Miscreated - A new take on the DayZ & Rust theme using CryENGINE 3

With all the post-apocalyptic games available like DayZ, Rust, and WarZ and the hopefully soon to be released H1Z1, you'd be crazy to think there could be no more to come. And sure enough along comes Miscreated by Entrada Interactive, which is a new online survival based mmo using CryENGINE 3! Miscreated also features zombie like creatures (which are mutants) and other humans which can be friendly or bandits, but not to worry as you can scavenge for resources and build bases for defence, just like in Rust. It will be interesting to see if this game can compete with the best of them, but going by the engine being used this could be a winner. Entrada Interactive are hoping for a Steam Greenlight success, so check out the video and if the game interests you, give it a vote!

About a week a go, the anti-cheat software Punkbuster was added to WarZ. This was to combat the terrible cheating state that this Zombie online Apocalypse game was in.
