"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" multiplayer enthusiasts are going to see a lot of similarities popping up in their Battle.net experiences with "StarCraft 2" and future WarCraft games. Blizzard laid out its manifesto for upgrading its online multiplayer system, and the new features they plan to implement will reach across all of their upcoming online PC games.

Ubisoft put the Xbox 360 edition of "Ghost Recon: Future Soldier" front and center when they announced the game this week, revealing that a multiplayer beta would be available to early buyers of "Splinter Cell: Conviction." PC and PS3 versions were confirmed with less fanfare over Twitter, but the complete platform lineup now includes the Wii, PSP and DS as well.

"Final Fantasy XIII" bundles may not be isolated to Japan after all if a listing similar to the "Modern Warfare 2" package is to be believed. The validity of the box art ma
'SOCOM: Fire Team Bravo 3' Review - Once More With Feeling
Posted 2/10/10 1:26 pm ET by Brad Nicholson in PSP, Reviews
Slant Six Games has taken another crack at the "SOCOM" series with "SOCOM Navy SEALS: Fire Team Bravo 3," a PSP exclusive. It's a force of habit not to expect much from most handheld games, especially of the 3rd shooter variety, but there's some oomph in this particular title. Let's see just how much there is.
'Heavy Rain' Review - Innovation Can Only Get You So Far
Posted 2/10/10 12:00 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in PS3, Reviews
Innovation in video games can be a rare commodity. Every day we see titles pour onto store shelves which are derivative of successful franchises, attempting to copy what the last guy did while making it slightly better to justify another $60 purchase. "Heavy Rain" is not one of those games. While it has roots in classic adventure gaming, it's unlike anything I've ever played. It's also not very good.
After 'Dante's Inferno': 5 Public Domain Works to Adapt Next
Posted 2/10/10 10:33 am ET by John Constantine in Features, PS3, PSP, Xbox 360
Fourteen months after its auspicious debut, we are now able to play "Dante's Inferno" in all of its glory. The wait has been unbearable. Who hasn't been chomping at the bit to get their hands on Visceral Games' grand reinterpretation of Dante Aligheri's seven-hundred-year-old poetry?
If "Dante" manages to capture an audience, we might be on the verge of a new gaming zeitgeist, wherein publishers across the land craft their blockbusters from the most traditional IPs in the public domain. Here are five games based on classic lit and the developers most suited to realizing them.
Next 'Assassin's Creed' Goes To Rome...Again
Posted 2/9/10 7:02 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in News, PS3, Xbox 360
Information on the next installment of "Assassin's Creed" continues to trickle out of Ubisoft, and it would appear that I'm playing into their diabolical hands by feeding you said information on a drip-by-drip basis. Today's tidbit comes from Ubi's fiscal report, and it basically confirms the location of the upcoming "Assassin's Creed" Ezio spin-off. Here's the quote from Ubi:
As "Diablo 3" moves forward at a snail's pace to its unrevealed launch date in "the next few years," new character class reveals are likely to be the best new info we get for a while. The game's monk class showed up at BlizzCon 2009 and in some action shots from a trailer, but he only had one gender at the time. Now, Blizzard has pulled back the curtains on his feminine counterpart.
'Dante's Inferno' Review - Heckling Heck
Posted 2/9/10 4:09 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in PS3, Reviews, Xbox 360
Classic literature doesn't always make for the best video game subject matter (yes, "Beowulf," I'm looking at you). With "Dante's Inferno," though, EA managed to pick an epic with a powerful story of love and a fascinating, varied setting. But can a revived classic make for a decent modern day video game? Depends on who you ask. Oh, you're asking me? Ok, fine.
The Basics
You play as Dante, a soldier in the Crusades who dies during an uprising of prisoners and is sent down to hell for his varied sins, only to battle Death and return to the land of the living. But when Dante discovers that his old lady, Beatrice, has been killed and sent down to hell (for his acts of betrayal against her), he decides he's going to save her from an afterlife of eternal torment. A little late, Dante!
The game plays out as a 3rd person, combat-heavy action game. The combat is focused around an extending scythe and a powerful cross, both of which can be used in tandem to create new combinations. There's also some light puzzle-solving and a character upgrade system.
'Ghost Recon: Future Soldier' Graduates From Trademarked Title To Game At Ubisoft
Posted 2/9/10 4:00 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News, PC, PS3, Xbox 360
Hey, look that! "Ghost Recon: Future Solider," the title that Ubisoft trademarked last year, turned out to be for a game after all. "Future Soldier," which may or may not be the game "Ghost Recon: Predator" was supposed to become, should be out this year with a beta coming out as soon as this summer and a full release planned for the 2010 holiday season.
