Creative Assembly talk about the exploits of Napoleon

British studio Creative Assembly and SEGA Publishing decided not to peddle, providing no means perfect Empire: Total War heavy patches, and fix all the flaws in the full extension. The new part of the cult series called strategic Napoleon: Total War and please us with his appearance in February next year.
As the name implies, in Napoleon: Total War you will learn about the most important military campaigns of Napoleon Bonaparte, who will be divided into three story campaigns - the first act takes place in northern Italy and Austria, the second - in North Africa and the Middle East, with the third - on the Europe. With this you can help as the legendary French commander, and take the side of resisted his armies. Will end as all the Russian campaign of 1812 and the Battle of Waterloo, but the outcome of these battles depends entirely on your accomplishments.
Advances developers are embedded in the updated game mechanics. In particular, change naval battles - among other things, you'll be able to patch the holes directly into the battle. Added to the advanced system of diplomacy, strategy maps augmented with many details, but the number of available military units are still dizzy - they will be more than three hundred species, with, say, Russian dragoons differ significantly from their British counterparts.
Right brains and incredibly voracious graphics engine Warscape, exasperate holders super gaming systems. The new physics, improved visual effects and post-processing colors and chiaroscuro add visual luster, but the appetite of the engine significantly reduced. At least, according to developers.
�Napoleon: Total War - it is an opportunity to become a real Napoleon: to solve the problems that arose before him, to win the battles that he won, and founded an empire equal to that which he built - or outdo the French emperor in all his undertakings - said Mike Simpson, creative director of the studio The Creative Assembly. - At the same time, the game will allow you to be on-site commanders, opposing Napoleon, and rewrite the history of the alternative scenario.
It remains only to add that the publisher Napoleon: Total War in Russia will make the company "Soft Club.

PES Us

For a couple of months before the release of Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 Konami finally submitted a list of fich games, focusing, of course, on the improvements and updates. We would, however, advised to treat him as to what it is - advertising zavlekalochke. While something of the new options may in fact be important and interesting.
It is difficult to say whether the possibility at any time to switch to the goalkeeper and his own parry penalty or eliminate one-on-one especially proud of the developers and the major contribution of the game in the genre, but (according to its creators), this had not yet been neither they nor competitors, but because there is something at least enjoy. All in all a good goalkeeper - it polkomandy, and thus the game will be a half better.
Manual control - cool, but the whole team hands still not enough, so Artificial Intelligence remains a critical element of gameplay. Developers once again attempted to straighten the brains stupid bots and say that we have achieved considerable success. In addition, significant attention was paid to the animation, and now the movement of footballers have become more realistic and elegant.
Control the ball and improve, players will now be able to move with him more precisely and accurately, which should reduce the number of unnecessary losses. In addition, the player now at any time be able to show a gesture that is in an excellent position, and it was a good idea to give him the ball. Perhaps even his boots really notice.
PES 2010 will further customize the game in detail the tactics and strategy teams. For example, will be able to simulate the manner of your favorite clubs - counterattacking Juventus or attacking and built on a brilliant ball control of Barcelona. In tactical settings can be used and specific characteristics of football players, discarded with specific stars. For example, the manner of the game, Fernando Torres (who incidentally, will decorate a cover of PES 2010), especially dangerous in the penalty area where he can, as if to break almost any situation and give help of a pass, called the "fox in the penalty area" and "hunter goals.
Develop further in the game and the use of brands "Champions League" and "League of Europe. Now, on the basis of these tournaments, you can create a master league and spend a full season with the strongest and most popular European clubs, thus offsetting the lack of licenses leading national championships.
Developers have confirmed participation in the promotion of games and other special projects of the stars of FC Barcelona Lionel Mesi, but more specifically about that promised to tell later. In selling Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 will do this fall (the developers did not specify when, but we think that in November) at the same time for all platforms.

Diablo 3, probably will not work next year

Very similar to what we can expect plenty of output Diablo 3 next year, but did not wait. Director-General of Blizzard Entertainment Mike Morhaime (Mike Morhaime) in the number of scheduled releases in 2010-the first called World of Warcraft: Cataclysm and StarCraft II, but about the next coming of the horned evil mention either forgotten or simply made it clear that it is in future plans does not appear. It is not that unpleasant surprise - rather, the lack of a pleasant, for the three megareliza in one year would have looked too good to be true.
In addition, the CEO of Sam's Paul (Paul Sams) reported that they are in talks about porting Diablo 3 on console, even though he did not specify exactly which consoles have in mind (giving a third "Diablo" for mobile phones!).

