Need for Speed - SHIFT

Posted by Andrew in Game Zone

It's been a while since I've played any driving games on Xbox/Playstation platforms, but how cool does this new release of Need for Speed look!

Designed to deliver a true driver's experience that reflects contemporary motorsports, Need for Speed Shift is built by racers for racers. Need for Speed Shift delivers an authentic and immersive driving experience, replicating the true feeling of racing high-end performance cars like never before. Players are thrust into the heart of the action with immersive and exciting features including a stunningly realistic first-person cockpit view camera and an all-new crash mechanic, providing an unrivaled sensation of the speed and feeling of racing a car on the extreme edge of control.

 

How great does the in-car view look. The lighting and attention to detail is brilliant!

HALO - ODST Trailer

Posted by Alwyn in Game Zone

Halo 3: ODST's tale focuses on the legendary ODSTs or "Orbital Drop Shock Troopers" as they drop into the ruined city of New Mombasa, looking for clues behind the Covenant's catastrophic attack on the city.

The new campaign chapter predates the events that unfold in "Halo 3" and gives players a new perspective through the eyes of a new hero in the "Halo" universe. New multiplayer maps ensure that the award-winning Xbox LIVE experience of "Halo 3" continues to thrive.

Make sure to check out Playstation - The Official Magazine's discussion with James Cameron who offers up some amusing quotes that are classic Cameron such as "The movie comes out December 17th and I'll be working on it until midnight December 16th." Cameron also discusses the issues with movie to game conversion and it's lack of success in the past, "Ha, we're definitely trying for minimum suckage! It occured to us that we're using game tech for the film . . . low-res assets running in real-time, so we're virtually producing the movie using a game engine in principal, so we should be able to use those assets."
