Deep Silver today revealed more details on the upcoming action game Ride to Hell: Route 666. In the real-time tactics beat’em up, players will beef up their pack of road warriors, provide them with the right gear, and take them to the streets in a merciless battle for every mile of the legendary Route 66. The trip starts this summer, when the game is scheduled to hit PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade and Steam.
Tactics are essential when up against a colorful cast of enemies. Players will be able to bark orders at their fearless gang members to bring them into the right formation on-the-fly with easy, accessible controls. Clever tactics will be rewarded, opening up enemy defenses and allowing you to get in on the action: as the leader of this lawless bunch, you can support your warriors at the front line or issue instructions from the back. Pick up and play action controls allow the players to get involved in the fight at any time. You’ll also be recruiting new members to join your gang, with each one bringing their own special abilities to a fight, from big bad bruisers to sultry medics.
Ride to Hell: Route 666 is set within the Ride to Hell universe, a world of bare-knuckle violence, and rip-roaring motorcycles. Later this year the setting will be extended by two further titles featuring the biker lifestyle; Ride to Hell: Retribution and Ride to Hell: Beatdown.

Spicy Horse Games today revealed its next project is a collectible card game/RTS set in the Underworld with the working title Hell Invaders.
Hell Invaders features actual card battles – rather than two cards “fighting” on a table, the creatures within the cards actually have 3D representations that fight it out – as well as cards that sport upgrades and swappable skills, so even cards for the same creature can be completely different.
Players can battle it out in a single player campaign or take up cards and fight in PVP arenas. For more peacefully inclined souls, trading, card management and other social features provide ways to enjoy eternal damnation.
Hell Invaders is currently scheduled for a Fall release on PC. Spicy Horse will reveal more on Hell Invaders, including the final title and publisher, in the upcoming months.
