Only one month to go before we can meet again with major Shepard and his turian friend the warrior Garrus in their space adventures. Following to the first episode, this Mass Effect 2 will thus send you straight back into space to achieve new missions in an even nicer and smoother game than its predecessor. Still conceived by Bioware’s Canadian team, this role playing game with a strong focus on action will be available on PC and Xbox 360 by the end of January. Beware dear terrestrials … the Normandy and his crew will soon need your help!
Long-considered as a reference as far as football videogames are concerned, Pro Evolution Soccer saga was beaten off in the past few years by main competitor Fifa. Hence, the Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 wishes to reverse the deal and gain back PES’ initial credibility to avoid being once more considered as “not as good as Fifa”. To do so, Konami has decided to revise upwards all graphics (finally worth of HD consoles), rework on the game play compared with the previous episode, and to adapt the artificial intelligence to ongoing game phases. Available on PS2, PS3, 360, PSP, PC and Wii, this new simulation now leaves it to virtual soccer fanatics’ decision!
This clearly arcade-looking racing game (sorry for simulation fans) called Split/Second, definitely isn’t for girls! Developed by Black Rock Studios for PC, 360 and PS3, the game will put you into a reality TV show where your task is to survive…and finish first, whatever it takes! To do so, you will be aloud to put spokes in your enemies’ wheels by bumping into their car or dangerously changing the track (when rushing into the various settings for example), no holds barred. Expected during 2010’s second semester, Split/Second promises to be perfectly de-emphasizing!
Sam Fisher is a little worked up as he kind of got stabbed in the back: indeed, he is wrongly accused of murder and has to escape from his former employee who is determined to blame him and have him sent to jail. This 5th adventure of the spying and infiltration pro called Splinter Cell – Conviction is due in February for Xbox and PC. The demo won’t be coming out before January but in the meantime you can always take a look at the collector edition’s package (including a Sam’s figurine with it). Ubisoft promises for this latest chapter of the well-known saga a radical change: more action and less infiltration. As usual, let’s just wait up till its coming out to get a clearer idea of the announced changes!
