ROUND-UP

7. Wasteland 3
   Release date: 19 May

Five years after Wasteland 2 took home our sister

publication PCWorld’s Game of the Year prize, the

sequel’s almost ready. What we’ve played so far

seemed very cold, with the Desert Rangers trading

out sweltering Arizona for the frozen wastes of post-

apocalyptic Colorado. It’s still very much Wasteland

though, with satisfying turn-based combat and skill

checks galore. And given InXile’s track record, I’m

sure the writing will be solid. My only hope is that the

Microsoft acquisition gave InXile time not only to add

more content but to polish what was already there. I

don’t want to wait for the inevitable Director’s Cut this

time to get the game as InXile originally intended it.
