Battlefield: Bad Company (PS3)
Summary
Developer:
EA Games
Publisher:
EA Games
Heading out to the battlefield, it seems like common sense that there are certain people you'd want at your side, and others you wouldn't. You'd think folk with the title 'Bad Company' would fall into the latter. Electronic Arts and DICE don't care. They're chucking you in with some Baaaaadddd Company.
In Bad Company, the latest in EA's Battlefield series, players take up the gun of Preston Marlowe, a rookie in the 222nd Army battalion. As you might have guessed from the title, he knocks around with a crew of misfits, and these misfits aren't quite so interested in fighting the enemies of democracy as they are in finding a tasty payday. More specifically: gold. So, off you trot behind enemy lines in search of the shiny stuff.
What sets Bad Company apart from the rest of the crop of military shooters is the sheer destructability of everything. Walls and doors are no longer the barriers that they once were, and that's going to change the way that you play. Hiding behind a wall and taking pot shots at a tank isn't going to get you too far, because a couple of shots and it'll be gone. In fact, a whopping 90% of the game world is destructible.
The game comes with a robust multi-player offering, with 24 players able to pile in and make the mortar fly. It wouldn't really provide much company at all without multi-player, after all.
Let's face it, if you're going to fall in with a bad crowd, it might as well be a bad crowd with top-end military hardware.

Far Cry 2 (PlayStation 3)
Summary
Developer:
Ubisoft
Publisher:
Ubi Soft
Far Cry 2 has a lot to live up to. The first Far Cry, developed by Crytek, was critically lauded among reviewers and loved by gamers the world over. Ubisoft Montreal has a lot to live up to. Fortunately, it's been working its French Canadian fingers to the bone to do just that.
Breaking away from previous games in the series, players are whisked off to the wilds of Africa. The premise is simple - there's an arms dealer out and about going by the name of The Jackal. He's been playing local warring factions off against each other because... well, it's good for business. Your job is to take him out.
Two things stand out about Far Cry 2. The first is the sheer size of the game. Players are presented with an open world that's a massive 50 square kilometres in total, all resplendent with detail. Second is just how much effort has gone into the design. Things work as they're meant to work. Take fire, for instance. If you're approaching a settlement you need to attack and the wind's at your back, setting the dry grass alight will serve you well, because the flames will blow towards your opponent and get your attack nicely underway. Try it with the wind blowing the other way, however, and you'll find yourself getting singed at least.
All this comes complete with a full online multiplayer mode that packs all of the above into the opportunity to blow your mates' - and strangers - brains out.

