walking Dead video game and it’s just the latest big franchise that Telltale has snagged. They got the rights for Back to the Future and Jurassic Park from NBC Universal last year. Telltale produces high-quality adventure games (think old-school point-and-click) that are distributed only digitally and aren’t sold in brick and mortar stores.

Telltale Games has big things planned for The Walking Dead. They told AllThingsD that they believe it could sell 1 million digital copies sold, a first for them. They added that they believe that The Walking Dead game could become a “$20 million to 30 million franchises“. Telltale Games currently only sell about 200,000 units, according to what they told AllThingsD.

No word on how a zombie game that the work of Telltale Games. Usually, because zombies running, shooting and screaming – maybe not the best for adventure game point and click. Games Telltale representatives said that their next game Jurassic Park is a different style of game titles from their usual – and you have to imagine that everything they do in Jurassic Park used to be The Walking Dead (if n is only conjecture on my part).

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?
The fourth Red Faction. You are Darius Mason, grand-son of Alec Mason Red Faction: Guerrilla. Darius unconsciously triggers a threat to the planet Mars and the people must live in hiding. Now he must save humanity by defeating an attack by aliens, cult members.

WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT IT?
The Magnet Gun enables you to rip out parts of the wall and bring it down on top of people. It allows you to fling your enemies into the air. The Singularity Cannon lets you open up black holes, ripping stuff into them, and then blowing it back out. Real time and unscripted, everything breaks differently each time.

AND YOU CAN ALSO REPAIR ANYTHING YOU’VE DESTROYED?
The weapons you’re going to use will destroy stuff, but you can repair it. You can do that how you like. You can even use it defensively to keep rebuilding the walls so your enemies cannot get to you. Red Faction: Armageddon offers you opportunities in combat that you’re not going to see in many other games.

SO EACH PERSON WILL PLAY DIFFERENTLY?
When you use weapons that allow you to blow things apart, split in two buildings, ripping off chunks and put things in the piece, the symphony of all sounds a little different because of how they use these tools and which ones they are concentrated.

Upcoming PC title Two Worlds II was to begin tomorrow in the UK. This launch has been delayed until late February, but after the ship carrying all games have a little problem.

“We just received container from China with Collector’s Edition and other components, and they are devastated,” a representative of the game’s publisher said Topware gaming site Eurogamer.

“Several components were just a total wreck and unacceptable for us to give out to our fans. We are printing some of these in Europe now and the boxes are being air freighted from China.”

“I cannot believe this but it is really happening!”

Since the boxes were not made of glass, we can only guess that either the ship survived the perfect storm or somebody forgot to line the crates with old newspaper!

Two Worlds II, scheduled for release on February 4, now on 25 February. Unless the truck to explode, or of the press and the place was overtaken by locusts.
