With their Radar Intercept Officer Goose, players enroll at flight school to go up against the best for Top Gun honors. Following graduation, players fly into the danger zone with other US Navy pilots over the Indian Ocean, where they can shoot down MiGs, defend and attack bases and engage in large-scale dogfight battles. Top Gun also features five multiplayer modes, where up to sixteen players can relive the thrills from the film and interactively experience US Navy combat!

Battlefield Bad Company 2 Vietnam

EA just released a brand new trailer of their upcoming DLC for Bad Company 2. Looks sweet if you ask me and it will set you back 1200 MS. Onslaught, the last (and only) DLC for Bad Company 2 was not satisfactory and I do hope that this new download is not just a bunch of weapons and maps.

Developer : EA Digital Illusions CE

Publisher : Electronic Arts

Composer : Mikael Karlsson, Joel Eriksson

Series : Battlefield

Version : PC-553292 (June 30, 2010); PS3-1.04 (June 4, 2010)

Platform : Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360

Genre : First-person shooter, action

Rating : CERO: D

OFLC: MA15+

PEGI: 16

Media : Blu-ray Disc, DVD, Digital distribution

Plot :

The guys from Eurogamer were there, at TGS, and got to see Battlefield Bad Company 2: Vietnam in action. DICE is really trying to capture the sound and look of the Vietnam War as a wide selection of tracks from that era have been licensed, and the map showed by DICE features paddy fields surrounded by mountains, wooden huts and palm trees, just like Vietnam was looking back in the day (or at least what the movies showed us).

The Huey helicopter couldn’t miss from the first Battlefield Bad Company 2 Vietnam Trailer and will also probably be heavily featured in the game. Some of the new weapons (15 in total) have also been showed at TGS, like a classic, rusty and held together by bandages (SVER?) AK-47, or the new rocket launcher based on those used by the North Vietnam’s soldiers.

The engineers will get a PPSh 41 sub-machinegun and a blowtorch for repairs and medics will receive a new Vietnam-era heavy sub-machinegun and syringes (defibrillator replacements). The ammo-packs look like rusty tin boxes and med-packs have been replaced with rucksacks. C4 has been replaced with dynamite sticks and we could go on, but i guess you get the idea – DICE is doing its best to make Battlefield Bad Company 2: Vietnam look authentic.

System Requirements :

* Windows 98 / ME / 2000 / XP

* 933 MHz CPU or greater.

Bloodline Champions

The game is a PVP game with short, intense matches for up to ten players divided into two teams. Every player plays one of several different bloodlines with 7 unique abilities each. The unique and fresh gameplay ensures that every match is full of action.

Developer : Stunlock Studios

Publisher : Funcom

Version : 0.8.6.37 (beta)

Platform : PC, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7

Genre : Action

Mode : Multiplayer, Online, 2-10 players

Media : download

Plot :

Bloodline Champions, a new arena-based combat game from Stunlock Studios, asks only one thing of the player: to kill. Unfortunately for me, I am better at balancing bicycles on my nose than I am at pwning noobs, so I was a little hesitant in trying the game. I decided to puff out my chest and hit the download button. What I found was about what I expected, but made with care. The game is "tailored for esport," meaning that it is made to allow players to repeatedly knock the crud out of each other while racking up kills and stats. If you ever ran the World of Warcraft arena over and over in the hopes of filling out your wardrobe with "welfare epics," then you have experienced a game much like Bloodline.

There are several "bloodlines" to pick from, each with its own set of unique abilities, spells and looks. Many of the bloodlines compliment each other, and forming an efficient team of killers requires communication and dedication. During my stint within the arena, I found myself (and my team) being murdered over and over again by much more tightly knit gangs of players. After a match or two, the pattern and strategy of the members of the opposing team quickly became apparent: they actually talked to each other and discussed tactics. What a strange concept to me. I tend to come to fights somewhat randomly.

Features :

Bloodline Champions is a PVP game with short, intense matches for up to ten players divided into two teams. Every player plays one of several different bloodlines with 7 unique abilities each.

Different bloodlines in a set up complement eachother, different maps and gamemodes need different tactics, so good teamwork is a must for success.

Chance is not a factor, spells and abilities do a set amount of damage. Random elements such as critical hits and passive abilities do not exist.

Spells travel to where the player aims and can be avoided by enemy players, making every ability dependant on individual player skill.

Without mana and creeps, the game has almost zero downtime and is instead based on short cooldowns, this coupled with no grind or farming ensures that every match is full of action.

