We've been following Orc Attack since its announcement at the beginning of the year. A lighthearted and fantasy themed beat-em-up, it looks like good fun (especially with the addition of "Magic Mode"). The game is already in a playable state, but it looks like UK-based developer Casual Brothers are running low on funds. As such, they've turned to Kickstarter to seek the remaining funds needed to complete their multiplatform game.

A new piece of DLC is headed to your PC, PS3, or Xbox 360 soon, in the form of a couple new decks for Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013. (If there's a game in our database with a longer name, I'm not sure what it is.) These two new decks follow hot on the heels of the five released back in September. Tying into the paper Magic release of Return to Ravnica, the new decks are themed around two of the Ravnica guilds.
Halo 4 might be out right now and Bungie didn't have anything to do with it, but they are making some headlines in the news lately for their next project. The game is codenamed Destiny and it's their first title under a publishing agreement with Activision. Bungie has been working on the game since it split with Microsoft two years ago, and many thought it was going to be some sort of MMO hybrid. But that doesn't seem to be the case, the game is still a shooter, though it does expand on some concepts Bungie explored at the end of their Halo life-cycle.
