Random Wednesdays

Fortunately, BioShock Infinite coverage is dying down a bit, which makes this week’s load of Wednesday links easier to work through. There’s a profile of the voice actors for the Lutece Twins at Destructoid, as well as some coverage of another neat collectible that has been released.

Infinite’s sales held steady last week, but this week it was finally dethroned as the top-seller (in the UK at least) by Injustice: Gods Among Us.

And here are a few BioShock Infinite fan works worth highlighting: a concept of what Rapture might be like as an extreme tourism hotspot, a real-life voxphone, and a beautiful violin rendition of two pieces from the soundtrack.

Neverwinter is approaching its launch date, and Massively has kicked off a series of interviews in the run-up thereto. In the last week, we also got some information about crafting in the game, learned a bit about who will get early access to the game (and how), got a couple of previews, and were treated to some details (via video) about a location called Helms Hold.

Sandbox MMORPG ArcheAge may be released as a free-to-play title in China. No word on whether Trion Worlds is contemplating a similar monetization strategy.

Oh, and speaking of sandboxes…it would seem that the Storybricks team have been doing some work on EverQuest Next. Which is, apparently, exciting news.

Eurogamer recently got a preview of Deathfire, Guido Henkel’s new RPG.

Eidos Montreal, meanwhile, released a “behind the scenes” look at the Deus Ex: Human Revolution director’s cut for the Wii U.

And yes, there’s still yet more 38 Studios-related drama going on, with Curt Schilling calling the lawsuit being brought against the former studio “100% baseless”. The governor of Rhode Island, meanwhile, has weighed in on why the state didn’t “micromanage” the studio’s loan, essentially saying they had other problems to deal with, and implying that under better circumstances they would have been watching 38 like a hawk.

Don’t miss this seven-page missive on the whole debacle, if you’re still curious about it.

    I think your links in this paragraph might be broken?

    Schilling can believe anything he wants when he’s sitting in jail for not paying his bills that rapscallion.
