(continued from previous page) ...called, Bad Company. When they realize a truckload of gold is being transported nearby, they come to the conclusion that the army doesn’t pay enough and it’s time to get theirs. This leads them throughout a majority of Eastern Europe and the world.
Bad Company will also finally feature completely destructible environments. Fans of the series have always wished for this to be added each and every time and it’s finally arrived. It’s being reported that the classes will be minimized for the sake of adding greater customization for the rest of the classes that make the cut. The game is also set to feature some modern weaponry with a mix of future weapons since the game is placed a couple of years into the future. Enthusiasts won’t have to fret though, as these weapons will not be highly unrealistic as that would slant against the rest of the game. You’ll have to wait and see if Battlefield: Bad Company can live up to its predecessors when it hits store shelves on March 24th.
4. Fallout 3
Developer: Bethesda Softworks
Developed by the creators of The Elder Scrolls series, Bethesda Softworks, Fallout 3 is a post-apocalyptic RPG title set in the wastelands of what used to be Washington D.C, North America. As a member of fallout shelter Vault 101, your character awakes one day to discover his father has mysteriously vanished, venturing out into the desolate wastelands alone. With no explanation for his disappearance, you leave the relative comfort of the shelter and explore the outside world to locate your missing father at all costs.
Due for release later this year, Fallout 3 incorporates some fundamental gameplay aspects that should be familiar to anyone who has played The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, such as the ability to view the action from either a first or third person perspective, in addition to creating your own character. The creators promise that gamers will be able to unlock multiple, unique endings depending on their actions employed throughout the game, as well as a specialised combat system, described by the developers as a combination of both real-time and turn-based battles.
Long time fans will also be pleased to know that the game utilizes a Perks and Skills similar to previous instalments, along with an entirely new health and radiation system, allowing players to determine an objects radioactivity level by examining it, thus learning the effect it will have on your character.
3. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Developed by Lucas Arts
We’re sure you’re wondering how many Star Wars related videogames could they possibly think of, right? Well, we know of at least one more that they already have. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is set to release in 2008. For those of you who can’t get enough of this saga, you’ll be pleasantly surprised and/or saddened by the storyline that occurs throughout the title in question.
With a year of firsts, this game is no exception. You will be privileged with the opportunity to be Darth Vader’s young apprentice. In a world that takes place between the 3rd and 4th episodes of the saga, to be exact, seven years after Star Wars III and the rise of the Galactic Empire, you’ll be guided to kill any remaining Jedi that breathe. The story is a thrilling continuation of the prequel trilogy and involves the aftermath of Order 66. From your own standpoint, you’ll be able to watch Darth Vader evolve into what he later becomes.
The game is full of new technology including Digital Molecular Matter from Pixelux Entertainment, which will be the main force behind destructible objects. It also introduces Havok’s system for rigid body physics and Euphoria. Euphoria gives each character its own individual nervous system, so their movements will mimic their actual surroundings individually. This is something a lot of gamers have been waiting for in other blockbuster titles, so it’ll be good to see how it was out for The Force Unleashed. ... (continued on next page)

Wasn't there an article earlier stating that Liberty City isn't as big as San Andreas, but just more complex? 1 whole hour to traverse the city? Crazy. Wait a sec. Is that 1 hour clock time or 1 hour game-clock time? Full throttle or by the speed limit? Ahhh! Too many questions, never enough answers.

soul 645 i disagree mate, in all the games that have used character creation the storyline is really weak because you have to cater for name changes an stuff, but by allowing you to customiaze a character already established (like you will be able 2 in gta) it keeps the storyline immersive.

Just8, I feel you're only half-right. Mass Effect allows for character creation and the story and game alone are magnificent. PS3 fans how refuse to or can't afford to buy the 360 as well, really missed out on a solid title. There have been a handful of games which have done fantastic things with character creation.

On my list Burnout would be a bit higher and a couple of the honorable mentions would have made it. Otherwise not too bad of a list.

I'm not saying it isn't a great console, I own one myself, But praising the system on a PS only website is a little stupid In my opinion. Go to an Xbox site and praise the PS3. See how many fanboys flame on you.

There are plenty of Xbox forums that are PS3 friendly. Xbox360forums.com being one of them. They have a PS3 section that is very effective and very lively. Just because some groups of people have trouble opening their mind, doesn't mean you group all of them together.

I've seen my fair share of fanboy fights, just advising you against getting flamed on is all.

About The Last Remnant being simultaneously released, I'm going to be really surprised if it actually is. Sqaure Enix is THE greatest developer of all time, but Advent Children was gonna be simultaneously released too. Instead we got it half a year later. And honestly, I don't see the point or fun of GTA games besides emotionless killing and destruction. Violence and gore I can understand in a game like Gears Of War, because it's war and that's really what happens. But I just don't see why everyone loves GTA so much. Personally I think the games are totally boring and pointless. And also, will Fallout 3 be all open about stuff like Oblivion was? Because that would be beyond awesome if it is.

Express it with tact, not in a deliberate fashion to be rude or flammable. I have no problem taking criticism as you'll see from articles I've written here where members have given me flack. I'd just prefer it to be done respectfully. PS: I'm terrible at COD4, so that would be a waste of time for the both of us.
