No, that’s not a typo. Welcome to the Weekly Warp-Up, your weekly wrap-up of the biggest and the best articles posted at Warp Zoned this week…
The biggest news from this week is that Blizzard finally dropped the axe on Project Titan and StarCraft: Ghost. The former would have been Blizzard’s MMO followup to World of Warcraft and the latter would have been a stealth/action game set within the StarCraft universe. Both games had their problems over the years as Blizzard originally delayed Titan’s release more or less indefinitely last year and Ghost was put “on hold” in 2006. But now they’ve both gone to that big GameStop in the sky, giving Blizzard more time to work on Hearthstone and their other projects.
Also this week, Mike Ryan turned in a review of The Walking Dead Season 2: Amid the Ruins, the fourth episode of Telltale’s retelling of the popular comic book series.
