Multiplayer trailer for Avatar hits!

Posted by The Grevster on 25th November 2009

With only a few weeks to go till Avatar hits cinemas, publisher of the associated game, Ubisoft have just released the first look at the games multiplayer. Featuring an array of maps, battle features, gorgeous settings, as well as plenty of RDA versus Na’vi combat.

Judging from this video and the playable version at Eurogamer, I can't help but expect great things from this, and possibly banishing the fabled 'bad movie tie-in' label.

Posted by RaptorKraine on 24 November 2009

Every now and then a unique game concept comes by and surprises the masses with brand new gameplay, innovation and style

Seems like Activision could take note as it seems another Guitar Hero is coming out soon. Guitar Hero 6 is in the making, if Tesla's Bassist is anything to go by.

Now of course I can't make judgement yet, the game might not come out* or it might even take a brand new step in the music game industry*

For now though we'll add it to the ever-expanding Guitar Hero pile which is now getting a little bit beyond stale

• Guitar Hero
• Guitar Hero 2
• Guitar Hero 3
• Guitar Hero: Rock the 80s
• Guitar Hero: Aerosmith
• Guitar Hero: Metallica
• Guitar Hero World Tour
• Guitar Hero: Smash Hits
• Guitar Hero: Van Halen
• Guitar Hero 5
• Oh and Band Hero

About time we had a new Guitar Hero game to be honest

*Really?

Just Cause 2, the follow up to the sandbox game that held a place in many gamers hearts, is not that far from release. The new game boasts better gameplay, better graphics and a multi-environment playground.

Oh yeah, the date! Just Cause 2 will release in North America on March 23rd, 2010 with a release following in Europe on March 26th, 2010 Not such a long wait but it will be contesting against some pretty heavy titles such as; Mass Effect 2, God of War III and Bioshock 2.
