The 50’s were a wonderful era, the muscle car races, the accommodating ladies of fine gentlemen clubs and of course the rise of the Mafia in Empire City. Those were the days.

After the break are some new screen shots from 2K to continue the wait until later in the year when the game is expected to arrive.

With the approaching release of Capcom’s sequel to the groundbreaking Resident Evil 4, RE5 is definitely getting the red carpet treatment. With the demo being released near the end of the month on 360 and early February for the PSN, it was only right to whet the appetite even further by showing off the Limited Edition boxsets for each country.

Interpol: The Trail of Dr. Chaos is a puzzle game developed by TikGames released to Xbox Live Arcade. It was previously released for Windows and Mac OS X in September 2007.

A console RTS? Not a popular combination, it must be said. I’ve been very harsh in my assessment of such games in the past, so to have one dropped in my lap came as a bit of a surprise.

There’s no mouse, you see. The mouse is the single most important element of real time strategy. Console fans can argue forever about controllers, and how well they work in shooters, but for RTS there is no contest.

Or there was no contest. Ubisoft have thrown a curveball at one-eyed platform bigots like myself with Tom Clancy’s EndWar; a console RTS using voice commands – one that apparently actually works.

Scary thought, I know. The idea is that rather than fighting the controller, you simply tell your units where to go and what to do. After wondering briefly who they thought they were kidding, I finally slotted the disk into the 360 and fired it up. (more…)