Aliens vs. Predator decide the fate of Colonial Marines

Publisher SEGA continues to play on the nerves of fans suffering shooter Aliens: Colonial Marines, on the development of which lint studio Gearbox Software. Now, after numerous transfers of release, it became clear that the game there are no exact release date, and its emergence into the world depends entirely on the success of the upcoming Aliens vs. Predator, which will delight us with his visit in February next year.
"I say this - it is unlikely that we will launch the second game in the universe" alien "six months after the release of Aliens vs. Predator, but the nine-month or even a one-year interval - quite acceptable for us. It depends also on how successful will Aliens vs. Predator in retail sales ", - said Mike Hayes, president of SEGA (Mike Hayes).
Thus, given that the release of Aliens vs. Predator will be held in February of 2010, Aliens: Colonial Marines can not wait for before 2011. However, as stated by the same Mike, the game would not only see the light, but most likely will acquire a relative - despite the recent closure of role-playing games in the universe Aliens, SEGA still wants to work towards developing the project "in explanation."

Mass Effect 2 for PC and consoles will be released simultaneously

BioWare (hopefully, finally) confirmed that the release of all versions of the blockbuster role-Mass Effect 2 will take place simultaneously at the beginning of next year. It has been stated the game producer Jesse Houston (Jesse Houston). According to him, they learned a lot from running the PC version of the first part and now with new knowledge and experience can afford to finish the development of computer and console versions simultaneously.
Recall that the console version of Mass Effect came out six months before the computer, and seems to experience was not very successful. Hopefully, forever.

Monks in Diablo 3

Be convinced the company Blizzard Entertainment declassified fourth class of characters in Diablo 3rd became a monk (Monk). Bald, bearded comrade impressive physique with a staff in his hands will be primarily ohazhivat enemies in melee combat, not forgetting the use of magic.
According to the developers, the monk is extremely fast, but at the same time fragile, and this contradiction must be significantly diversify the gameplay. The birth of this class - the reaction to requests from players to add character, which would require more skill from playing at the start. You understand that when choosing a monk tactics thoughtless attacks openly end in tears, so you need to intelligently combine all of his unique abilities.
Among them, say, "Way of the Hundred Fists" - a series of three lightning strikes, with the "composition" combo attack will change every time you use the skill. "Crippling Wave" - virtually the same, but with some reservations. If you use this skill the monk at first slow nearby enemies, then they will inflict considerable damage and consolidate results of the third shot. "Exploding Palm" is directed to a specific goal, which is slowly but surely giving tips. When the victim finally give the gods of soul, his frail body would explode no worse than a kilogram of TNT, which certainly be glad surrounding. The more energy suck the use of skill - the more powerful will be an explosion, so it should be sent exclusively to sturdy. The developers claim that a newcomer without any problems can always use the same skill, but the veteran likely will be combined to achieve maximum results.
Recently, we recall, Blizzard seriously upset fans of Diablo 3, stating that next year the company plans to launch two games - StarCraft 2 and the recently announced third expansion to World of Warcraft called Cataclysm. Diablo 3, alas, this list is not included.

StarCraft 2 collects stars

Those fans StarCraft 2 coming strategic hit from Blizzard Entertainment, has another reason for pride. Thus, recently it became known that the voiceovers Queen Zerg Kerrigan will be responsible Tricia Helfer (Tricia Helfer), known to all of Cinematography on the series Battlestar Galactica.
In addition, Trisha has been involved in the development of games such as Halo: ODST, Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, and Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. Release of StarCraft 2, we recall next year.

Evil and good are still on the other side

Continued uletnoy stories about the adventures of a pretty reporter Jade and kabanopodnogo (literally) Page's uncle on the planet Hillis again frozen. Beyond Good & Evil, Michel Ansel (Michel Ancel), in spite of all due to her delight, enjoyed far less insane popularity, as his as a fearless defender of civilization against the evil rabbits Reyman. So Ubisoft is still not yet decided whether to finish and release a sequel, or better to spit on the pleas of many fans and talent Ansel concentrate on something more profitable.
About Beyond Good & Evil 2 is known not too many. Michelle said earlier that the game will be much more diverse and rich in events, than the original, but did not go into details. Now, it is quite possible, and go makes no sense. ��, ��, �� . ��, �� , �� .� �� , ��-�� -��.
