From IGN: “Andonicos Kalogerou is a man devoted to science and the war against superstition. From his office in the historic centre of Athens, he has worked diligently for more than 5 years, travelling all over Greece and revealing the paranormal for what it truly is: drunken fantasies and uneducated hysteria. But his intelligible, safe little world is going to come crushing down when a call from Pheve, his adopted sister and fervent advocate of the mythic, informs him that his step-father is not only missing, but presumed dead as well.

With a heavy heart, Andronicos travels to the place of his childhood, high atop the Greek mountains, to bury an empty coffin and reunite with his quarrelsome step-sister. Little does he know that each step irrevocably brings him and Pheve closer to what Destiny has in store for them. For the death of their stepfather heralds the beginning of the greatest struggle between good and evil with the prize being nothing less than the very future of this world”.

This is the Theseis teaser trailer.

Finally, this is what we all have been waiting for … at least I have. What am I talking about? Well, the super hyped and graphically fantastic Crysis demo of course.Yeah I have talked about it before …a lot! And it’s coming a day earlier than expected.

Yes, you have read it right … the Crysis single player demo is now available here. The 1.77 GB download includes one single player level, and also allows you to look at the Sandbox2 editor
By the way …IGN has previewed it …and Yeah I know when it comes to over-previewed games, Crysis is probably pretty high on the list.

Even so, IGN were invited to come down to EA Redwood Shores again to step in and play the first three levels from this highly anticipated shooter:

“This was the first time that we’d been allowed to watch the cut scenes during the game and found that they definitely added to the overall atmosphere. They keep the perspective in the view of the main character, much like those in Half-Life 2, except that they take control away from the player to set up specific cinematic shots that happen through the character’s eyes. Crytek obviously didn’t want players to miss any of the quick and exciting moments that happen when the team of nano-augmented soldiers come up against the island’s other occupation force.”

I have told you about the club before, didn´t I? This is a racing shooter from Bizarre Creations,that went from PGR through Geometry Wars to The Club.

Bizarre Creations always likes to give the player a chance to compete against their friends on leaderboards, and give people a chance to prove they are the best, whether it’s the best in the world or just the best among your mates.

The main challenge with blending the best aspects of a racing title with a shooter is the length of the levels. We have a term we call ‘reboot racing’ in the office, which is that feeling that if you completely mess up a corner of a race, they write at their IGN blog. If you want to know more I suggest that you read the blog here >>

Spore will release in roughly six months time, according to its creator Will “The Sims” Wright.

“We have the game fully playable at this point and it’s in final testing”, Wright said yesterday in an interview with Radio 5 Live.

Spore’s an ambitious game, which he admits, that’s essentially a life sim. Players start off as a single-cell organism and then create their species at every stage of its evolution - from its first steps on land through to tribes then a culture and then finally it’s off to explore the galaxy.
