The combat is definitely much more fast-paced than before. Death is more nimble and agile, utilizing an array of long-range and short-range attacks. The enemies aren’t slouches either, in those departments, and it’ll be interesting to uncover the best ways to defeat them.

On the other hand, the platforming aspects are quite solid. But that’s only the tip of the iceberg, as more and more gameplay videos are becoming available on their Youtube channel. Check ’em out and cast your judgment.

Yet another trailer shown at the Call of Duty XP Event.  The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 ‘Tango Down’ Trailer happened to be what they left the thousands of people with as the opening briefing of the event came to a close.  With all this news coming from the recent event, it makes me wonder if DICE or EA will hold something similar for Battlefield 3 seeing as how the two games are in direct competition with another.  Then again maybe EA feels they don’t need a fancy public event knowing they have a super solid title coming out October 25th while Modern Warfare 3 is set for a November 8th release.

Check out some off-screen footage of Mario Kart 7 which will be released later this year. Tell us in the comments section what you feel.

2K Games has release a 20 minute playthrough of the upcoming game XCOM which is a kind of hard to explain Sci-Fi shooter like no other. The narrated playthrough helps us understand the game more as well as the official commentary below.

Hey folks,

So we’ve been flying under the radar with XCOM, for about a year – and felt that it was about time to put together a little video update in order to lift the curtain on the reasons why.

2K Marin had just finished working on BioShock 2, and that game will always be deep in our DNA – but our first crack at adapting XCOM to a more personal, real-time experience was way too much within our creative ‘comfort zone’. It was kind of a run-and-gun affair, without a lot of focus on the command of your squad, or indeed on tactical play itself.

Candidly, it just wasn’t “XCOM” enough for the hardcore fans of the original games at 2K Marin, who serve as our creative conscience. So over the past year, we’ve made some pretty aggressive design changes, in pursuit of the feelings that we experienced when we played the original games. I’ll cover those in the video itself, but a quick note about story:

Narratively, XCOM is an all-new origin story in its own timeline; a deliberate reimagining along the lines of something like Battlestar: Galactica or Batman Begins. What that means in practical terms is that while we take narrative inspiration from the original games, we have also deviated in a couple of key ways. For example, our game is set in 1962 within the continental United States – at the moment the XCOM organization is formed.

We wanted to tell the story of the first man on the ground – exaggerating cold-war fears about invasion from within – via this alien threat for which there is no precedent. And we felt the best way to express that kind of intimate take on the XCOM universe is from that character’s perspective: limited information, overwhelming odds, and direct personal involvement.

In our XCOM, you play William Carter, Special Agent in Charge of field operations at XCOM. So as you start up the video, I’d like you to slip into his shoes as he reviews a piece of evidence which was discovered somewhere out there in mid-century America.

Hope you dig it – there’s a whole lot more to come.
