The Switch train pulled into the station this morning, and it's brought some choice passengers along.

If you like getting a lot of good games for bugger all (and RPGs are your thing), you'll be very happy with the latest Humble Bundle.

There's plenty of discounts and bundles going around. The latest to join that list: Humble's most recent Jumbo offering.

Crowdfunding fatigue? Nope, that doesn't appear to be a thing at all. inXile Entertainment's Fig campaign for Wasteland 3 has smashed its target of $US2.75 million in a little over 72 hours and with 26 days remaining, will almost certainly claim several of its stretch goals.

Fresh off the success of Wasteland 2, developer inXile is making a direct sequel, announcing today plans to release Wasteland 3 for PC, Mac, Linux, PS4 and Xbox One.

Alien Wasteland is a rudimentary looking first-person-shooter made by a single person. It looks pretty darn different from Wasteland 2, the gritty strategy game from inXile Entertainment. Nonetheless, the developer behind Alien Wasteland was recently issued a cease and desist from the creators of Wasteland 2.

Since Wasteland 2's came out in September 2014, there's been a mystery no one can solve. It involves a computer with a red button. When players press it, the ground shakes. No one knows what happens after that. Were the developers trolling everyone or was there more to the story? There is, and I have answers.

Briefly: Wasteland 2 is getting a slew of upgrades on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, but inXile's revealed PC, Mac and Linux owners will get those upgrades for free. The game will be getting updated graphics, new voice overs, gameplay tweaks and more.

An increasing number of games are being built using Unity (including the writer's own Deadnaut), thanks to the flexibility and power it provides, as well as simplifying the process of developing for multiple platforms. The next version of the middleware, 5.0, is just around the corner and inXile is already in the process of upgrading Wasteland 2 to use the new tech.

"Forsaken by his people, he strode into the wasteland," the narrator intones in the intro to Fallout 2. 16 years later, and creator Brian Fargo has delivered that promise anew in a very literal way: by making Wasteland 2, a spiritual successor to his Fallout games that's also a... sequel to their predecessor.

Wasteland 2 comes out today, and the question on many an OG CRPG gamer's mind is: "How does it compare to Fallout?" I'll have a fuller answer to that soon, but there's an elephant in the room that must be addressed first. Come on, Brian Fargo: where is my Ron Perlman?

Video: I played through Fallout 1 and 2 multiple times, but didn't like the squad based complexity of Fallout Tactics. So this latest trailer for Wasteland 2 is bad news for me. The trailer spends several minutes explaining the seemingly infinite options in designing a squad, only to then show how a poorly designed squad will instantly be cut to pieces in the game. It's almost designed to scare players away.

There's been plenty of gloom cast over Kickstarter recently, so let's focus on the good things: like how crowdfunding ended Brain Fargo's 20 year run of Wasteland 2 rejection.

"There was this one moment in Fallout 3, when I came across a prisoner at some raider camp," I said. "She was still tied up, but all the raiders were gone. Maybe they were dead or something, I don't know. The game gave me a choice: I could take her supplies and leave her there, or set her free."

In a world with horse armour DLC, things that game companies sell as additional content never surprises me -- but it's probably a bad sign that I clicked this particular button half expecting the "Red Boots DLC" to be real, huh?

Kickstarter just let the world know that it has pulled in more than $US1 billion dollars for thousands of crowdfunding projects since the company launched. And the category that raked in the most cash? Games, once again, to the tune of $US215.75 million.

It raised a lot of cash during its Kickstarter campaign. Then Wasteland 2 got delayed because of all that money. But, rest assured, the sequel to the classic RPG is coming. And a new video gives a substantial glimpse at what the gameplay will look like. Get ready for clicking, folks.

Wasteland 2 sure is looking nice. Here's a lengthy demo of a level from the game, which gives a good sense of a bunch of the different systems and encounters and how they all fit together.

Wasteland 2, like Double Fine's adventure game, is one of Kickstarter's greatest video game project successes. And, like Double Fine's adventure game, it's also run into a snag because, well, we just gave it too darn much money.
