Brink – May 10th, 2011
XBOX, PS3, PC

Brink is a new type of first person shooter with an emphasis on instant action. Brink’s main premise is a squad based shooter where other players can drop in and out of games at any point. Since there is no difference between playing online or by yourself, your friends can drop in to replace one of the computer controlled players at any time. Teams compete to control objectives and complete missions created on the fly during matches based on the flow of the battle, who is playing, and what classes are being used. These flexible gameplay mechanics along with the ability to fully customize your character put a new spin on the social aspect of first person shooters.

Hunted: The Demon’s Forge – May 10th, 2011
XBOX, PS3, PC

Sometimes called Gears of War with swords and bows, Hunted: The Demon’s Forge is a co-op focused fantasy game using the Unreal Engine. Controlling either a hulking brute with a sword, or a nimble archer, players traverse through this dark fantasy combining abilities to defeat foes, as well as explore the environment. Much like Army of Two, Hunted: The Demon’s Forge was built for co-op gameplay, having the computer control your teammate when playing a single player game. Said to also include a rich story, this game is looking to be a sleeper hit in this year of blockbuster releases.

L.A. Noir – May 17th, 2011
XBOX, PS3

Developed by Rockstar, L.A. Noir comes from a pedigree of solid storytelling in open worlds. Rockstar changes things up with L.A. Noir though, putting players in the role of the law. Playing as a detective, players uncover clues, interview witnesses, and track down the criminals to solve everything from murders to traffic accidents. L.A. Noir is a slower paced game than usual Rockstar games. It it is said to play much more like a point and click adventure.

L.A. Noir uses state of the art motion capture technology to display some of the most convincing facial animations ever seen. With an impressive cast and a heavy emphasis on story, L.A. Noir is sure to be an entertaining dramatic experience.
