Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 Developer: Ubisoft; Publisher: Ubisoft Also Available On: PC, PS3 The first GRAW was a stand-out hit for the Xbox 360, and we know plenty of people who are still playing it months later - so the team knew that for the second game (or the fifth in the Ghost Recon series, but who's keeping count?), they couldn't afford to rest on their laurels. GRAW2 is promising dramatic real-time weather effects, even more stunning lighting, realistic smoke and gas effects and a host of other visual changes - but more importantly, it's also going to beef up the tactical side of the game, especially in terms of how you select your squad and the impact that has on the success of your mission.

Grand Theft Auto IV Developer: Rockstar North; Publisher: Rockstar Games Also Available On: PS3 Getting Grand Theft Auto to launch simultaneously on the Xbox 360 and PS3 is one of Microsoft's biggest coups of the last few years - and both consoles will even have a certain level of exclusivity, with unique downloadable content planned for each platform. As for the game itself, we don't really know anything, frankly. Everyone knows how Grand Theft Auto plays, but pondering over what Rockstar North is going to do with the graphical and processing prowess of the next-gen consoles is nothing but pure speculation. We're damned keen to find out, though - if this strikes the same kind of chord that previous iterations of the series have, GTAIV could be the biggest game of the year.

Haze Developer: Free Radical Design; Publisher: Ubisoft Also Available On: PC, PS3 Most famous for being "the guys who did Goldeneye" when they were at Rare, Free Radical have proved their worth with the comical but beautifully balanced TimeSplitters games, and the more recent departure into seriousness, Second Sight. Haze is another "serious" first-person shooter; set in the near future in South America, it sees you fighting as part of a band of mercenaries against an insane rebel leader who wears the skins of his captives as clothing. Nice. The graphically stunning Haze remains largely under wraps for now - but great things are expected.

Lost Planet Developer: Capcom; Publisher: Capcom Xbox 360 Exclusive Out of all the Japanese publishers, Capcom seems to be the one most willing to Jump In with the Xbox 360 - and having gifted it with the gloriously gory Dead Rising last summer, the firm's latest action extravaganza, Lost Planet, is also coming to the 360 exclusively in early 2007. Focused heavily on blasting Starship Troopers style bug aliens to kingdom come, either on foot or on board a mech, the game also promises extensive co-op and multiplayer support over Xbox Live.

Medal of Honor Airborne Developer: EA Los Angeles; Publisher: EA Games Also Available On: PS3, PC, Wii, PS2 The next version of EA's massive Medal of Honor franchise, as the name suggests, focuses on the airborne units - placing you in the boots of a paratrooper who is dropped into various war zones across the European theatre of World War II. Updated graphics are a given; the chief innovation that's been revealed so far is that you can control your descent in the parachute, and where you eventually land will affect how your mission plays out significantly.

Fable 2 Fable 2 is the sequel to Fable. Lionhead Studios, the parent company of Big Blue Box, officially announced the game during Microsoft's press conference at E3. The release date according to Amazon.co.uk is June 30, 2007 Amazon Link, although no confirmed release date has been given by Lionhead Studios. No storyline summary has been released as of yet. According to the E3 trailer, the game will take place in Albion, 500 years after the original Fable (according to PC Gamer UK Magazine). The time period appears to be more colonial than medieval, as evidenced by the characters' wardrobes and the presence of early-period firearms in some scenes. Peter Molyneux has given some hints, during an interview on G4, that Fable 2 will most likely have a multiplayer component.

Shadowrun Developer: FASA Studios; Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios Also Available On: PC (Vista) Starting out life as an astonishingly deep pen and paper role-playing world, Shadowrun is now the (very loose) basis for FASA's eagerly awaited multiplayer-only first-person shooter. Focused entirely on bringing both top-notch combat and the cyberpunk abilities from the Shadowrun universe into squad-based FPS action, the game won't have much to offer to non Xbox Live types - just offline play against bots, no campaign mode - but online, a combination of superbly creative abilities (seeing through walls, gliding, turning into fog and plenty more) with high-powered ranged and melee weapons promises one of the most interesting multiplayer experiences of the year.

The Darkness Developer: Starbreeze Studios; Publisher: 2k Games Also Available On: PS3 The last game from Starbreeze, Chronicles of Ridd*ck: Escape from Butcher Bay, was one of our top games of all time on the Xbox - so it's no surprise that we're watching their next-gen debut, The Darkness, like a hawk. Based on a comic series of the same name and featuring a young man with frightening demonic powers, The Darkness looks like being another massive success for the talented Swedes - and ever since he saw it earlier this year, Kristan hasn't stopped banging on about how great it looks.

Too Human Developer: Silicon Knights; Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios Xbox 360 Exclusive It's had a fractured and difficult development process - originally designed as a PlayStation RPG, then destined to be a GameCube game - but now finally appearing, as the first part of a proposed trilogy, on the Xbox 360. Being Silicon Knights, this graphically stunning third-person action title is more than it seems at first glance, too. Drawing on influences as diverse as Nietzsche and Norse mythology, the game places you in the role of Baldur, a cybernetically enhanced human (and coincidentally, the Norse god of light) who protects the human race from the genocidal urges of their own over-advanced technology. Four-player co-op play rounds out a package we definitely can't wait to try out.

Two Worlds Two Worlds combines the extremely dynamic and sophisticated combat system best known from the top selling “Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic” with the meaning and freedom of the acclaimed “Fallout“ series. A top quality Role Playing experience - The ultimate goal of the Two Worlds project is to deliver a superior Role Playing Game to the PC market where players have a real chance to shape the game world with their actions - to an extent that has yet to seen in other productions. This premise will be supported with a strong, non-linear storyline, mind blowing graphics, and stunning combat sequences. To attract the mass audience, the complexity of the game will be achieved mainly through a variety of meaningful choices while the User Interface will be simplified. Stranglehold Stranglehold, a third person, action/adventure game set in Hong Kong and Chicago, is being developed in collaboration with world renowned film director, John Woo. Featuring international action film star Chow Yun-Fat as Inspector Tequila, Stranglehold will feature much of the hyperkinetic, choreographed action and freeze framed sequences that Woo is known for. Star Wars: Force Unleashed [project codename] Shrouded in mystery, this secret Star Wars game is a next-gen entry around George Lucas' classic saga. This title was shown at E3 2006 as a "Force Power Pre-Vis" demo for a breakthrough next-gen Star Wars title, but exact details about the story and game design are still being held back. (Reported rumors to the contrary, particularly one about a rumored Darth Vader storyline, have been disputed by the developer.) THE END.... plz post your replies.... ;D cheers.
