The Starship Damrey released in Europe
Level-5 have today announced the release of The Starship Damrey, a sci-fi adventure game for the 3DS. This was first announced as coming westward in the last Nintendo Direct, and places players into a rather odd role. Placed aboard a starship, the player is simply dropped into the game and are left to work out who they are and why they’re there. If done well, that could be very effective, especially since The Starship Damrey has an almost horror-like vibe…

Arkham Origins Teaser Trailer Released
The point of a teaser trailer is to get the audience excited about something while saying absolutely nothing about that title. This teaser for Arkham Origins fits the latter part of that description perfectly. At forty seconds long, the first ten seconds are of various splash screens, and the last twenty seconds are about as lively. The short gap between these two sets of logos is filled with a fight scene that tells us absolutely nothing about the game that we didn't already know.

EA will no longer use Online Pass
They started it and now they're ending it. First introduced in 2010 and originally intended to be exclusively for EA games, the online pass has grown into a quick and easy way for developers to make money from used titles. In an attempt to capitalize on the used market, EA introduced the online pass which forced players to pay up if they wished to have access to the online features of a game they'd bought second hand. Some weren't too happy with this new feature, particularly those strapped for cash and unable to buy a game brand new at full price.

New Final Fantasy XIV Screens Released
Square Enix have today released a fresh batch of screens for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Showing off some beautiful landscapes, you can tell XIV is a Final Fantasy game regardless of its MMO-status. If nothing else comes of A Realm Reborn and it releases to another round of "meh," at least those who enjoyed the original release and are looking to continue supporting Square will have some nice things to look at.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown Coming to PlayStation Plus?
EU PlayStation Plus members may be getting something a little more strategy-based over the coming months, maybe as soon as in the July content update. As an IP that’s spent quite a while out of the limelight, it would make sense to expose as many people to the XCOM franchise as possible before 2K start pushing The Bureau towards its August release date, and releasing Enemy Unknown through the Plus service would be a great way to accomplish that. It…
