For those desperately in need of voxels, the alernative graphic to polygons, your thirst will be quenched soon. The cubes in[ *Cube World* ](http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/10/22/cube-world-still-in-development-next-update-coming-along-nicely/?utm%5Fsource=fb&utm%5Fmedium=emp)are dividing and mutating like candy-colored cancer. (i.e. update soon!)

*Stalker* the game was loosely based on *Stalker* the movie that was loosely based on Boris Strugatsky’s novel *Roadside Picnic*, which has [a new translation](http://io9.com/5908702/a-new-translation-of-the-one-russian-science-fiction-novel-you-absolutely-must-read?ref=killscreen.com). Three degrees of seperation, but woth a shot.

Continuing the tradition of computer games in grade school, an educational version of *SimCity* is coming to the school house. Teachers, consider yourself warned: your class is likely to revolt over digital rights management issues.

A nugget of voice-acting news from [the AMA with the *The Stanley Parable* guys](http://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1p095a/we%5Fare%5Fthe%5Fdesigners%5Fand%5Fnarrator%5Fof%5Fthe%5Fstanley/?ref=killscreen.com),

> We’re thinking about \[adding\] a Dota 2 announcer.

That is all.

Before [*Gone Home*](http://frictionalgames.blogspot.se/2013/10/gone-home-amnesia-edition.html?ref=killscreen.com) was an acclaimed first-person house hunter about young love, it was a mod of the terrifying *Amnesia: The Dark Descent.* Small world.

We say it every week, but THIS is the best idea ever.

[Internet cafes are on the wane in China](http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/202990/Net%5Fcafes%5Ffalling%5Fout%5Fof%5Ffavor%5Famong%5FChinese%5Fplayers.php?ref=killscreen.com) as more players prefer to play their MMOs at home. Maybe [this](http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-10-22/heavy-smog-shuts-downs-schools-in-northern-chinese-city?ref=killscreen.com) has something to do with it.

The release of [*Candy Box 2*](http://www.polygon.com/2013/10/23/4948036/browser-based-clicker-candy-box-2-launches-tomorrow?ref=killscreen.com) is both good news and bad news for us. On one hand, it’s great the game is getting a sequel, but what are we supposed to do with 56,771,255,670 lollipops?
