Darkspore, the mutant offspring of Will Wright and Diablo, had a closed beta recently. They have since closed the closed beta, but now are opening the open beta! I know, it seems so intuitive.
Anno, the series of city-building/resource management sims, is getting a new entry. The last entry in the series, Anno 1404 (Known as Dawn of Discovery in North America), was quite well received in its own circles.

We haven’t reported too much on Konami‘s clever title, NeverDead, but I’ve been following it on my own time and I have to say that I am way, way excited. Basically, you are an immortal dude named Bryce Boltzmann and you get to fight demons. The cool part is that you can remove your own limbs in kooky manners slay said demons.
