Playback: Week in Review

GT goes global, what titles scored in '98, and the next game from Cyan. Here's what made headlines this week.

Comments

Most of the big news this week came from our console gaming friends on the other side of the aisle. Still, there were a few noteworthy blips on the PC game horizon.

GT Interactive extended its reach, this time internationally. It bought British developer Reflections Interactive. Reflections is the company behind Demolition Derby. This acquisition is the latest effort of GT to diversify itself and become something larger than just "that game company from New York."

PC Data issued its list of top-selling PC games for 1998 (through November, that is). Blizzard is all over the map with Starcraft and Diablo, And Cyan checks in with two winners as well – Myst and Riven.

We've got the latest word from a key member of Dynamix' Tribes team. Read what the dev team was shooting for in this latest effort.

And back to Cyan…the group evidently isn't satisfied with two games in the list of top sellers. It's hard at work on their next project. Cyan posted a single piece of what's got to called a piece of very impressionistic art from the new title. Have a look yourselves – and have a great holiday weekend.
