  • “The action is relentless right up until the campaign’s thrilling conclusion” The disappointing sighs from the legions of PC-playing Battlefield fans was practically audible when EA declared that Battlefield: Bad Company would be a console exclusive. Two years on, with the promise that Bad Company 2 wouldn’t just be a console...

  • “SupCom 2 will make you feel like you can take on the world with units to spare.” It would appear that the actor Nolan North gets everywhere nowadays. Not content with starring in practically every major game under the sun last year, he’s back again voicing a key character in one...

  • “Each choice you make helps dictate which one of the 21 endings you’ll see” There’s no greater word to describe Acquire’s latest feudal Japan-‘em-up than ‘peculiar’. It’s a title full of conflicting values as modern game design collides with antiquated traditionalism; as the whiff of liberty offered by the game’s sandbox...

  • “Sumo Digital has done a wonderful job at capturing the spirit of the SEGA universe” Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing isn’t a Mario Kart beater. It isn’t even as good as Naughty Dog’s Crash Team Racing or our particular PS1 kart racing fave, Speed Freaks. But then, to be honest, you...

List of upcoming titles to watch out before they hit the shelves.

Singularity

Publisher: Activision
ETA: Q1 2010

Singularity

The manipulation of time may not be an entirely unique concept (even Ratchet & Clank are getting in on the action this month), but nonetheless, Raven's Singularity follows the adventures of US Air Force pilot Nate Renko, who's sent in to investigate the island's spooky goings-on before stumbling across the Time Manipulation Device. It may not have a creative bone in its body, but from what we've played, Singularity promises o be an engaging title akin to BioShock.

James Cameron's Avatar

Publisher: Ubisoft | ETA: December

Avatar

It should come as no surprise to learn that cinema's big Christmas hit is getting the videogame treatment, but don't give up hope yet, as we're hoping for another impressive King Kong-esque videogame translation from Ubi for James Cameron's latest. Coming complete with support for stereoscopic 3D, it should also be quite the visual treat too- provided you've got the setup, of course!


The Old Republic

Publisher: LucasArts | ETA: 2010

The Old Republic

BioWare finally unveiled the Jedi class this month and unsurprisingly it looked absolutely awesome! There's nothing in the universe as empowering as a lightsaber and we finally get to wield on in an MMO, with a whole range of Force powers also on hand. Get your ridiculous whooshing sounds at the ready!


Red Dead Redemption

Publisher: Rockstar | ETA: TBA 2010

Red Dead Redemption

Another of this year's Christmas casualties, Read Dead Redemption's now set to go toe-to-toe with the rest of 2009'a rejects. Using GTA IV's RAGE engine, RDR features an impressive open-world set in the Old West. There'll be gun-slinging, horse riding and - no doubt - plenty of train robbing when Red Dead makes its next-gen debut next year.


Star Trek Online

Publisher: LucasArts | ETA: 2010

Star Trek Online

Happy days for Cryptic. Aside from announcing that their other MMOG Champions Online has reached one million characters, Star Trek Online has entered the crucial phase of closed beta testing. No release date has been announced, although serves look set to go live before April 2010.


I Am Alive

Publisher: Ubisoft
ETA: 2010

I Am Alive

Oh the irony. Having already been passed from one development studio to another, I Am Alive's latest delay is a worrying sign that Ubisoft's survival-adventure may be struggling to keep its own head above water. Originally due earlier this year, we're not getting our hopes up for seeing IAA any time soon, but if it does ever make it out, we can be sure of a unique gaming experience as we fight for survival on the destroyed city streets of Chicago following an horrific earthquake.
