Silent Hill: Homecoming
November 29, 2008
I was eagerly awaiting the latest installment in the Silent Hill series, hoping to get back that familiar feeling of fear that only the eerie universe of Silent Hill can produce. A new developer means the game has taken a different path and while a new approach is not always a good thing, it seems that "Double Helix Games" has done a good job of making a game that can stand up to its predecessors and is worthy of the name Silent Hill 5.  [...]

Tom Clancy's EndWar
November 28, 2008
Yet again Tom Clancy "brings war" upon us, this time in a future not so distant. The year is 2020 and World War III is fought by U.S. Joint Strike Force, European Enforcers Corps and Russian Spetsnaz Guards Brigade. Who will prevail?  [...]

Tomb Raider Underworld
November 28, 2008
Lara Croft is back in a new adventure, a new costume, a new motorcycle and with much more sex-appeal in the new installment in Tomb Raider series Underworld. For the third time, Crystal Dynamics brought back to life the so popular franchise Tomb Raider with its emblematic figure Mrs Lara Croft , and this time in a big style.  [...]

MotorStorm: Pacific Rift
October 22, 2008
MotorStorm was one of the few exclusive PS3 games, that had a really big success at the official launch of PS3 in US and Europe. Later sold also as a bonus product for the bundle PS3 packages, MotorStorm succeeded in creating a big fan-base especially after Sony introduced downloadable content in the first version of Playstation Network. MotorStorm: Pacific Rift is the sequel to this successful franchise considered by many as MotorStorm 2. Still developed by Evolution Studios and using a modified version of the first Motorstorm graphical engine, Pacific Rift is scheduled to be released on 28 October 2008 in North America, and later for the rest of the world.  [...]

Motorm4x
October 16, 2008
Developed by former guys from Illusion Softworks (known for Mafia), MOTORM4X is a mixture of 1NSANE and Screamer 4x4. Keeping in mind these were off-road racing games, MOTORM4X follows the same idea, featuring non-linear events (similar to GTA concept) and a physics engine that might excel even Baja: Edge of Control.  [...]

PT Boats: Knights of the Sea
October 3, 2008
I was among the lucky few who got the chance of playing the demo version of the highly anticipated title from Akella: "PT Boats: Knights of the Sea", and I must say this naval combat simulator has all the assets needed to become the next big thing in the genre industry. The dazzling graphics, complex yet accessible gameplay, real life inspired scenarios and the unique flavor of a maritime confrontation all in the background of the ever intriguing World War 2 concur in creating a game of huge potential.  [...]
