STORM [PSX Saturn: Cancelled, but released on PC]

S.T.O.R.M. is a cancelled side-scrolling action game that was in development by Virtual Studio in 1996, for the original Playstation and Saturn. From the look of the few screens preserved (only one seems in-game, the others are probably from a FMV), the game was set in an under-water scenario. There are not much more info on the project, it would have been published by American Softwork but something went wrong during the development and STORM was never finished.

Thanks to Pachuka and Celine for the contributions! Scans from EGM #83, CD Consoles #8 and #19.

UPDATE: Thanks to hydr0x, we found out that STORM was released for PC!

[PC] Fallen Empire: Legions – Open Beta Test

Fallen Empire: Legions is an upcoming sci-fi first-person shooter (FPS) computer game by GarageGames. The GarageGames team is made of up many key members from Dynamix, the developers of Starsiege: Tribes and Tribes 2. Announced officially in January of 2007, Legions is being developed as a “spiritual successor” to Tribes, lending many gameplay elements from the series, while aiming into a new direction. The key selling point of the game, like in Tribes, is the jetpack system, allowing the player to travel in all directions. A February trailer states “freedom of movement returns. 2008.”.

The open beta for the game is started a couple of days ago. If you want to “beta test” the game, there’s a “hidden” email address on their website (This one: [email protected]), if you send them a blank e-mail, you will get an automatic answer with the confirmation code to join the beta test! Good luck and dont play too much.