FIFA 10 (PS3)
On the heels of winning 25 international gaming awards with FIFA 09, the top-selling football franchise from EA SPORTS™ is surpassed with FIFA 10. Responding to consumer feedback from more than 275 million online games played, FIFA 10 refines an already potent game engine, focusing on what matter most to fans.
On the pitch, critical gameplay fundamentals have been enhanced to ensure that FIFA 10 mirrors real-world football, providing more sophisticated ball control, and physical interaction. On attack, players now analyze space more effectively, curve their runs in an attempt to stay onside, create passing lanes naturally, and drive for more variety in attacking options. On defense, new concepts like position priority enable defenders to multitask so dangerous spaces left open by teammates out of position are covered. Plus, slide tackle targeting, press marking, and better urgency clearance logic provide new options that make defending a tactical skill in FIFA 10.
Three new innovations change the player control experience in FIFA 10. The first-ever true 360° dribbling system gives players finer control of the ball, enabling them to find spaces between defenders that previously were not possible. Using an all-new animation technology, skilled dribblers now have the ability to face the defender and use highly responsive lateral dribbling to skip past him. An innovative concept called Freedom in Physical Play enables players to perform wider dribble touches and new collision sharing creates a varied, less predictable, and extended fight for possession between the dribbler and a defender.
A deeper iteration of the ever-popular Manager Mode features more than 50 major improvements, including new match realism, ultra-realistic player transfers based on multiple decision points, and true-to-life player growth curves.
New game modes, and innovations to popular features like Be A Pro, will be revealed in the upcoming months.
Features of FIFA 2010 include:
360° Dribbling - The first-ever true 360° dribbling system in a football game provides finer dribbling control, enabling players to find spaces between defenders that previously were not possible.
Skilled Dribbling - All-new animation warping technology provides unprecedented control. Skilled players now have the ability to face a defender and use highly-responsive lateral dribbling to skip past him.
Freedom in Physical Play - Wider dribble touches and new collision sharing creates a varied, less predictable, and extended fight for possession between the dribbler and a defender.
Player Urgency - Improved urgency AI logic, with over 50 new movement cycles, delivers more responsive positioning so your players stay focused on the ball and move at a speed appropriate to the action.
Improved Trapping Intelligence - Players now have a better awareness of where the easiest, most natural trapping position is so they can get the ball on the ground and under control easier and earlier.
Advanced Positioning - Defenders multi-task and play the pitch more intelligently by covering dangerous spaces left by out-of-position teammates. In attack, players analyze space more effectively, curve their runs to stay onside, create passing lanes and vary attacking options.
More Accurate Passing - Players better analyze space resulting in pinpoint passes that give their receivers more options and time to outrun defensive pressure.
Authentic Shooting - Refinements to the shooting system and modifications of the ball physics create a wider, more realistic variety of shots that enhance the exhilaration of scoring.
Varied Defending Options - Slide Tackle targeting has been enhanced so skilled players have more reach and avoid tackling through the dribbler. Better effort clearance logic gives defenders more options when attempting to get a foot on the ball before an attacker. Effort, such as sliding to block crosses and overhead kick clearances, give defenders more tools to prevent goal-scoring opportunities.
Refined Goalkeeper Intelligence - numerous improvements mean that goalkeepers now have more urgency and better perception of where to intercept loose balls, resulting in a more responsive and powerful rushing system. New animation warping technology provides game-realistic goalkeeper positioning and momentum, resulting in more varied scoring opportunities.
Manager Mode Authenticity - More than 50 major improvements were designed to create an authentic experience to mimic the real-world game. Match results are based on team and player strengths and weaknesses. Player transfers are determined by multiple decision points, including club finance and prestige, availability of similar players, and competition from AI-controlled clubs. Player development is more realistic with true-to-life growth curves based on factors such as age and environment.
Continuous Gameplay - Maintain the atmosphere, pace, and intensity of a match with quick free kicks and referee carding.
New Practice Arena - Work on individual skills in a fully featured practice mode before stepping on the pitch.

Fracture (PlayStation 3)
Summary
Developer:
Publisher:
Activision
Deformable terrain. For a while there, it seemed like you couldn't click a link on the entire WorldWide Web without seeing a reference to it in games. It got a little tiresome, didn't it? That may be, but LucasArts is looking to raise the bar with Fracture.
Fracture is developed by Day 1 Studios, whose previous project was Vivendi's F.E.A.R. The game's story involves your typical sci-fi 'the-world's-on-the-brink-of-ecological-disaster' fare, with cybernetically enhanced soldiers duking it out with a genetically modified opposition.
If you're thinking something to the tune of uh, another sci-fi shooter, then you should hold it right there, bub. What promises to make Fracture different, if not great, is the terrain deformation gameplay mechanics. Normally 'terrain deformation' is code for 'we've got a racing game that doesn't do anything our last-gen racer did, except look prettier'. Not here, however.
Your character is a demolitions expert, and he works with weapons specifically designed to use the terrain against his opponents. Pop a grenade up in the air and instead of getting a bang you'll get a huge sinkhole that drags all your enemies into the bowels of the earth.
Fracture also boasts a multi-player aspect that, with the aforementioned terrain deformation, should provide an experience like no other online game you've played.

Stormrise is a post apocalyptic real-time strategy game from Creative Assembly, the makers of Medieval II: Total War. Two warring factions arise from the rubble: the Echelon, a technologically advanced race that endured the planet's fallout by way of self-induced hibernation, and the Sai, a tribal society that adapted to the new apocalyptic environment and evolved over time. Players can command units in the air, across rooftops, on the earth's surface and even underground; this unique idea of "verticality" introduces multiple layers of gameplay that must be mastered for strategic advantage. The experience is heightened by a simple yet effective control system tailored specifically for consoles, which allows easy unit selection, rapid navigation and precise deployment.
