The story is quite simple and predictable: Tyris has lost all her loved ones to the evil Adder and now, she wants revenge. Both magic and melee weapons will be available to you and, the most important and interesting thing - lots of massive beasts to mount and fight against.The game already looks incredibly well and, even though many of us will still feel the need to play with that dwarf we had in the first game, Tyris will sure manage to get a few fans in the world. And when we think about the fact that the developers have already polished a great, huge, single player campaign (twelve hours of gameplay is what they call huge) and cool realistic dismemberment, we can only say that Golden Axe Beast Rider is already a huge hit.Achievements1.

I know Sony has anticipated a good market response for this game, but I'm sure it wasn't even hoping of making such a large impact on Europe (which is practically a nonexistent component when it comes to the console from Japan).Konami announced it had shipped over a million units to retailers across Europe and it has confirmation from all European territories that sales are going great and that it holds the first place in the charts. There is a hidden subtext which can be seen right in the first sentence: "Konami had shipped…". Now, we have to imagine a million games collecting dust across Europe in all territories. I'm kidding, I'm sure it sells quite well.In those "dusty" stacks of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, there are 25,000 limited edition sets (comprised of 'Making Of' Blu-Ray, soundtrack CD and 'Old Snake' mannequin). I have no idea why it has put Snake in there; it should have placed a couple of those hot girls that were posing for Snake in some trailers.

The latest update from the renowned developer brings the full list of songs to be available in Rock Band.For newcomers to the game, Rock Band has been confirmed to feature master recordings of any music game ever released by the biggest rock artists out there. The full list includes 58 tracks that span over every genre of rock.

The usual on-field routes that the receivers have in the game drawn on the surface of the playing field will be blurry if the crowd is really in it chanting for the other team, which means that you need to really use your memory to know the plays you are executing, as visual aids will be of little help. The pressure of the crowd goes up if you manage to win a lot of games in a row. As the number of wins increases, more and more fans show up for home games, making it very hard for the other teams to beat you on your home turf and some of the hardcore fans even go with you out on away games, making the pressure of the crowd more bearable.

And, even though we totally love Call of Duty 4, just like everybody else, we would enjoy receiving a better and greater game, so we truly hope they are right.Scheduled for a worldwide release in February 2009, Killzone 2 seems to be surpassing anything delivered on a console yet when it comes to graphical performance - true-to-life animations, realistic facial expressions and spectacular lighting or smoke effects are just a few of the advantages to be brought in for the exclusive PlayStation 3 title."The level of anticipation for the 2005 trailer meant that people expected the biggest thing ever to materialize, and what we've shown so far, at last year's E3 and today means that we're living up to the expectation," commented Steven Ter Heide, Killzone 2 senior producer, in a chat with website gamesindustry. "I'm not going to sit here and talk about the competition," Hermen Hulst added. "COD is a game that virtually everybody in the office has played through and completed.

However, in what will probably be no surprise for most of the PlayStation 3 console owners, it has been officially confirmed that Haze would have a "minimal", mandatory 4GB install (not the whole game). It only remains to see if this install makes the to-be-released title fly on the consoles or follows the rule set by the others (and started by Devil May Cry 4 a while ago): no visible performance upgrades after the install.The fact regarding the minimum install has been revealed on the official Ubisoft forums, along with other info. For example, in addition to the campaign, there will be 12 more multiplayer maps which will be made of two variants, each of six locations. Still, there will be no mapmaker, nor a possibility to upload maps in Haze (the developers said that they could add it but that would mean a one-year delay to the game - which sounds a bit too much, don't you think?). Still, what matters the most for gamers and fans worldwide is the way Haze will move and how the mandatory install will affect gameplay.

The game is set in a re-imagined universe, with little-to-no continuity with previous games. The setting is a redesigned Liberty City based heavily on New York City.

In 1999, it won the Kodansha Manga Award for general manga.The series has been adapted into several live action feature films, video games, and an anime television series. The anime began airing in Japan on June 8, 2007, on the anime satellite television network Animax, produced by OB Planning.The story gets its roots from the actual street racing that occurs on Tokyo's Shuto Expressway, one stretch of which is known as the "Wangan", literally meaning "bay side" (although it is generally used to refer to the freeway), the longest, straightest road in the entire country [3]. Of course, there's also lots of traffic to contend with, including a fair number of heavy trucks. Because of this, the action is inherently hazardous, and wrecks are common. Blown engines are also a frequent hazard, especially with the extremely high power engines.
