In what’s apparently the latest game industry victim of a down economy, Big Download reports that, according to its sources, Austin, Texas-based publisher Aspyr has laid off more than 50 percent of its employees. Though you likely recognize the Aspyr name from its PC-to-Mac ports, the company recently published the Call of Duty Classic port on XBLA and PSN, as well as Fighting Fantasy and Treasure World on DS.
We’ve been in contact with Aspyr in attempt to clarify the situation over there. We’ll keep you posted.

Those who were hoping to hear savory details about Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness Episode 3 during the Penny Arcade Expo (how appropriate!) are about to have said hopes dashed upon the rocks. During our recent interview with the comic’s creators, Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik, we learned that no news regarding the game will come during the duo’s Seattle-based gaming community event.
There’s a reason for the game’s non-appearance during PAX — but Holkins and Krahulik were tight-lipped about what that reason is. Krahulik teased, “When you hear the announcement, you’ll be like ‘oooooh.’ It’ll make sense.” Holkins articulately added, “You’ll feel vigor in all of your limbs.” We’re fairly certain that’s a good thing.

So this is kinda confusing, try to roll with us. Developer Reality Pump announced that it’s working on Two Worlds II, due this winter. Only … it had already announced a sequel to Oblivion-esque FPS RPG called Two Worlds: The Temptation. We’re pretty sure the team just decided to go with the number instead of the subtitle, but we guess we’ll never know. (OK, so the story’s a bit weirder than we thought.)
Set two years after the original, TW II promises “completely overhauled AI and balancing standards, experienced authors, [an] active combat system and the brand-new engine.” Here’s hoping the changes can make the sequel not so … you know … wretched?
