Yet, a small shudder passes through the crowd. The game we're all here to see, BioShock Infinite, hasn't been presented to the press since E3, and even then no one other than Irrational's devs were allowed anywhere near its controls. Since then, the only news that's emerged about the game has centred on the list of high...

Of course, the original didn't have you up against human enemies and necromorphs brandishing guns. Dead Space 3 is clearly a very different game to its predecessors, though Visceral is adamant the game will still feature plenty of tight, spooky corridors and tension in its single-player campaign.

The game's co-op mode - Dead Space 3's headline feature is support for...

Pitched as a spiritual sequel to 2005's Need for Speed: Most Wanted, the game also filters in elements of Hot Pursuit, Criterion's last Need for Speed effort, and even their much-loved Burnout Paradise. But, seeing as how the last Most Wanted was released just a few years ago, why didn't Guildford's Criterion just call it Most Wanted 2? "We don't make...

And a UK developer is one of the things I was originally most worried about for DmC. To be blunt, I was incredibly sceptical about this reboot of the series: I didn't trust the developer to have the technical know-how to produce such a combat-focused action game, I didn't particularly like the look of the new Dante and I wasn't convinced about actual gameplay from what I'd seen up until this point.

I may have been a bit hasty in my judgement.

Actually going hands-on with the game left me feeling...

Poor taste aside, the irony of the situation is that this trailer will reinforce fears that Hitman: Absolution is an unwelcome departure for the series – mere days before Square Enix unveils a demo that seeks to prove the opposite case. Because for all intents and purposes, Agent 47's latest showing is exactly the kind of offering that fans have been calling for: an open-ended mission in a miniature sandbox environment, replete with...

It's an encouraging sign for anyone afraid that Firaxis' reboot of Microprose's strategy classic was going to give us an easy ride. Even over the brief course of two early missions, it's clear that reckless play will lead to dead XCOM operatives; given the new emphasis on developing and levelling your squaddies,...

Well, what's it to be?



The Quiet Way

We're dropped off by boat, having travelled down the river that runs through the city of Dunwall – a plague-ridden, mutated blend of Victorian London, 18th Century whaling towns, and various steampunk oddities.

We make our way through the streets that lead to The Golden Cat bathhouse – a tall, imposing building with circular architecture. If we loitered in the preceding...

Perhaps we should expect nothing less from Studio Ghibli's first sortie into games development, working in conjunction with Level 5, but even so, the cel-shaded cast are strikingly beautiful. Even when you're simply traversing the overworld there's an abundance of charm: anime monsters patrol the landscape, and if you get too near a Metal Gear-style exclamation mark appears over their heads, at which point they give chase with angry-but-cute little...

We're stateside now, at a time where the colonies are in flux, perhaps mirroring the game's own development changes. The game is split between early New York and Boston during the mid-to-late 1700s, and an area called The Frontier which acts as its cultural counterpoint – a...
