Left 4 Dead who now? No one was expecting Valve’s next game to be a
sequel to 2008’s awesome co-op zombie shooter, Left 4 Dead. To answer
your immediate question: Yes, this is a completely new game, with new
characters, in a new location, with new zombies, new weapons, new
twists, and an improved Director, in five completely new campaigns set
in the Southern United States. This isn’t more maps for the previous
game, it’s a brand new game, and it’s due this November. We snuck into
Valve HQ ahead of Monday’s announcement and played a full campaign, and
at first glance much appears to have evolved.
It’s still Left 4 Dead: Valve have more sense than to change
anything that made the first game so splendid. Rather the focus on L4D2
appears to have been the desire by everyone involved in the first game
to make something bigger and better. Coming off the back of the
project, we were told by various Valve developers, people we bursting
with ideas of where to take the game next. So they went right there.

Truth is written in blood...
Not much has been released so far, but PanGamers.com has the scoop!
Delve deeper into the secret society of assassins with the sequel to the blockbuster action-adventure game.
While not much is known of the plot yet, it has been confirmed that the player will assume the role of a nobleman and assassin named Ezio Auditore de Firenze. Like Altair from the first game, Ezio is an ancestor of Desmond Miles, the modern assassin that has been captured by Abstergo Industries. Ezio is a young noble who lost his family to rival families.
He is shown to have dual assassin's blades. The game is set to take place in Renaissance Italy, during the Carnival of Venice in the year 1476, which is 285 years after the first game. Like the characters in Assassin's Creed, historical figures will be present in the game including Leonardo da Vinci, Machiavelli, Caterina Sforza, and Lorenzo de' Medici.
Locations mentioned thus far as being included in the game are Venice, Florence, the Tuscan countryside and Rome. Specific landmarks include St Mark's Basilica, the Grand Canal, the Little Canal, and the Rialto Bridge.

The Battlefield franchise started as a successful PC franchise but has recently found a comfortable home on the current generation of consoles as well. After the successful launch of Battlefield: Bad Company, Electronic Arts and DICE are gearing up for a sequel that promises more destruction, gunfire, and online mayhem than you can shake a stick at.
I recently got a look at an early version of the game, due out this winter. Though we'll have to wait until E3 to see what the multiplayer modes have to offer, the first showing of Bad Company 2 literally shook the room.

 Street Fighter IV is a gorgeous and entertaining brawler that anyone can play. Instead of rebooting the franchise, Capcom tweaked the familiar 2-D Street Fighter II formula and fused it with beautiful 3-D graphics, making it instantly likeable to older fans who want the controls and action they've loved and new gamers in search of visual nirvana. Although it features overused modes that appear in other fighters, Arcade and Versus will have you throwing fireballs until you wear out the controller.
What's here is a wonderful mix of old and new. Street Fighter IV's 25-person roster includes series mainstays Ryu, Chun-Li, Ken and Blanka, as well as newcomers El Fuerte, Crimson Viper and the overweight Rufus. No matter whom you choose, the combat is immediately accessible and addictive.

 Project Origin is both a sequel and a fresh beginning for the F.E.A.R. series. While it will continue the story of its predecessor, it promises to be more action-oriented thanks to an increase in outdoor environments. Certainly, the addition of mech-based combat is a new direction for the series, even if it isn't for developer Monolith, which has produced large-scale games in the past. We got a chance to look at an updated build of Project Origin today when Warner Bros. popped into the office, and the publisher was kind enough to tell us about where it's hoping to take the game when it's released in the first quarter of 2009 Click on 'Read More...' for further info. |

 Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the most technically stunning video game ever made. It's also a fine example of storytelling prowess within its medium, combining gameplay and narrative so slickly and beautifully that it's impossible to extricate one from the other.
It's likely you will emerge awestruck from your first play-through, wishing the experience would continue yet nonetheless satisfied with its conclusion. It's difficult not to sound hyperbolic when discussing MGS4 because every part of its design seemingly fulfills its vision, without compromise. There is no halfway.

The goal of BattleGroup-Frontlines is to shift the players of
Battlefield 2 back to the Second World War.
BattleGroup-Frontlines will
feature an extremely authentic atmosphere.
Features include:
- Historically accurate vehicles, aircraft, and weapons
- Realistic and accurate sounds
- Realistic weapon aiming aiming and firing physics
- Famous battlefields
The team's goal of realism is an ambitious one, with the need of
incorporating accurate striking powers and ranges of weapons.
Naturally, a few things will need to be amended for the sake of quality
gameplay, but with realism still held to the highest standard. We
believe that it is possible to incorporate both incredible realism and
exciting gameplay, and BattleGroup-Frontlines will achieve that balance.
In BattleGroup-Frontlines, you are given the option of playing as one
of several great nations: Great Britain, the German Reich, America, and
Russia. Smaller countries will also be involved, but not as the primary
players. Besides well-known battlefields such as Stalingrad and
Normandy, one will be able to assist in the defence of Stalingrad with
a Polish 7Tp or assist in the fight in Normandy with a Char B.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare introduces a variety of game play styles into the single player campaign completely new to the Call of Duty series.
The game moves away from the standard three country-specific campaign style, and allows the plot to play through more like a film style plot with interlaced story lines from the perspective of the player as Paul Jackson, a member of the United States Marine Corps 1st Force Recon and Soap MacTavish, a member of the British 22nd SAS Regiment. There is also a variety of cameo-style missions where you play as various other soldiers such as an AC-130 Spectre Gunship gunner, or as one part of a two-man sniper team behind enemy lines in a flashback style mission.
The multiplayer mode in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare includes a class system which has five preset classes with default weapon load outs and perks assigned to them, as well as allows users to create five custom classes where the user can customize their weapon load out and three perks to assign to their soldier. The five default classes include Assault, Special Ops, Light Machine Gunner, Demolitions, and Sniper. Only two of the default classes are available to a first time player; the rest are unlocked as the player gains more experience online and gains higher rank. Create-a-class can be unlocked at level 4; players can name and save their own custom classes for quick access in multiplayer matches.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare focuses on the variation of modern warfare as an infantry soldier by allowing the player to control soldiers in a vast number of different scenarios, straying away from the constant "at eleven" action of previous Call of Duty titles and allowing for both heavy intensity fire fights and slower paced drama styled intensity. The series' move to modern warfare has also introduced a variety of new modern weapons and technology to be introduced to the Call of Duty franchise. Such showcased weapons and attachments include M203 grenade launchers, and the AN/PEQ-2 Target Pointer for use in conjunction with night vision goggles, silenced MP5SD submachine guns, and the FGM-148 Javelin portable anti-tank guided missile among many others.
