Army of Two made into film

Universal Pictures will bring this action-packed PS3 game to the big screen. The story will be penned by Scott Burns who wrote for Bourne Ultimatum to create a "Smart Thriller". We've seen what Bourne Ultimatum has to offer and we can say there's no need of worrying (until they get the director that is). Army of Two has been in our targets long since its release. Not to worry, we will someday!

Max: We are talking about a game listed in X-play's top 5 games for real men!

We would love to catch this film in action. This won't be the only game that will be adapted to film. You still got BioShock (Gore Verbinski of Pirates of the Carribean fame), Halo, The Sims (yes, that game too) and possibly Dead Space too.

Army of Two.. a real men's game

Bioshock 2 releases in multiplatforms

First time I played Bioshock on the PC was such a sweet memory. The plane crash.. then entering Rapture.. this is how First Person Shooters should be: Very Cinematic. Already, you can find Bioshock for the PS3 in the mall (it's about time)! I get to see all the amazing visuals again, fight Big Daddies and commit kid murder, shoot masked freaks and immerse myself in the Chaotic world of Rapture in HI-Def!Time to save up.

Now Bioshock 2: Sea of Dreams is coming to the PS3! Here's the trailer for the anticipated sequel.



Even the title logo made me cry T_T..

Mirror's Edge

Free running in First-person, now that's cleverly thought of. These are one of those games that catch you by surprise. It has stunning visuals and a neat looking way to play the game but best of all, you got a looker as a runner.


You play as Faith, a courier in a world where communication are all monitored. You send important messages by foot and with her free running and acrobatic skills you will have to run through the city's rooftops to marked positions in high speed. Your sister is abducted, your parents were political activists and your job is criminal activity. Not so fortunate in Faith's case as she gets chased by the city's local enforcement. You are initially unarmed but luckily Faith has some martial arts in her belt. Use your skills to dodge bullets and disarm enemies.

This is Faith's city.. you're city.

What caught me most was the color scheme for the city, which was white and impossibly clean. Looking at it made me forget that this city is screwed up as how Faith explains it. Though, it reminded me of Japan. (Ladies and gentlemen, if Heaven on Earth existed, it's Japan). It's so clean and wide, its almost useless to dirty it with footprints. I wonder if the game will be non-linear. Will it give you freedom to roam around the rooftops? Or better, it's not limited to rooftops?

Maybe not one for those who are afraid of heights

I like the rush of adrenaline on heights, like Spiderman 3 or SSX3. The level of detail and complexity proves the difficulty of this game. But I believe the main importance of the game should be control fluidity. Will it be as easy and smooth as the trailer portrays?

Check it out.

Velvet Assassin

Based on a real life Allied Secret Agent, Velvet Assassin tells of a female agent named Violet Summer, after Violette Szabo, as she progresses through missions behind enemy lines.

This is stealth game set in World War II. How many games are there with you going all 'Tenchu' with Nazis? That's why I like this game.

Another HOT assassin


Here's a video from the game developer on his thoughts on Velvet Assassin.
