While last year's E3 demo portrayed Future Soldier as something bordering on a straight action shooter, the more recent showing marked a partial return to the series' slower-paced, stealthier roots. Four missions were available for testing, including a tactical...

Darksiders II, then, is a story about Death. He's replacing his Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse brother War as protagonist - a move rumoured (by me) to have happened because THQ was tired of games journalists using the strapline "What is it good for?" in their coverage of the original game.

But, you know, what does Death actually do? Unlike his brother he can't block, for a start, which is pretty significant change for a game that trades in third-person brawling - think more Bayonetta and Devil May Cry,...

Corners are taken with tandem application of drift and brake, and the delicate handling and aggressive engines ensure counter-steer is a necessity more often than it is not. Beginner players will often find themselves taking corners with either excessive under or...

It's big, for a start, coming in with its own campaign (of which I played the opening two levels) that criss-crosses with the events of Jackie Estacado's single-player adventure.

It's clear at moments like these that Spec Ops: The Line is aiming for maturity. It's a third-person shooter, and as such it's got all the gung-ho hijinks you'd expect from the genre: Roadie runs into cover, terse firefights, and skull-popping headshots. But when it's not asking you to deal with waves of gun-toting hostiles. The Line has a...

UFC 3 benefits from a longer development cycle than its previous games, and the extra time appears to have paid dividends from some near-final code displayed at a recent THQ event. There are lots of considered nips and tucks to the established rhythm...

This is Saints Row: The Third's Whored (do you get it?) mode, which pits two players against thirty bizarre waves of enemies across three different maps. The rounds are predetermined and eclectic, so you might find yourself fighting a throng of enemies dressed up as energy drinks mere seconds after knocking away a gaggle of crazed midgets.

I'm playing on the Daedalus airship, a circular map scattered with convenient pillars for cover, a dangerous drop in the middle, and a raised helipad to retreat to as a last resort. Elsewhere, you can...

This is Leo Tan, PR man. He may not know much about bears either, but he certainly knows a lot about fighting games. Given that he works for Capcom, you'd expect Leo to know Street Fighter X Tekken inside out. But at this stage of proceedings, there are things that even he doesn't know. Fighting games tend to undergo significant changes during development, with major differences even between consecutive builds. So, in today's code Hugo - the gargantuan wrestler from Final Fight and Street Fighter III 2nd Impact - is an absolute...

Risen 2 transplants the comedy quirks of adventure games from the 90s into modern framework. You play the "Unnamed Hero", the very same from the 2009 original, in an unlucky position that begins with being betrayed by shipmates and marooned on an island. Taking place 10 years after the events of the...

Like I said, it's not my area of expertise.

While I'll be the first to admit my shortcomings as a footie pundit, I do know a clever idea when I see one. Leaving aside the fact that it looks utterly gorgeous, the Vita edition of FIFA 12 pulls off the unlikely feat of bringing something genuinely new to the party - a feature that could only work on Sony's new handheld. Some bright spark noticed that the...

When we finally catch up with him, he's behind a door marked "Customer Relations". He's having seven shades kicked out of him by a security guard, while another watches on with a bored expression. In any other game, we might rescue Mr Young, but that's not what goes down today. In Syndicate, we use our Breach powers to hack into the brain of one of the guards, who then promptly executes both Young and the other guard before shooting himself in the...