Ramping up in difficulty from hard to soul-crushing, Super Meat Boy will drag Meat boy though haunted hospitals, salt factories and even hell itself.

Along with the the management phase and mission briefing of the second mission. Includes the tutorial battle for Cyprus.

Release Date: Q2/2010

Platforms: PC

Publisher: Paradox Interactive

Developer: Neocore

Gamesite: Click here

Genres: Real-Time, Strategy

ESRB: NA

Plot :

It is time once again to grab your virtual sword and rush off to war, this time in Neocore’s Lionheart: Kings’ Crusade. Set amidst the epic struggle between Richard and Saladin, players are presented with a strategy game that focuses on tactical battles with some strategic RPG elements, including upgradable units and special heroes. Not quite an RTS, and not quite a Total War clone, Lionheart attempts to give players a strategic gaming experience during the Third Crusade, without tying them down to the historical outcome of the conflict.

The single-player campaigns, which include one for the Crusaders and one of the Saracens, present players with a map of the Holy Land, divided into various provinces. Each province represents a battle that must be fought on a specific map. Players have some latitude in which fights they choose, and winning specific battles brings specific rewards in terms of both cash and special units. Units gain both experience and special items if they manage to survive multiple battles, giving your army a unique flavor over time. This game mechanic also ensures that costly victories, which result in the loss of units, have an impact beyond the immediate battle.

Picture from Lionheart: Kings Crusade PC reviewThis formula is one we have seen before, but Neocore changes it by adding unique elements to each of the campaigns. When playing as the Crusaders, the player must choose to support the strategy of one of the four Crusader factions before each battle. Supporting a particular faction, whether it is the Papacy or the Templars, allies the player more closely with that faction for additional benefits. Not only that, but the strategy has a practical effect on the way the battle is fought, with both battlefield objectives and initial unit deployments changing based on which faction you support. This adds substantial replayability, since the same battle can be refought in four different ways. When playing the Saracens, there are no factions to support. Instead, there is an entirely different mechanic that involves the player choosing technological upgrades purchased by cultural development points earned for winning battles. In this way, the two opposing sides of the Third Crusade are differentiated by more than just different units on the battlefield. They have substantially different strategic issues with which they must wrestle, even as they attempt to triumph on the battlefield.

These gameplay options contribute to the open-ended nature of Lionheart. In fact, the game is not even restricted by the historical script of the Third Crusade itself. For example, the second battle any player will invariably fight in the Crusader campaign is the conquest of Jerusalem, which Richard the Lionheart himself never accomplished, to say nothing of the later opportunities to conquer Cairo and Baghdad. There are also political events that the player must negotiate between battles, which impact both economics and the direction you might take the campaign, in addition to the opportunity to gain relics and increase your Faith rating, which has both role-playing and gameplay effects.

Picture from Lionheart: Kings Crusade PC reviewLionheart certainly has a lot of things going for it, but there are a few issues that detract from its luster. There are some issues with optimization, where the game slows down inexplicably when zooming the camera on your armies during combat. While I understand that graphics use up a substantial amount of system resources, the graphics are not good enough to justify the drop in performance. I also have a small complaint about the interface. All units, and archers especially, have an indicator in the interface that shows their range/engagement distance; however, for archers, it is thin, red, circular line drawn on the map. It is rather difficult to see during the heat of battle, and, considering the importance of archery in most battles, I wish they had made the range of archers much easier to see. I also felt that siege equipment, including trebuchets and catapults, do too much damage to units on the battlefield. While there are some strict limits on the placement and use of siege weapons, it seemed out of place in a game of this kind, that siege weapons have a kind of Age of Empires effect on combat units.

* Play through two single-player campaigns – Crusader and Saracen.

* Oversee hundreds of soldiers in real-time epic battles.

* Command your forces, conquer territory, and expand your realm on a fully 3D map.

Indeed, it seems the only thing you'll get is in-game content that EA obviously siphoned off from the regular version of the game so that it could lock it out and charge extra for it in the Limited Edition.

Those who purchase the special version of NFS:HP will receive the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, Ford Shelby GT500, Audi TT RS Coupé, Chevrolet Camaro SS, Porsche Cayman S and Dodge Challenger SRT8 right off the bat. Most of those will still actually be available in the regular version of the game, but players will have to figure out how to unlock them.

Seriously, though, I call huge shenanigans on this thing actually being called a "Limited Edition," because there's nothing of value for a collector in this package. This is just EA being seriously cheap.
