One of the most anticipated games of 2010 is God of War 3 on PS3, it’s the latest game on the PS3 to really show case the power of Sony’s Console.
Recently a video has appeared on the Internet showing th first 10 mins of gameplay, check out the size of the bosses.
Heavy Rain for the PS3 has been making an impact in the Video Game press for quite some time now, ever since the first in game images started to get released with unprecedented detail shown in their graphics.
Heavy Rain looks incredible and is perhaps the closest game released to a fully Interactive Movie.
For a long time people were concerned about how well the game will play, and judging by the videos released so far, the game play looks to be based around Quick Time events, where the user has to select the right response at the right time. This type of game play is common but Heavy Rain takes it to a whole new level, and the story will need to be brilliant to keep the players attention.
Heavy Rain will be a big seller but only time will tell if it becomes a true classic or not.
Check out the IGN Video below to see how the game will play.

One of the most popular Amiga games was the classic Alien Breed. A top down shoot-em-up which captured the atmosphere and panic of the Alien Movie series.
It’s graphics and Audio were astounding for the time and it’s exciting game play set it apart from it’s competitors, especially in the third game in the series (tower assault) where the levels were non-linear and could be completed in several ways.
Now 13 years after the last Amiga Alien Breed game, the series is back. Set for a digital distribution release next year Alien Breed Evolution brings the series bang up to date by using the Unreal 3 engine. The game tries to remain true to its roots by delivering an overhead viewpoint (albeit from an isometric camera), and as this video shows, the gameplay remains true to the series and is certainly as tense as ever.

As technology in the home improves we are starting to see more and more examples of Augmented Reality in our lives.
Augmented Reality is where computer generated visuals are merged on top of real world images, and a perfect example of this is the new Playstation 3 game EyePet.
EyePet uses the PS3 EyeToy to grab a video stream of your living room and adds a virtual pet into the environment, who will integrate with you in a number of cute and amusing ways, for an example of this see the video below.
Whilst the game it’s self may be nothing more then a gimmick, it certainly shows how Augmented Reality is no longer exclusively available to the military and is now becoming part of all out lives.
