Games Cheats and Reviews

5th Cell hasn’t yet revealed the project that will follow Super Scribblenauts, but they have dropped one tantalizing tidbit.

“We’re not ready to reveal our next original game just yet, but I can say we’re using the Source Engine for it,” 5th Cell CEO Jeremiah Slaczka told Joystiq.

Slaczka wouldn’t say whether the engine will be used in the company’s unannounced XBLA project. No matter which platform the game it appears on though, 5th Cell could make good use of the Source Engine’s physics capabilities. The studio’s penchant for creative design brings to mind games like Garry’s Mod.

StarcraftWire.net has a review of the latest TOKYOPOP manga based on the award-winning RTS Game Starcraft. The first story in this manga, titled Homecoming, serves as a backstory on the main character marshal-turned-rebel Jim Raynor.

The story ties-in straight into the first mission in Mar Sara at the beginning of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty’s single player. The story written by no other than Blizzard Entertainment’s Senior VP of Creative Design Chris Metzen left a cliffhanger that might be exploited and come back to bite fans in the game. Mystery ensues. Did Jim Raynor’s son truly die?
