The next figure from ThreeA’s Team Fortress 2 lineup First there wasRobot Heavy, now there is Robot Pyro. Not much else to share here other than we have an idea of what the Robot Pyro fromTeam Fortress 2will look like in color. I certainly think they look better than the robotic Heavy, that’s for sure. But I still wouldn’t drop a dime on these. Remember, the Robot Heavy were going for just over $200....
Sega’s 3DS rhythm gameRhythm Thief & the Emperor’s Treasureis releasing in the US tomorrow, months after it appeared pretty much everywhere else. To be honest, the release date sorta surprised me. I had only just played the demo a couple days ago, in fact. Spoiler alert: it’s really fun. Sega has been pretty chummy with musical troupe Random Encounters Entertainment ever sinceNeedlemouse: The Musicalwas performed during theSonic Boomparty last E3. So it makes sense that the two would join forces again, appropriately for a littleRhythm Thiefpromotion....

Coming soon to Early Access Next week, yet another video game will be hitting Steam’s Early Access program. The culprit? A parkour joint by developer Gregor Panič, titledWelkin Road. The pitch is easy to comprehend. It’s a 3D freerunner set across multiple abstract setpieces. In other words, the best part ofMirror’s Edge— thePure Time TrialsDLC. In a refreshing change of pace, the tutorial doesn’t feel painfully remedial. At points, an exclamation prompt will pop up in the corner of the screen, and by pressing F1, new concepts (like wallrunning) present themselves....
