GUILD WARS 2
Guild Wars 2 will feature a number of new playable races besides humans, including the Charr, Norn, Asura and Sylvari. The most noticeable difference from the original series will be the added freedom of player avatars to move in three dimensions, the lack of which feature was often criticized in the original games. It will have updated graphics, and will continue the original Guild Wars tradition of no subscription fees. Players will be able to jump over obstacles or off ledges, instead of being constrained by invisible barriers.
Players of the current Guild Wars campaigns and the expansion will be allowed to "port" achievements obtained in the original series into the Guild Wars 2 universe via the "Hall of Monuments" found in the Eye of the North expansion. Player characters will not be transferable from the original trilogy.
Guild Wars 2 will draw from the game mechanics that made the original Guild Wars one of the most popular online games ever and will add a fully persistent world.

Tags: Classic and TV Shows, Wii and PS3 Video Games, Latest Mobile PhonesTIME CRISIS 4 now on PS3
One major change is the addition of the multi-screen/multi-hiding system, introduced in Time Crisis: Project Titan. Unlike Project Titan (which players went on the offensive), players are placed on the defensive. In Project Titan, players had to hide and shoot arrows to switch screens. Screen switching has been refined to allow the player to point the gun outside the screen to move around.
Time Crisis 4 also utilizes a new light gun control with infrared emitters. Prior to this, all Namco light gun games used gun controllers that relied on cathode ray timing. Because Namco's light guns with cathode ray timing utilized memory chip-to-lens pointing, the arcade cabinet designers had to ensure that the infrared-emitting light gun controllers would provide the same accuracy as their cathode ray timing-based gun provided in the past. This delayed the game's release given past accuracy issues with IR light guns.
Time Crisis 4 also refines the multiple weapon system introduced in Time Crisis 3, by encouraging strategic use of the additional weapons.[original research?] The game also features a voice navigation system that guides players through different situations. Given the voice navigation system, the game can be voiced either in Japanese or English. Prior to Time Crisis 4, the game was voiced exclusively in English.
The player can choose to customize gun calibration and/or turn the blowback on or off with a pre-game code explained in the cabinet. Time Crisis 4, like its predecessors, is available either in a 29" standard twin cabinet or a 52" deluxe twin.SOURCE
PLAYSTATION 3 RELEASE:
Time Crisis returns, this time to the PlayStation 3! In Time Crisis 4, two VSSE agents must battle a new terrorist cell, with Terror Bites insects ready to dominate the world! Use the new GunCon 3 peripheral to blast them all! Time Crisis 4 introduces a new first-person shooting mode, configuring the arcade formula exclusively for home play! Get ready for the Crisis!
Namco has confirmed a Sony Playstation 3 conversion of the game to be released sometime near the end of 2007 (sometime in 2008 for certain areas) and will only be available with the GunCon 3. The Playstation 3 edition will feature 16:9 widescreen support and a specially-programmed first-person shooter mode, which players engage combat similar to a typical FPS game, but with manual gun pointing, aiming and firing in addition to arcade mode. Players will play as Captain William Rush and through the game's 15 stand-alone FPS levels, uncover footage not seen in the arcades.Source

It was first announced that a game would be bundled with the Wii Zapper by Reggie Fils-Aime, President of Nintendo of America, on July 11, during Nintendo's E3 2007 media briefing. Such a game was not revealed as Link's Crossbow Training until the GameStop Expo in September, and was officially announced by Nintendo on September 10, 2007.
Game modesLink's Crossbow Training features 27 playable levels, and the goal in each is to achieve the highest score possible within the time limit. These levels are divided into three main gameplay styles:
Target shooting — In Target Shooting levels, players fire their crossbow at targets, which start stationary, but move as the difficulty increases in later modes. Hitting the centre of the bullseye earns more points, and the points earned multiplies if the player hits multiple targets without missing.
Defender — In Defender levels, players remain stationary, whilst retaining the ability to shoot and aim in 360°.
Ranger — In Ranger levels, the player assumes complete control over Link (via using the control stick on the Nunchuk attachment), in levels including a siege on enemy encampments, and fighting through a forest.
Link's Crossbow Training supports a multiplayer mode, where players compete for the highest score.

The two escape and Snake makes his way to a communications base, where he attempts to contact his old CO, Major Zero. Instead, he is greeted by his old FOX comrades Para-Medic and Sigint, who reveal that Snake and Zero are being accused of instigating the revolt and that the only way for Snake to clear their name is to find and apprehend the leader of the rebellion, Gene. To complicate matters, Gene has also convinced most of the Russian soldiers stationed on the base to join their side by simply taking over the chain of command of a former Red Army unit, that was secretly stationed inside the Colombian territory.

