From beginning to end, the player is literally hassled by a destructive, atrocious Helghast attack. Throughout the game’s one and only stealth mission, the adrenaline is kept at seriously high levels, with a clean, refined, absolutely committed focus on action, action, action. There are instances when the game seems more demanding with Helghast soldiers hidden around corners and equipped to slash you up as soon as you emerge in view–and you won’t even know why you’re being attacked or where the bullets come from.

The game feels a lot more agile than Killzone 2, with Guerrilla lessening up the controls to make them more alert, and adding features like a cover-sliding facility in order to make for a more fluid and flexible experience. The cover-based meat of the game is infused with an amazing quantity of multiplicity, as Guerrilla takes you on a tour of Helghan.

From snowy mountains to deep jungles, the situations in Killzone 3 regularly alter, and carry a massive amount of color to the experience.

There are one or two new weapons to add to the fun, but most of the arsenal consists of recurring armaments, which have been twisted for effectiveness, particularly with the addition of sights to guns that were formerly deficient.

Sub-Zero Moves and Combos (Gameplay)

An assassin of the Lin Kuei clan, Kuai Liang commands the power of ice and cold. Unlike other members of his clan, he and his older brother, Bi-Han, were abducted as children by the Lin Kuei and trained in the techniques of assassination throughout their lives. Though his codename is Tundra, he has now assumed the moniker of Sub-Zeroto honor his brother after Bi-Han’s mysterious death. Sub-Zero tirelessly hunts the one who killed his brother.

Mileena Moves and Combos (Gameplay)

Shang Tsung has created many abominable creatures in his Flesh Pits, but none so twisted as Mileena. A fusion of Edenian flesh and Tarkatan blood, Mileena is both beauty and beast. This dichotomy has made her mind unstable; she is prone to fits of madness and savagery. Though she has the appearance of a mature woman, she is more child than adult–a blank slate conformed to Shao Kahn’s will. Devoid of conscience or remorse, Mileena will butcher anyone to appease her beloved father.

Scorpion Moves and Combos (Gameplay)

Hanzo Hasashi was once a member of the Japanese Shirai Ryu ninja clan. Given the name Scorpion for his blindingly fast and deadly fighting skill, his life was blessed with glorious kombat in the name of his Grand Master. But when he, his family, and his clan were brutally exterminated by Sub-Zero and the Lin Kuei, Scorpion’s existence became eternal torment. Resurrected by the malevolent necromancer Quan Chi, he entered the Mortal Kombat tournament to slay Sub-Zero and avenge the murders of his kin.

More signature moves and combos (Liu Kang, Raiden, Shang Tsung)

Using state-of-the-art motion capture techniques, the actors’ performances were captured using reflective tracking markers worn on the face and body. Many of the props and characters they were acting off of only existed inside the computer, however.

Actor Ray Winstone (Admiral Orlock), who cut his teeth on full-body performance capture in the 2007 movie adaptation of Beowulf, was undaunted by that prospect. ”It’s like going back to school in a way,” he said. “You play the scene, and you start to get your imagination back, you know?”

Costar Malcolm McDowell (Chairman Stahl), whose video game appearances stretch back to the early ’90s, was quite satisfied with the technology. “When I’m 85, I can be doing video games, because they can put a young man’s face over mine,” he joked. “And as long as I don’t do a gravelly voice, I’ll be alright!”

Clearly seen in this video, the facial motion capture is as good as we’ve seen and L.A. Noire will blow the doors off past and upcoming titles when it comes to lifelike renditions. Now you need to forget those important moments you had in past games where your characters expression was so dull that you nearly fell asleep during cutscenes. In L.A. Noire, the 3-D rendition of the actors’ face is so impressive that you will definitely have a pleasant experience and start dissecting the liars from the innocent.

Check out this behind-the-scenes video brought to you by Rockstar Games along with interviews with the cast and the makers. As always, we would like to hear from you an your thoughts about L.A. Noire below in the comments section.

This new Resistance 3 trailer is part live action, just like the debut trailer at E3 this year, but this time around it transitions into real gameplay. With music, sound effects, and cinematography that are as gripping as a Hollywood blockbuster this game is a beautiful blend of Independence Day and Saving Private Ryan, only here you get to be the hero of a global resistance against the advanced Chimeras and a warped human race in what’s left of America.

In Resistance, World War II never happened with the Nazi’s… we have a far superior problem with the ever-evolving Chimeras.

Can we survive the alien invasion in Resistance 3? Give us your feedback in the comment section below.

Rockstar Games explained that a new chapter of Sam’s life will be told and set in São Paulo instead of New York as a security agent for a wealthy local family. Now Payne is searching for the truth and looking for a way out from his past.

“This is Max as we’ve never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever.” – Sam Houser, Rockstar Games

Look for a big update soon with a special look behind the technology of the game – in the meantime, check out some latest press preview impressions that continue to roll in from gaming press in Europe and Australia:

“L.A Noire wants us to respect each witness as a complicated persona – as a human being. And it rewards us with some of the most thrillingly lifelike interaction we’ve ever seen on console… What follows offers revelation after revelation, Noire‘s sophisticated narrative untangling with confident patience. We’ve been well and truly enchanted by L.A Noire, from its lugubrious jazz hall ‘feel’ to its stunningly evocative, wonderfully authentic and impressively motley locales… But it’s the game’s personalities that leave us with the feeling that this could represent a new dawn for entertainment as a whole…. This has astounding promise – a giddily cinematic experience, housing an unflinching, surprisingly cerebral adult journey.” – CVG

“Some say that the face is the window to the soul. If that’s the case, then L.A. Noire is going to have hordes of people gawping into its spiritual essence – fogging up the glass with their slack-jawed admiration… Few games have managed to convey expressions in such a convincing manner, and it’s no small understatement to say that L.A. Noire could mark the start of a whole new vein of gaming… There looks to be genuine innovation here, both in terms of design and in the supporting technology.” – Videogamer

“The emotionality that is achieved with MotionScan is simply breathtaking, not just for the technical wow factor, but also because Rockstar has hired some truly talented actors. As a dark, mature thriller aimed purely at adults, we strongly suspect L.A. Noire of having some serious Game Of The Year potential. Make a note of this game, it’s important.” – Ausgamers

Traditional organized crime in Japan is run by Yakuza members, also known as gokudō, and the bosses have nearly the same flaws as their North American counterparts. This subject is also extremely popular in Japan and is very well expressed in movies, television, and video games such as Yakuza 4 by SEGA. One compelling aspect of the Yakuza genre is all the twists and turns on offer. At times, the stories are so confusing that you need to rewatch them to really understand them. If you’re already curious, stop reading this and just go watch The Yakuza Papers Vol. 1 through 5. If you want something a little more straight forward before you start playing the game, we highly recommend watching Takeshi Miike’s remake of Graveyard of Honor or Fudoh: The New Generation.

Yakuza originally released in Japan as Like a Dragon is an action-adventure video game with all the bells and whistles. Unforgettable battles, hookers who are very well illustrated in the art so far and, of course, all the murders. Yakuza 4 pretty much covers all the taboos in the underground world of Tokyo. So, you should ask yourself will you survive the dangers of Yakuza 4?

North American fans of the Yakuza video game series and exclusive to the PS3 were shocked when SEGA first revealed the new box art for Yakuza 4. Apparently, it’s rare when a Japanese video game hits the U.S. market and the box art is cooler than the one released in Japan. It was so good that the fans requested a high res release of the art. A wallpaper for Yakuza 4 is now available for you to download, which is a testament to how damn nice the folks at SEGA are — plus they want to keep everyone on their toes until the official release in Spring 2011.
