Watch out for the Splash Damage! Richard Ham, creative director at Splash Damage talks us through some of Brink's finer points... Multiplayer has for many people become the reason why they invest in a game, is Brink’s ambition to marry single and multiplayer a reaction to this? Actually, our fusion of single and multiplayer gaming came about for the opposite reason.  We think there are still too many players out there who love solo shooter gameplay, but never go online once they’ve finished ...

Will I wave my sword if I'm simply reaching for my beer? Whatever your thoughts and feelings over Natal, it's hard not to give over just a little bit of excitement for Lionhead and Fable III. Now that it's been revealed ex-Python and all round funny man John Cleese will be providing the voice of your own personal butler, the steam roller of hype has already begun. We've no doubt Cleese will provide ...

Oh, LucasArts you do know how to win us over... We've not tried to hide the fact that pretty much every person on team X360 is a massive fan of the old point and click Monkey Island adventure games. It was a dream come true when LucasArts HD'd up the original and let it loose over Live. It seems most of you agreed with us and now we're happy to report that the sequel, Le Chuck's Revenge will be available later ...

Capcom revealed the final character in the Super Street Fight IV roster last night in San Francisco.

They're coming outta the DLC! For those of you that didn't pick up the special edition of Rebellion and Sega's Alien vs Predator last month will be able to download the extra multiplayer maps as of the 18th March. Collectively known as the Swarm Map Pack, for 540 Microsoft Points you'll  be able to indulge in two new maps for every game type; Docks and Machine and then switch over to Outpost and Hive, which will just be for those who want to ...

"Bodycount rips apart the first person shooter as genre-defining gunplay comes alive in a balletic orgy of bullets and destruction" Once again, the team behind the last-gen visceral shooter 'Black' are back on the FPS-wagon with their new title: Bodycount. Codemasters Studios, headed up by Black co-designer Stuart Black, is helping Bodycount look like a spiritual successor far more than anything else and is promising all the same press release bullet points as Black did all those years ago. Crazy action ...

It's out there, but what is Epic planning... The likely hood that Gears Of War 3 is in the works with a possible release date of fall 2010, is just one of those things. We all know it's probably coming, but Epic are keeping tight lipped (annoyingly). That said, Gears is a formulaic type of game and one we think we can probably second guess, so here we go, here's the top three things we think we'll see from Gears 3... 1. Flashbacks ...

Who needs a PC when Crytek can get Crysis 2 running on your 360! Obviously, these screens won't literally blow you away, that would be stupid, but they do look mighty impressive. The much anticipated Crysis 2, now for consoles, is finally starting to look like it might, just possibly, actually be able to work on the clearly inferior 360 technology. Not that were dismissing our beloved Xbox or anything, but compared to the ridiculous PC rigs required to run the original ...

No, he's nothing like the Master Chief... The  first batch of screenshots of Platinum Game's promising looking sci-fi third person shooter have begun to emerge and it's looking as curious as ever. With it's transforming suit and at war super powers (Russia and America, again!) fighting other resources it could be argued that it's lacking in the originality departments. But, there's just something about these shots that says stomping around in this suit is going to be awesome fun....

Good bye Tomb Raider and hello Lara Croft... again Square Enix came out today and announced that Crystal Dynamics, long running saviours of the Tomb Raider games, is working on a new title. The 'hinting at a reboot' Lara Croft And The Guardian Of Light is going to be interesting for a few reasons. Firstly, because it's a reboot of a much loved franchise and secondly because it won't be a traditional release ...

The curse of the movie licence... wwhhooo, spooky Let's face it, movie licenced games tend to suck. There may have been a time when we all looked forward to the latest Spider-man game, but now, who are we kidding, now we generally couldn't care less. That's why we spoke to Clash Of The Titans producer, Tomoaki Nanjo about the difficulties of developing games based on movies... "I believe there are 3 major points we need ...

Recently, I chatted to Capcom's Shinsaku Ohara and Blue Castle Games' Rob Barrett about the upcoming sequel Dead Rising 2. We got onto the subject of Japanese publishers working with Western developers, and the often damp results of such relationships – Dead Rising 2 won't struggle in the same way, apparently. Here's why.

I feel the need, the need for... no, wait, that's the other one Are you excited about Blur? Do you want to play and or read about Blur? We'll you'll never guess what's happened! It's only our sister site NowGamer who've gone and got their grubby little hands on some Blur beta codes and had some extended hands on time with the latest build of the game. Not only are they giving away the codes but you can also read their impression ...

For a little while, now, it's been established that Remedy's upcoming action-adventure thriller, Alan Wake, is no longer an open world title as it was originally planned. Last week, I got to ask writer Sam Lake what happened to that idea.

Rather pleasingly, although that rumoured build of GoldenEye running on the 360 looks set to prove the biggest tease since Ryo in Sonic & Sega's All-Star Racing…