New Killer Instinct a "Joke"
Being given the absence of announcement Rare developer as well as its Microsoft owner and probable exit of Xbox 360 to the end of the year, one can reasonably think that if the rumour were confirmed the exit of Killer Instinct 3 does not come before a few months even a few years on the new console of Microsoft.
Indeed, as you can see it on these screens of Grabbed By The Ghoulies, a jacket Xbox de Killer Instinct 3 appears on the rack. Information crossed with the discovery by German gamers of logo KI of the mention "Is back" in a demonstration of Conker.
Business to be thus followed...
But we do not pack too quickly for the moment, because no advertisement official was still made by rare. However a person who work for Nintendo declared that Killer Instinct 3 was in preparation in the buildings of rare, and that the play must remained most secret. If the play must remained secret, why this person reveals with the press specialized of such information. Thus for the moment it is only one rumour nothing moreover, but according to this same person one will know some much more before the end of the year. I think that so rare a statement official it must make will be in the neighbourhoods of E3.
According to it pointed Raretopia recently, the three people nail the ones in charge of the saga Killer Instinct at the moment are involved in other projects, and they do not have intention to please leave them in a new delivery of the fight game. Chris Tilston is now after Perfect Dark Zero, Mark Betteridge worked in Conker's Bad Fur Day and Kevin Bayliss walked after StarFox Adventures. This does not mean, as Rare recognizes, that is not going to have a Killer Instinct 3 in the future..Visit Site for more Info.
Last week we reported a rumor that an in-store Conker: Live and Reloaded demo contains a reference to a potential new Killer Instinct game.
Today, a Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that this is only "a joke" -- this makes sense, as humor is a big part of the Conker experience. Unfortunately, the spokesperson was unable to confirm if the previous KI games were also jokes, as in retrospect this seems likely....Click here for Comments

BlackSite: Area 51
BlackSite: Area 51 is a next-gen video game and the sequel to the game Area 51. The game is currently set to be released for PS3,PC , and Xbox 360 on November 5, 2007. It is currently being developed by Midway Austin and published by Midway which are the developers and publishers of the original Area 51. A demo of the game was released via Xbox Live Marketplace on May 11, 2007. A demo is yet to be announced for the PC and PS3. Here, the player plays as Aeran Pierce, a Special Forces operative faced against hordes of alien forces with his squad.
Currently, the game is using Midway's modified Unreal 3 engine that is being designedfor Stranglehold. Allowing for more life like graphics and effects, such as having rain bounce off of your current weapon. The game will run in 30 frames per second. Many destructible objects will be featured, but most of the environment will not be alterable. In the demo, the sign next to where the player begins is shot, one of the AI squad members will say "Yeah, I hate those prices too." This is hopefully one of the examples of interactivity between the landscape, you and the AI.
The setting of the game is around the eponymous secret military research facility in Nevada. Currently, modern day fears come to life in a familiar yet completely extraordinary setting: A small American town which is now swarming with alien life. The government is desperate to keep the secrets that are so terrible that they can no longer be kept from anyone. Everything now depends on the action of Aeran Pierce, a Delta Force soldier sent into one of the most explosive moments in American history.
This game is an attractive and intense 1st person shooter following on from the previous Area 51. The player will assume the role of Aeran Pierce who has been tasked on different things since arriving in Rachel, Nevada. There are different stages in the area, although the 1st stage is alien-free and the only enemies are rebels in Iraq.
One of the features of the game is squad tactics. For example, the player can order one of it's teammates to move on a location or to attack a certain enemy. Throughout the course of the game, there are times when the player will ride on a vehicle controlling its gun.
Video Gameplay:
Most of the vehicle scenario will pit the player on defending a location from attacks. The game will also feature a morale system for each member of Aeran's team. For example, if the squad is not performing well in battle and is losing or taking a lot of damage from the enemy, the player's squad will start to lose morale which will start to decrease their ability in fighting, lessening their damage and the chances they will hit a target. Also, if the squad has a very low morale, they would possibly rather run away from battle. In other words, if the squad is performing well in battle, they will gain morale increasing their fighting ability, enhancing their damage and defense. Also, the squad will be much more accurate on hitting an enemy and the chances of them on fighting enemies head on will increase.
Aside from the M4 carbine and MK23 handgun featured in the demo, the FGM-148 Javelin missile launcher and the sniper variant of the canceled XM8 assault rifle are the only other weapons confirmed for the game. Factor 5 confirms that the player will be able to use weapons of the Reborn on later stages. Also, the player will be able to move during cinematic events much like Half-Life 2.
