Inside Line has taken Mercedes-Benz in an adventurous convoy in Australian desert facing washboard roads, insects, snakes, dead camels and heinous heat.

The washboard dirt tracks made short work of the AMG’s Bilstein rear shocks, forcing mechanics to pull the pieces altogether for one short stint before replacements could be flown in. Likewise, the spare tire carrier and both side-view mirrors suffered cracks along the way.

Game developer ISOTX today announced the release of the final extensive game expansion for the real time strategy mod MidEast Crisis 2. The update includes the addition of an entirely new faction: the UN Peacekeepers, a complete overhaul of the game website and new game maps.

New faction

The UN Peacekeepers have a wide range of units at their disposal, including the M1A3 Abrams tank, medibots (the latest in medical technology), the mighty Brummbar supertank, the Requiem (an advanced tactical bomber), F-35s, and the Comanche attack helicopter.

Although the UN Peacekeeper units are state-of-the-art, they are also very expensive. As a result, the UN forces are often outnumbered on the battlefield by the other factions. But rest assured, these highly trained units can easily stand their ground in hostile situations. The UN Peacekeepers play quite differently to the other factions, being well suited to a more defensive style of play.

Yesterday, the new adventure game from Pendulo Studios, today unveiled a series of 4 new images! After having left its mark in adventure gaming with its million-selling trilogy Runaway and more recently with The Next BIG Thing, Pendulo has now given up comedy for once and is offering an original and dark thriller.

The images offered today unveiled the amnesiac John Yesterday, one of the three playable characters from the game, who is struggling with his past. These images also are the opportunity to realize that if the tone of the game is more serious and the atmosphere a little darker than its previous productions, Pendulo has not lost its extraordinary artistic touch, infusing Yesterday a remarkable identity. Discover all of this today through these four exclusive images!
