Two-person studio Vlambeer has made a name for itself with tight arcade-y games like Super Crate Box, Radical Fishing and Serious Sam: The Random Encounter, and it seems set to continue that streak across PC and consoles with Luftrausers. The sequel to free 2D dogfight 'em up Luftrauser sends you into the skies in a plane of your own design to destroy oodles of enemy planes and ships, because something something they're naughty.
Unknown Worlds still won't say quite when Natural Selection 2's supposedly "imminent" release will be, the FPS-RTS must be approaching as the final big content patch for the pre-order beta is about to stomp out. Oh yes, stomp out indeed, as it adds a mighty exosuit for the marines to go all Starship Troopers, along with a map inspired by the classic NS_Veil.
Steam and Indie Royale have both launched new bundles, highlighting a heaping handful of games.
I chat with indie developer Aaron Foster about crafting Routine, Lunar Software's upcoming survival-horror, first-person roguelike set on a desolate Moon base.

Valve yesterday launched a new update adding in-game pennants for fans to show their support for their favourite professional teams, and maybe scoop some unique items too.
Lead designer Stone Librande sheds a little more light on the ways you and your friends can work together, or against each other, in the upcoming SimCity.
Diablo 3 director Jay Wilson has issued a public apology for his remark about former Blizzard member Dave Brevik, after Brevik's comments about the game led to some team members insulting him.
Closure developer Eyebrow Interactive has been really quite quiet about Indie Game Challenge-winning puzzle-platformer's PC and Mac edition, casually mentioning it every now and then on Facebook. So it's fitting, then, that the announcement that it'll be released via Steam on September 7 came from someone else, Edmund McMillen.
