New ArmA 3 Screenshots

Bohemia Interactive has released – via their official ArmA 3 FB page – some new screenshots for their military sim FPS game.

ArmA 3 needs that little extra bit attention to detail and we hope that Bohemia will address it. Apart from that though, the game looks gorgeous. ArmA 3 is currently slated for a 2013 release on the PC. Enjoy! Continue reading New ArmA 3 Screenshots

Little is known about the reasons of it, but it seems that the word ‘Minecraft’ was enough to get this indie studio into trouble. According to Notch himself, this could be because Pixbits might have used the “minecraft” trademark somewhere in their game description. Seriously now? Getting into trouble for using the word “minecraft”? Seems the whole Bethesda thing had a – negative – impact on Mojang after all.
