A good match in Bad Company 2 is a much bigger deal than it is in most shooters. With so many players, so much action, and so many variables, the epic level of combat on display is unparalleled. If you’re willing to put in the effort, it will reward you with countless memorable moments.

Square Enix recently released a massive Just Cause 2 demo that contains 30 minutes of over the top explosions and mental stunts. Is it worth half an hour of your time though?

Deadly Premonition: review

Offer Deadly Premonition your patience, and it will reward you again and again. It’s rare that a game is this funny or self-aware. It’s campy and corny, with a mix of genuinely good humor and awkward, unintentional hilarity. This is somehow balanced with characters you’ll like and a murder mystery that’s truly worth solving.

The best PoP game of the last generation, and arguably the best of the series to date, was Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Sumptuous visuals, perfectly judged sound design, an enthralling story that even managed to avoid a ‘happily ever after’ ending, and smooth as silk acrobatics and combat. Judging by the gameplay footage seen here, Forgotten Sands should be closer to that game than any of the others.

Guns, fist fights and Italians. All of the components that we can expect to encounter a lot of in 2K’s Mafia II which has been in production for what seems like a painfully long time.

Winterbottom is a nearly perfect little game. It aspires to be everything you could hope for in a downloadable game: intelligent, artistic, charming, and polished.

Bioshock 2 does what we all wanted from the original and fixes you inside the lumbering, stompy boots of the Big Daddy. You have the tools, the sounds and the responsibilities that made the gentle, yet fearsomely deadly giants great.

“Fantasy worlds are, of course, very appealing, but I think players are hungry for something different and new – never mind that it’s sort of strange to equate “different and new” with “the modern day real world” but hey, that’s my favourite setting and I’m happy we’re the first to do it.

Even if you haven’t seen any, chances are you’ve at least heard of one of the Aliens or Predator movies or maybe even the ones where they crossed paths. They’ve also been involved in a number of games too and Rebellion, who already have a few under their belt, have taken another stab at perfecting the mix of xenomorphic creatures, hyper advanced hunters and squishy moving targets.
