STORY: A man-made floating city called the Ark, made up of hundreds of separate floating islands, is on the brink of all-out civil war. Originally built as an experimental self-sufficient and 100% “green” habitat, the reported rapid rise of the Earth’s oceans has forced the Ark to become a refuge for humanity. Crammed with the original Ark founders, their descendants, as well as tens of thousands of refugees, the Ark exists in total isolation from the rest of the world. With 25 years of social unrest, the inhabitants of the Ark have reached their breaking point. It’s up to you to decide the future of the Ark and the human race.

KEY FEATURES:

• Blurring the Lines Between Offline and Online - Advance your character’s development across every gameplay mode: single player, co-op, and multiplayer. Gain experience points that you can spend on customizing and upgrading your skills and abilities, designing an entirely unique look and feel for your character.
• Groundbreaking Kinesthetics - Brink uses the familiar shooter controls that you’re used to, without frustrating, artificial constraints and takes advantage of a new feature: the SMART button. When you press the SMART button, the game dynamically evaluates where you’re trying to get to, and makes it happen. No need to perfectly time a jump or vault, the game knows what you want to do.
• Context-Sensitive Goals and Rewards - Objectives, communications, mission generation, and inventory selection are all dynamically generated based on your role, your status, your location, your squad-mates, and the status of the battle in all gameplay modes. You’ll always know exactly where to go, what to do when you get there, and what your reward will be for success.
• Virtual Texturing – Brink’s proprietary technology, Virtual Texturing, breaks new ground on current-gen consoles and PCs with an even greater focus on highly detailed characters, realistic environments, lighting, effects, and atmospherics. This competitive lead on the squad-combat genre helps thrust players into the gritty reality of the Ark's epic secluded arcology.

Modern Warfare 2 video game to sell 11 million copies in 2 months...

Analysts expect Infinity Ward’s shooter Modern Warfare 2 to sell a massive 11.1 million copies during its fist two months.

Activision announced that the original Modern Warfare sold over 12 million copies in 17 months on the market. The sequel could beat that in a mere 2 months, because of Activision’s ramped up pre-order and marketing campaigns, plus the fact that Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 install bases have doubled since the release of the original Modern Warfare.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is slated for release on November 10 on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.

PlayStation 3 price cut could cost Sony $350 million

If Sony decide to cut the price of the PlayStation 3 by $50, Sony would slice $350 million from its profits. This is based on sales of 6 million units after the price cut has taken place.

There is no doubt that the PlayStation 3 is in need of a price cut, the PS3 currently retails at $400 and $500 — a lot more than the Xbox 360 or Nintendo Wii. Although a $100 price cut has been rumored for a while, Sony will most likely only cut $50 off the price, and possibly bundle one of the first party titles, like Killzone 2 with the console.

Xbox 360 console connot handle Metal Gear Solid 4 video game engine

Metal Gear Solid - rising will use a new video game engine because the Xbox 360 con not handle th Metal Gear Solid 5 game engine.

Metal Gear Solid: Rising will be using a new engine that Kojima Productions Team needs to craft to compensate for the Xbox 360 and the PC version. The game can still look better than MGS4 in terms of graphics, but they’ll accomplish this feat by utilizing their tools and understanding of the hardware more. It also conveys the imagery that Rising won’t be your conventional MGS title as previous entries were. Games are always improving and it's expected that Rising will surpass MGS4. The real question is why couldn't Kojima just optimize the MGS4 engine and go from there?

EAs Dantes Inferno tells an adapted story that focuses on delivering a blockbuster 3rd person action game experience while bringing Alighieris depiction of Hell to the medium. Players assume the role of Dante, who descends into Hell after returning home to find his beloved Beatrice murdered, with Lucifer seducing her soul into the underworld.

Players will take Dante through nine unique circles of Hell as mapped out and described by Alighieri: limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery. Each circle will showcase its own distinct look, with demons, monsters, damned and geography that are crafted straight from the poems vivid descriptions.

The game is being built by Visceral Games, with the same attention to polish the studio has become known for with Dead Space.
