Wrecked: Revenge Revisited looks to bring simple controls and frantic action to racing fans later this year.
When it comes to vehicular-combat racers, often the best kinds are those that you can play against your friends in the same room. Wrecked: Revenge Revisited gives you the opportunity to race and battle against your friends in a number of different environments. Instead of this being a standard kart racer where power-ups help you race to victory, you need to use the environment and the various weapon upgrades to take out your opposition and score points.
So instead of requiring you to race as fast as possible, each scenario plays out in “heats.” When you’re playing against another racer, the character who gets eliminated first loses a point, while the survivor earns a point, and the one who reaches the required number of points first wins. As more competitors are involved, the point deductions and rewards will vary. When we played with three racers, the first to go lost a point, while the second didn’t lose any points, and the winner of that particular heat earned the point.
Metro: Last Light is an upcoming action-oriented video game with a combination of survival horror and first-person shooter elements.
The game is set in 2034 in the same setting as Metro 2033, the Moscow Metro. The game picks up after the “bad” ending from Metro 2033, in which Artyom delivers a devastating attack on the mysterious supernatural race known as the Dark Ones. The station-cities of the Metro struggle for power using weapons found in D6. The player follows Artyom, the main protagonist from Metro 2033, as the supposed “key to survival – the last light in our darkest hour…”
The Cursed Crusade is set at the end of the 12th century and is centered on a pair of cursed warriors fighting to save their souls.
This game brings together the beauty and wonder of medieval Europe and a thrilling adventure of dark fantasy. You will embark on a contentious quest for retribution through five chapters and 40 missions. One of the features in the game is a templar curse, which increases your strength and your ability to perceive hidden things, but at the expense of your humanity.
Play with a friend with the Brotherhood of Steel: split-screen or online. Your friend will assume control of the thief, Esteban. The Cursed Crusade offers intense, visceral third-person action. The weapon-based combat engine features more than 90 combos that you can perform with 130-plus available weapons.
The Kinect-based Black Eyed Peas Experience had us toe-to-toe on the dance floor with the Peas, just as we’ve always dreamed.
Like the radio-safe version of the song says, let’s get it started in here: The Black Eyed Peas Experience is a Black Eyed Peas dance game, bumped up to “experience” status with the addition of original music videos and other fan-pleasing extras. In it, you play as a customised avatar in a dance-off against the Peas themselves in a pumping, all-Black Eyed Peas discotheque.
Having (presumably) evaded the Black Eyed Peas’ bodyguards, your avatar gets all up in the group’s grill and challenges them to a face-to-face dance contest, in which you mirror the moves of whichever group member takes centre stage. With your avatar onscreen, his or her back to the player, and the four group members jigging beyond that, it’s a busy picture–more so, even, with the simultaneous two-player, and with bright highlights pinging off your avatar’s limbs when you pull off a successful dance move.
Step into the roles of your favourite heroes in the epic finale of the entertainment event of the decade.
Playing as Harry and other key characters in the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 videogame, you are on a dangerous and urgent quest to locate and destroy the remaining Horcruxes, and with them, Voldemort.

Featuring the most epic battles of any Harry Potter game gone before, this is the ultimate showdown against Voldemort and his Dark forces.
The fate of the wizarding world rests in your hands in the final battle of Hogwarts.
Comedy Central game studio creative director confirms new title based on cartoon series en route for Microsoft’s platform.
Unlike the aesthetically crude Comedy Central show it was based upon, South Park’s first brush with gaming in the late ’90s was objectively not good. However, Microsoft and Comedy Central went a long way to righting the franchise in gamers’
Now, it appears as if a second South Park game is headed exclusively to the Xbox 360. Speaking to Joystiq, 345 Games creative director Prithvi Virasinghe confirmed that his studio is collaborating with Microsoft on a new title based on the tiny-town travails of Kyle, Stan, Kenny, and Cartman.

When the apocalypse comes, there will be worse things than radioactive clouds or gnashing zombies.
In Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon, the banner of doom is being carried by thousands of gigantic bugs that no can of repellent can hope to deal with. But if total annihilation is inevitable, you might as well enjoy your final hours. Over-the-top destruction is the focal point of this lighthearted shooter, and there’s an undeniable thrill in blasting overgrown ants with your grenades, plowing through abominable spiders while in a tank, or just toppling buildings on a whim. There’s little need for strategy when you can just blast everything that moves, so it’s a matter of readying your aim and unleashing holy hell.
Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon has lots of explosions and destruction, but not quite enough variety to keep things moving.
