Magicka: Wizard Wars exited beta this week, so spell-slingers are free to bash, burn, and blast each other in full on combat. Given the competitive nature of Wizard Wars, it's hard to believe that the whole Magicka phenomenon began with a cooperative game where "accidentally" blowing up your friends is a big game feature. This week, we spotlight the original Magicka.
Magicka: Wizard Wars will be launching later his month, and to celebrate, Paradox Interactive has released an 80s-montage style trailer for the free-to-play PvP game.
Do your worst at Displacement Ridge. Just make sure you don't actually displace any of your own limbs.

Magicka has gotten a new piece of DLC, which only costs $1. 50% of the proceeds go to Japan relief if you buy before June 5, and you'll get a new Team Fortress 2 hat to boot.
Arrowhead Studios is bringing two Challenge Maps to Magicka, and letting fans vote on which of the two will be available for free. The losing map will be offered for $2.
Steam is offering 50% off Magicka to celebrate the launch of its wacky Vietnam add-on, while BioShock and BioShock 2 are only $4.99 apiece.
Magicka's wonderfully unexpected Vietnam War DLC is due to launch on April 12 at the price of $4.99, it was announced today.
The wizardly action-RPG is astonishingly headed to Nam, it was revealed today, with a remarkable rendition of Surfin' Bird.
