Mirror’s Edge is an upcoming first person action-adventure video game being developed by EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE) for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Windows-based PCs. Mirror’s Edge introduces players to Faith, a “runner” in a world where communication channels are highly monitored and the movement of human traffic is closely watched. When Faith’s sister gets framed for a murder she did not commit, Faith finds herself on the edge of the city, on the wrong side of the law. The cool thing about the game is that the developer introduces an entirely new concept of physicality that defies intuition, almost matrix like. In the game you get to see “true” first person view on hand to hand combat. You also get to perform string of movement combos, like running and jumping through obstacles and buildings in a sequence. Expect never-before-seen sense of movement and perspective, you will be drawn into Faith’s world. To be released in November 2008. [IGN]

Anno 1404 takes the long-running strategy series to the Far East. As with previous installments in the series, gamers will be tasked with establishing a civilization and then solidifying its position in history. The game will feature an improvement in the game’s graphics engine that is shown in intricate building details. In the beginning of your journey, you’ll start off with a ship and a few resources at your disposal. Once you land, you begin to build marketplace, allowing us to attract new inhabitants. We were also able to add churches and farms to attract more citizens. As your civilization grows, so will the demands and needs of your people, hence you get to grow more sophisticated building, farms and plantations, and also interact with other culture. For those who hate history and geography classes, after you play this game, you’ll gain an entirely new perspective. [GameSpot]

Mad World is a bloody, futuristic action game that involves alot of bare knuckle punching and kicking plus grabbing everything from chainsaw to pipe to hack and slash your way. The graphics will look somewhat like Frank Miller’s Sin City the movie. From a third-person perspective, the player controls Jack, a hulking brute with a chainsaw on his arm, as he competes in a violent TV show. Using the Nunchuk to move Jack, by gesturing the Wii Remote, players perform brutal melee attacks on enemies. Also Jack can use objects around the environment, such as impaling an enemy’s head with a caution sign in an ironic way. The game is not without controversy due to its violent content. However, in my point of view, nothing instigates curiosity more than controversy. Videos after the break. [Wiki] More »
