- Sin Episodes Arena Mode Q&A -
Ritualistic interviewed the Levelord and Ken Harward about the upcoming
free Arena Mode add-on for SiN Episodes.
- Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures Interview -
Shacknews has an Age of Conan interview. The topic includes the storyline,
the singleplayer campaign, the character creation system, the AI and more.
Here's a bit about combat: You can WHACK and, with time, learn combos. The
basis for this type of fighting is the so called 'Multipoint melee system'.
This allows you to attack in six directions / locations towards your opponent.
(Up, up-left etc...) This is what will be used to create combos and special
attacks. With time you can have several combos to do, enabling you to stun,
maim or behead your opponent - all in the good spirit of Conan's brutal
fighting system.
- Fable 2 Preview (Xbox 360) -
Games Radar has a preview of Lionhead's Fable 2, seemingly based on
viewing the trailer.
- Final Fantasy XIII images (PS3) -
Famitsu has posted a slew of new Final Fantasy XIII screens on their
website. As you can see, these images look as good as some of the FMV CG from
the early Final Fantasy PSX games.
- Prey Weekly Update #22 - The 3D Realms web site has the latest
Prey dev diary where Chris Rhinehart wrote: 'Next week the Prey demo is
released. Grab it, play it, and comment on it. I'm very much looking forward
to what everyone has to say. Until next week...stay out of trouble.'
- New Official Battlefield 2 Map Coming -
The official Battlefield 2 web site has a new community update announcing
some of the new changes coming for the next patch for the DICE-EA multiplayer
shooter. A new free map, Road to Jalalabad, will also be included with the
patch and an open beta for the patch will be released in early July.
- Short Steam News Update -
In the latest of the Steam News Updates, Valve has provided links to two
very well-done sites ( that attempt to cover the entire Half-Life saga.
They are Chan "Ventro" K's
Half-Life Saga
Story Guide and the
Wikipedia Episode One page. Note that these pages feature key story
elements from Episode One, so I wouldn't recommend reading them until after
you've played through the game.
- Half-Life 2: Episode 2 Still Due Out This Year - The newest issue
of PC Gamer magazine is now being mailed to subscribers and it has a preview
of Half-Life 2: Episode 2, the next chapter in Valve's episodic first person
shooter. Unfortuately the article states that Episode 2 is due out in April
2007. It seems to be wrong because
1Up.com
contacted Valve for confirmation and learned that Episode 2 is still
targeted for a holiday 2006 release.
- Rebellion Buys Core Design - Eidos informed us that Rebellion has
purchased Tomb Raider developer Core Design. Well, "the staff and physical
assets" at least

The site

slated to ship this September for the Gamecube, PC, Playstation 2, Xbox and
Xbox 360.
