Paradox Interactive are proud to officially reveal that Dreamlords Resurrection, a Free-to-Play fantasy based Massively Multiplayer Online Real-Time Strategy game for the PC, is to be the first title released under the newly formed Paradox Connect brand.

Developed by Lockpick Entertainment and announced during the Paradox Interactive press conference at Gamescom 2010, Dreamlords Resurrection is a unique mix of two genres – the Real-Time Strategy (RTS) and the Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) - where the player takes on the role of a Dreamlord. Through a combination of both long term strategic planning as well as intense real-time battles, the Dreamlord must inspire and unite a small group of followers into a battle-ready army ready to conquer land, defend the populace against the Nightmares that roam the world, and band together with other newly awakened Dreamlords.

The inclusion of Cooperative Player-vs-Environment (PvE) play, allows for even greater intensity as players team up with a friend to launch an assault on the nightmares that haunt your people or attempt to slay one of the world bosses.

David Rosen, Chairman and Founder of Lockpick, commented “we’re excited to sign with Paradox Interactive. They have a long track record of successfully publishing strategy game titles and we feel confident that we have found our home for Dreamlords Resurrection, the latest sequel in the Dreamlords series.”

"Publishing Dreamlords: Resurrection not only gives Paradox Interactive the opportunity to release an MMO title with a perfect fit for our audience, but also to work closely with an experienced team in online gaming”, said Tom Söderlund, Project Lead for Paradox Connect.

The official Age of Empires website is taking beta sign ups right now for those of you that can't wait for the game to be released next year (2011). New features include a persistent world that continues to evolve even when you're not around and co-op and player-vs-player modes for multiplayer.

2 days from now Valve will be releasing Alien Swarm. Alien Swarm is a game and Source SDK release from a group of talented designers at Valve who were hired from the Mod community.

Available free of charge, the game thrusts players into an epic bug hunt featuring a unique blend of co-op play and squad-level tactics. With your friends, form a squad of four distinct IAF Marine classes. Plan your attack using an unlockable arsenal of weapons with countless loadout configurations against a wide variety of aliens. Blaze your way through an overrun, off-world colony, eradicating the alien infestation in environments ranging from the icy planet's surface, to a subterranean lava-flooded mining facility.
