Dealspwn writes: It's clearly built on Far Cry 3's DNA. Despite being a downloadable marketplace title destined for Steam, the PSN and XBLA, you'll explore an expansive patch of open world real estate, liberate garrisons, commandeer vehicles and hunt all manner of dangerous wildlife. But now, the whole thing has been punched up to 11... or should that be 1981. Instead of a displaced party boy, you play as Rex "Power" Colt, a Mark IV cyborg commando hammed up by none other than Aliens and Terminator star Michael Biehn. Rather than a lush paradise, we'll romp around a neon-soaked 80s blockbuster movie set, populated by an army of overblown extras wielding cheap props cobbled together from bits of old vacuum cleaner. And the wildlife? Enormous glowing dragons who shoot omega-lasers out of their eyes, and can be tamed to your advantage by feeding them the cybernetic hearts ripped from your fallen foes.

Dealspwn writes: Paul Cuisset is totally rebooting Flashback, and I'll give you a second to recover if you missed the news yesterday. Breathe. And relax. Since the timeless platformer is such a beloved piece of gaming history, genuinely tense and frightening in parts, seeing Conrad's struggle to regain his fractured memories get the shiny Unreal treatment is both exciting and horribly worrying. On the one hand, this new version is apparently the game that Cuisset always wanted to make, but simply couldn't due to the technological constraints of the early nineties - and he's back at the helm. On the other, he and VectorCell were also responsible for Amy.

Tracy Benson from ITF Gaming writes: first heard about Remember Me a while ago and I thought to myself that this is definitely a game to watch. A game to remember, if you will. Im sorry, I had to make one memory pun. Originally I watched some game play footage and, while it didnt give a way much about the story, the gameplay was very intriguing. So I didnt go in to my hands-on time with Remember Me with a clean slate, but what I saw blew the gameplay trailer out of the water Boom!

Much has been said about the unique control system in Scattered Entertainment's upcoming iOS shooter The Drowning. According to the game's developer, this fresh approach to finger-friendly controls will "completely redefine the first-person shooter for touch devices". Now, that's quite a claim. The basic idea is that you use a handful of familiar iPad gestures - like tapping and pinching - t...

Siliconera: "One of the centerpieces of last weeks Namco Bandai Global Gamers Day event was the official North American unveiling of Tales of Xillia. Much as it did last year in Japan, the English version will serve as the focal point of the 15th anniversary of the franchise in Western markets."

If there's one plot device that modern video game writers aren't shy about using, it's interdimensional rifts. These phenomenon are blissfully nonexistent in the real world, but they've become the standard, physics-defying glue that holds the plot of many crossover games together. Namco Bandai's upcoming western release of Project X Zone (prn. Project Cross Zone) is no exception to the inter...

GR-UK writes: "Grid 2 feels a midpoint between the arcade pleasure I've been used to since Outrun, and the sharper skills that a racer on the realism side of the road is born with. I still spend time staring at a barrier rather than the track in front of me, but not as much as with other games of the ilk. And more importantly, I start finding that illusive sweet spot when man and machine come together in the perfect racing line."

GR-UK writes:"Blood Dragon is both in-joke and love letter to that era. Your age and knowledge of that time period will impact how much you'll enjoy the concept built around the killing here. This is a single player, standalone digital release that uses Far Cry 3 as foundation for it's mechanics - and little else. This is more ode to the likes of Bionic Commando and John Carpenter's Escape from New York."

GR-UK writes: "It's a thought that must have struck the creators of Flashback as the perfect way to reintroduce the series, even if they know those who'll get the nod will only be a small percentage of the audience. It's a decision that's appreciated, as Flashback's new opening plays out much like the old."

STP: If youve played the mind-bending iPad game Wonderputt, then you know developer Damp Gnat has a unique way of looking at the world. Their next game is called iCycle. Its a side-scrolling platformer with about as much in common with other platformers as Wonderputt has with a real putt putt course. In other words, not much.
