New Alien: Isolation DLC Tells Dr Lingard’s Story

Publisher Sega has begun to roll out the second downloadable mission pack for Alien: Isolation.

The DLC, entitled Trauma, offers a trio of new maps for Survival Mode; a single-player challenge where players must dash through custom-built locations as quickly as possible whilst being hunted.

The first Survival Mode DLC offered one map, called Basement, which GameSpot's video team described as "beyond scary." Now, the latest DLC comes with a trio of maps to scramble through (Reoperation, Crawl Space, and Overrun).

Trauma also puts players in the role of chief medical officer Dr Lingard, a character who is "racked with guilt and feeling responsible for bringing the creature on board."

Developer Creative Assembly writes: “Wanting to ensure that her research on the creature can never fall into the wrong hands, Lingard sets out to destroy all the data and do as much as she can to help the remaining survivors."

A video run-through of the Trauma mode can be found above.

Classic ’80s Console ZX Spectrum Reborn

Sir Clive Sinclair, the revered inventor and entrepreneur who launched a range of seminal home computers in the 1980s, has backed a new project to revive the ZX Spectrum brand.

His team's new invention is the Sinclair Spectrum Vega; a microconsole that comes with more than 1,000 ZX Spectrum games pre-installed. Resplendent with a familiar aesthetic, the Vega is a miniaturised version of the ZX Spectrum that is both a games controller and console in one.

Once hooked to television sets, the device is capable of running more than the 14,000 games developed during the Spectrum era.

Its creators, a UK firm called Retro Computers, seek £100,000 from the crowdfunding site Indiegogo to help commercialise the project and build the first 1,000 units.

Sinclair Research, the company responsible for the 1982 original, is a shareholder in Retro Computers.

Some 21 hours since the project launched, Retro Computers has raised about £6,800 of total funding. It will need to raise the remaining £93,000 within the next sixty days.

A ten percent royalty of Vega sales will go to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.
