GamesRadar - Previews GC 09: Star Wars: The Old Republic - hands-on (Star Wars: The Old Republic) August 25, 2009 at 12:00 am What you've got here is basically Mass Effect, set in a Star Wars universe and massively multiplayer-enabled. So when you're not talking to a human-controlled player, you get fully-voiced cutscenes and interactions, with the same conversation system that Mass Effect uses so convincingly. This applies to every non-player character, making this the first fully-voiced MMO. Fact. ... GC 09: Aliens Vs Predator (Aliens vs Predator ) August 25, 2009 at 12:00 am Aliens Vs Predator is being shown behind closed doors at Gamescom in Cologne, demonstrating Alien gameplay for the first time. Here's what we thought. Unlike the rather traditional-looking mercenary gameplay - which looks like Doom 3 with pulse rifles - the Alien side of things is looking very different. Aesthetically, the game is much more stylised in this mode. The fish-eye lens effect, coupled with some neat discolouration and ... GC 09: Modern Warfare II (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2) August 25, 2009 at 12:00 am It's still early doors at Gamescom and we're already dripping with sweat. That's not the German beer sweats though, we've just sat down with Infinity Ward to see Modern Warfare II. These are real excite-sweats. IW played through an entire mission in the game's Special Ops mode, a new mode that throws you into small, bite-sized missions where all hell breaks loose for a few minutes - enough time to make you sweat out without the hassle ... GC 09: Gran Turismo 5 (Gran Turismo 5) August 25, 2009 at 12:00 am It's been delayed so much, we almost didn't believe it when we discovered that Gran Turismo 5 - NOT Prologue, but the actual sequel - was playable on the Gamescom show floor. Playable it was though, albeit a very particularly stingy demo with just a single car and track to try. But it did give us a sneaky peak, for the first time, at actual car damage in a Gran Turismo game. The course we played is a new track set in Tokyo (Tokyo ... GC 09: Def Jam Rapstar (Def Jam Rapstar) August 25, 2009 at 12:00 am We've taken a first look at 4mm Games' Def Jam Rapstar at Gamescom and have come away impressed. If you like SingStar but find all that Abba stuff a bit too vanilla, this'll be right up your street. The game sees you plugging in your camera and then rapping along to famous tracks, before uploading your best 30 seconds for the game's online community to enjoy/laugh at. The game is still in relatively early stages, so no artists ... GC 09: Assassin's Creed II (Assassin's Creed II) August 25, 2009 at 12:00 am Assassin's Creed II looks absolutely gorgeous. The demo being shown to press at Gamescom this week sports superb draw distance, detailed crowds in the streets and it's all running silky smooth on Xbox 360. This particular demo takes place in the Florence area of town, kicking off with protagonist Ezio performing a familiar 100ft leap from the top of a building into a hay car below. This time around the crowds in the sci-fi, ... GC 09: Forza Motorsport 3 (Forza Motorsport 3) August 25, 2009 at 12:00 am When a game like Forza Motorsport 2 comes along, taking a decent original game and propelling it into the next generation with a near definitive experience, it's hard to imagine what a second sequel could do. In Forza 3's case, it's really rather simple. The same, but BIGGER. And from the looks of things, that's exactly what we're going to get. During a behind-closed-doors showing of the game, product manager Amritz Lay was eager to ... GC 09: Tekken 6 (Tekken 6) August 25, 2009 at 12:00 am Tekken 6 has been something of a slow burner. Already available to play in the arcades (if you can find one), there had to be something extra in the home console version to warrant the seemingly endless wait. And, sure enough, there is just that - the new campaign mode. Firstly, we should make it clear that this isn't going to replace the regular action of the arcade mode. 'Proper' Tekken is still the star of the show with the ...   This email was sent to dan.j978@gmail.com.  Create Your Account Don't want to receive this feed any longer? Unsubscribe here.
