The Secret World is an in-development MMORPG by Funcom. An original story, it will take place in the modern day as well as ancient mythology and civilizations long gone, blending these elements into what is being called a dark fantasy with supernatural elements.

A battle between good and evil will unfold and players will be a part of it, building up their supernatural powers (there are no classes) and shaping their characters as they desire. The game will also include depictions of some real locations as well as fictional ones.

Not much else is known about the game or its possible release. In addition to the PC, it’s also scheduled to come out for the Xbox 360.

Watch the first trailer for Marvel Pinball, coming soon to XBLA and PSN! Pinball might be old skool but if this doesn’t make you want to play then I’ll eat my adamantium.

In the Warco, you control a journalist filming and traveling through war zones.

The game itself — the title of which is actually short for “war correspondent” — follows the story of journalist Jesse DeMarco. Players will experience the process of filming conflicts, going into dangerous situations armed with nothing but a camera. They will then edit the footage into a compelling news story. The scenarios range from intense bursts of action to quieter moments as you discuss the events of the day with fellow journalists in a hotel. Though the main mechanic will be filming the action, Warco is also very much about choice.

Capcom revealed the first gameplay video of Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 playable character Phoenix Wright, and I can say without fear of hyperbole he should be in every fighting game ever. Forget the awesomeness of the comparatively tiny lawyer beating up the foes like the Hulk, the guy throws the book at his opponents — as a move. He literally throws “the book” at them. He also throws damaging evidence, attacks by walking forward while writing notes, and, of course, says “OBJECTION!” so powerfully the word balloon brings his foes to their knees. And that’s just his regular special movies; the hyper combos include a judge bringing a very large hammer of justice down, and then Wright proving his opponent guilty (of what, I’m not sure) which is awesome and becomes infinitely more awesome when it’s used on characters like Doctor Doom. God help me, between Phoenix here and the still-in-all-likelihood-happening-but-as-yet-unseen Rocket Raccoon, I may have to pony up for this thing. I don’t even need to play it. I just want to own it.

Tribes: Ascend is a new generation of the online multiplayer shooter, incorporating classic Tribes elements such as fast-paced jetpack enabled combat, skiing, and vehicles, combined with teamwork and strategy.

Somehow, this is the first official in-game footage of Hitman: Subtitle which has been released to the hungry eyes of the public. Feast, feast!

As Adam worried in his preview t’other week, old 47 doesn’t appear to be quite so silent an assassin as he once was, but it’s good to see he’s still playing fancy dress in between punching people and shooting people and throwing people and choking people.

Well, that was far too short. Also, is 47 Batman now?

Hedone is a free-to-play multiplayer online first-person shooter.

The concept behind the game is simple – pure hedonism! In the world of Hedone, your top priority is personal pleasure, fun and fame. The gamer enters the arena of a combat game show that is aired worldwide, allows themselves to be acclaimed as celebrity, then satisfies his or her craving for personal glory and decadence in a gripping, nerve-wracking atmosphere charged with suspense.

Smudged Cat Games, the creators of “The Adventures of Shuggy” are proud to present the trailer for their upcoming new game, “Growing Pains”.

Growing Pains gives the traditional platformer a shake up with psychedelic graphics, a thumping sound track and an ingenious twist that you’ve never seen before. The ‘Vessel’ which you control continually grows and expands leaving you in a permanent race to clear the area and escape before you get too big and find your butt wedged in a tight spot.

Combine this with tight controls and levels crammed with devious traps and you’ve got a heart-pounding race guaranteed to leave you with sweaty palms and a sense of overwhelming satisfaction when you reach the goal.

Despite costing a measly 240 MS points Growing Pains will feature 9 massive levels each with 3 difficulty levels that radically change how each level plays out. This is the kind of game that just makes you want to show everyone your skills so level times and replays are shared with other gamers while you play allowing you to compare high scores against your friends and the rest of the world.

Growing Pains will be out for the XBox Indie games channel in October adding to our existing line up of “A Bomb’s Way”, “The Tower: A Bomb’s Climb” and “Timeslip”!
