Battlezone: Combat Commander remasters FPS-RTS classic Battlezone II with new visuals, new achievements, Steam Workshop support and more. The solar system is at war. Take command.
Take a magical journey back in time to CREATE your own fantasy retail business. Starting from scratch with a few shelves and limited stock availability, plan your displays and price your wares competitively to attract the most customers.
DEVELOP your business by working out the perfect product selection to keep your customers returning. Setting prices too high will attract the most theft but too low and you will be out of business in a puff of smoke. Putting in products pitched at the perfect price is key to surviving in this rough, tough trade.
As your business skills improve and the profits begin to roll in then EMPLOY staff in the form of helper bots, fantasy computerised-robots who can zap thieves, restock shelves and keep the shop looking spick and span as you focus on business expansion. Unlock a champion in the skill tree and send them off to procure new items suitable to the business.
BEWARE and be prepared to handle the crime-loving, hardened Barbarians who will be more likely to invade your business if you are successful -- handling them can be a job in itself. Arm yourself against a Barbarian invasion with magic spells and your trusty sword and be prepared for the devastation a visit from them will cause.
Expand and BUILD your business as in real-life by looking for new opportunities. Why not open an inn to offer refreshments for customers after a busy day's shopping and monopolise the medieval mall.
Be part of a new Fear Effect adventure with Fear Effect Sedna, a new game in the classic series made popular on the original PlayStation console. With a whole new story, and shifting to a pausable real-time tactical action style, players will be able to control the team strategically and tackle enemies and puzzles alike.
Fear Effect Sedna is set four years after the events of the original Fear Effect game, and things have changed for the team. Hana, freed from the Triad, lives with Rain in Hong Kong and works as an occasional mercenary, while Deke has grown apart from them since Glas returned to the US.
Hana accepts a small mission for a shadowy organization asking for her services. Her target: a mysterious ancient statuette held by the Chinese ambassador in France. She sees it as a good opportunity to visit her birthplace... But this 'easy' mission is about to lead Hana to something way bigger than she expected.
Meanwhile Glas is approached by a client who catches his attention enough that he soon sets out for Greenland.
How will these events bring the old team back together?
Fear Effect Sedna is dedicated to recreating the atmosphere and characters from the original Fear Effect. However, while there are familiar aspects of the game to previous incarnations of the franchise, you'll find yourself immersed in a completely unique and new world with Fear Effect Sedna - one that will appeal to fans both old and new.
Features:
* New environments in isometric view: Explore the deep caves of Greenland, abandoned scientific complexes, underwater stations and ethereal realms based on Inuit mythology.
* A real-time tactical action game: Exploit your heroes' special abilities and combine them to maximize your team's effectiveness in attacks.
* A deep and mature story: Learn more about Fear Effect's iconic characters' past as they delve into this new mystery.
* Explore a whole new culture: Myths from the Inuit people are imbued with power of the elements and the cold sea. Meet and fight unexpected creatures from the spirit realm!

Xbox Insider Spotlight: How Your Feedback Guides Preview Updates
As we mentioned in our “Best of 2017” post nearly two months ago, one of our biggest goals in the past year has been recognizing our Xbox Insiders for everything you do! Every one of you has helped shape the Xbox One console, services and game library by participating in the Xbox Insider Program. Last summer, we began rewarding actionable bug reports with XP, and now we want to double down on these efforts by highlighting the ways in which you impacted our recent 1802 Preview, specifically in regards to “Next Achievements” and “Scheduled Themes.”
Scheduled Themes
We announced this feature as part of the 1802 Preview last month, mentioning that “you asked, and we listened.” That’s right: Scheduled Themes were a product of Xbox Insider feedback we received back in September when the Light Theme became available on Xbox One.
Here’s some of the feedback that guided us, and we’ve made sure to attribute it to the Xbox Insiders who took the time to provide it:
“Maybe be able to set a timer. The light theme is very intense at night and it would be nice to be able to automatically switch from light to dark or vice versa during a certain time.”- E Mc Sq
“I’d like to see an option to automatically switch between Dark and Light themes based on the local time set in the Xbox One (with the correct time zone).” – lightsup55
As of now, this feature has not yet been released to our general audience, giving us more time to look into your feedback.
Next Achievements
The Next Achievements feature, which allows Xbox One users to view and sort a cross-games list of upcoming Achievements, was also influenced by its time in Preview. Specifically, the option to hide certain games and Achievements from the list was implemented after our teams received Xbox Insider feedback such as:
“I hid some games with 0 Gamerscore, but the Achievements showed up on the list. They should have been hidden.” – McLustig
“[We should] be able to hide Achievements from the list.” – Prewow
As always, we appreciate your feedback! Keep taking our system update and game-based Quests and Surveys, and we’ll keep listening.
Jump Aboard This Enormous ‘Absolutely Ridable Lapras’ Pokémon Toy
Poké-fans may well lovingly remember the huge Snorlax plush from a couple of years back which could double up as a bed if you wished, instantly becoming one of the must-have items of the time, and now we have another one to join the crew, too.
Introducing the wonderfully named ‘Absolutely Ridable Lapras’:
The Absolutely Ridable Lapras plush stands at 117cm tall by 115cm wide and, as you can see from the images above, Bandai has promised fans that people of all ages can now fulfil their childhood dream of riding on Lapras, just like Ash in the anime.
If you’d like to get your hands, and entire body, on your very own Lapras, you can pre-order one here. It is scheduled to start shipping in July 2018, can only be shipped within Japan, and will cost 79,400 yen (approximately a staggering £540 / $750).
So, is anyone else forgetting about this month’s rent to snag an absolutely ginormous Lapras? Let us know down below.
