Last week, Tripwire Interactive announced that on August 30th, 2011 players will have the opportunity to experience war in a whole new way with the release of Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad.

Two Tribes and Ronimo Games have partnered with the leading independent publisher Chillingo, a divison of EA, to bring the highly acclaimed indie hit Swords & Soldiers to the Apple App Store.

As the first season comes to a close, a new king rises in the North as Westeros seemingly starts to fracture back into seven separate kingdoms, and I died from sheer nerd excitement at finally seeing the number one scene I’ve been waiting for since episode one.

Ned makes a fateful decision that will have serious repercussions, while Arya and Sansa try to survive on their own in King’s Landing in vastly different ways. Robb pulls a sacrifice-heavy military move and ends up taking a prized prisoner. Across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys finds her reign, unborn child, and chance to take back the Iron Throne imperiled.

Having been caught schtupping the boss’s wife, Conan’s in need of a way out of town in a hurry and he finds it in the guise of two beautiful (like they could ever be ugly) sisters. Hijinks and adventure are sure to follow.

Making his debut in the show, Tywin Lannister explains to Jamie that the future of the Lannisters is at stake as they prepare for the battle that’s about to start between them and the Starks/Tullys. Robert comes back from his hunt injured and makes moves to ensure an orderly transition from his rule to his heir’s at King’s Landing.

Plutonian continues to make his way to the center of the Looney Bin Planet and we find out where Kaiden’s been this whole time. We also find out where Qubit and Modeus were heading to while doing all that big brain talking from last issue.

New content to Age of Conan will tie together the game and the upcoming movie, Conan the Barbarian. Set 20 years after the movie storyline, the new adventure pack will include, but is not limited to, content from the movie and will allow players to follow even more epic storylines in Conan’s realm.

Funcom has released a developer diary video for the hotly anticipated MMO The Secret World, delving a little into the story behind the game, as well as some of the unique missions players will encounter.

Age of Conan: Unrated promises to feature a hybrid business model that will allow players to roam the lands of Hyboria, either as free players or premium subscribers who will have access to extra content.
