My column this past weekend included a preview of the CPL event going on in Dallas this Thursday through Sunday.

Part of the festivities at the CPL event will include the first official preview of a game called Severity, which is being developed by Dallas outfit Escalation Studios for the CPL.

Basically, it's an FPS built solely for use in professional tournaments.

Tom Mustaine, co-founder of Escalation Studios, sent me some concept art recently for Severity, which you can see at the top of this post. Check it out, and head out to the CPL this week for a more extensive look at the new game.
