Described as a “turn-based close combat strategy game,” Tactics puts players in control of a four-person Special Forces squad in combat situations inspired by the other games in the series. The developer added another game to its 2013 lineup earlier this week, with ArmA 3 and the standalone version of DayZ to be joined by the strategy game, ArmA Tactics, one of the first confirmed titles for the Shield. * ArmA dev Bohemia Interactive is apparently a fan of NVIDIA’s Project Shield mobile gaming device. The list of games is pretty much what you’d expect Bethesda to trot out for sale: all three latter-day Elder Scrolls games ( Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim), Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Rage, and Dishonored. The publisher revealed earlier this week that the soundtracks from seven of its games are available for purchase on Apple’s music store. * Bethesda Softworks is officially on iTunes. He explained that the iPhone maker’s ridiculous market share coupled with its increasing number of steps in the direction of the living room are cause for worry, in a speech given at the University of Texas’ Lyndon B. * Valve boss Gabe Newell turned some heads earlier this week when he expressed his belief that the biggest threat to the success of the company’s Steam Box initiative isn’t from Microsoft and Sony gaming consoles, but rather from Apple.

That’s less than half the time that it took for Angry Birds Space, the previous record holder, to reach the same sales figure (that one took 35 days). Developer Imangi had reason to celebrate earlier this week when the sequel to the wildly popular endless runner racked up a record-setting 50 million downloads in 13 days, making it the fastest-growing mobile game yet. * Temple Run 2 has sprinted its way into the record books.
