"The original game was just a tease... Gears of War 2 is an even bigger, better, and more badass experience... " Showcasing the new Unreal Engine 3, Epic Games screened a video of advances with rendering in-game lighting & dynamic shadows, and demonstrated improved physics for "destructible environments". Also shown was the ability of the engine to render in real-time massive swarms of attacking Locust enemies...

Continuing the heroic saga of Marcus Fenix & Delta Squad, as they fight to save humanity from the overwhelming onslaught of the alien Locust Horde, Gears of War 2 will be published by Microsoft Game Studios exclusively for the XBOX 360 console

Devil May Cry 4 on XBOX 360 & PS3

A Gothic fantasy fighter with stunning graphics & visual effects, Devil May Cry 4 is released today for the XBOX 360 & PlayStation 3... Long ago, the Dark Knight Sparda rebelled & waged a one-man war against the Demon King's army to save humanity... Thousands of years later, Devil May Cry 4 brings a new hero, the young Knight Nero: who witnesses Sparda's son, the legendary Dante, attack & kill the leader of the Sparda-worshipping "Order of the Sword". Nero is then commanded to bring demon-slayer Dante to justice, but all is not as it seems... While Devil May Cry 4 has a new lead, it retains the feel of previous DMC games: offering complex combat with swords, guns & supernatural powers. There's a little puzzle-solving, and lots of frantic fighting, with epic boss battles to end missions

Which Console for Christmas?

If you want a Nintendo Wii console, you really should have bought one already! It’s been nearly a year since the launch of the Wii, & again it's this Christmas' must-have present. While the Nintendo Wii is the least powerful of the current generation consoles, its innovative motion-sensing control system has contributed to the Wii console becoming more popular than even Nintendo had anticipated. High demand & limited supplies have caused retailers to experience stock shortages ever since the launch last December. Prices started to rise early this October, with several major retailers only selling the Wii console bundled with games. Amazon reported a recent delivery of 1,400 Wiis sold out within 10 minutes. The market for Wiis on eBay also looks set to match last year's frenzy of inflated pricing, with many sellers getting stock from elsewhere in Europe. Nintendo has said it is "doing everything possible" to keep up with demand, aiming to ship an extra 3.5 million consoles globally before Christmas...

During September, XBOX 360 overtook the Wii as the top-selling console that month, thanks to a major boost from the blockbuster game HALO 3 & recent release of the new 120GB XBOX 360 Elite. Microsoft’s XBOX 360 console may be the oldest of the "next-generation" consoles, but it’s still a powerful high-definition games machine, with a varied range of impressive titles to choose from, including exclusive bestsellers such as Gears of War, Forza Motorsport 2, Mass Effect & Bioshock. If you are comparing prices with the PlayStation 3 console you should consider the additional cost for XBOX 360 add-ons (HD DVD Player, Wi-Fi, etc.) and Xbox LIVE Membership fees. There's now 4 models of the XBOX 360 to choose from: the black 120GB XBOX 360 Elite, the chrome 20GB Premium Package & new Arcade Console, plus the green & gold 20GB HALO 3 Limited Edition

It’s been a confusing first year for the much-anticipated PlayStation 3 console, with a delayed launch & the rapidly discontinued 20GB & 60GB models. Sony's PlayStation 3 has the edge on the XBOX 360 with more power, better graphics potential & state-of-the-art gaming capabilities. It also has a high-definition Blu-ray Disc player and Wi-Fi built-in to the console. Now the price of the console is more competitive, 2008 should be the year when the big, black, shinny PlayStation 3 starts to challenge the competition. There are already many outstanding PS3 exclusive games - Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, Resistance: Fall of Man, MotorStorm, etc. - with more lined-up for the New Year. And, the virtual world of PlayStation Home is set to soon add a new dimension to interaction between console owners...

Blu-ray Discs Outselling HD DVD

The story so far: HD DVD format was launched by Toshiba in Japan on 31st March 2006. The first Samsung Blu-ray players went on sale in the US on 25th June 2006. Sony's PlayStation 3 Console with built-in Blu-ray player launched in Japan on 10th November 2006. Microsoft's HD DVD Player for XBOX 360 was released at the beginning of December 2006...

October 2007: Home Media Research released a report stating Blu-ray Disc movies have outsold rival HD DVD movie titles by an almost 2:1 ratio in the United States so far this year. While HD DVD player owners buy more movies, there are now 2.7 million US homes with a Blu-ray player (includes PlayStation 3 Console owners) compared to only 750,000 with HD DVD players

Today, the Blu-ray Disc Association issued a statement that Blu-ray movie sales have now exceeded a million in Europe & Blu-ray currently represents 73% of high-definition movie sales. In Europe, over 20 million Blu-ray Disc games for the PlayStation 3 Console have also been produced

Build the ultimate racing machine, then compete against world-class drivers on closed tracks in various game modes: Drag, Wheelie, Grip, Sector Shootout, Time Attack, Speed Challenge, Top Speed Run & Drift. You can choose to race cleanly or race rough: bumping, ramming, blocking, etc. With detailed photo-realistic graphics, more aggressive A.I. & an advanced physics engine, NfS: Pro Street also features damage modeling, with every dent & scratch displayed as a battle scar on your car...
