Starcraft II



A beta for the highly anticipated game Starcraft II has been announced to be near completion, though Blizzard still won't disclose the date. The multiplayer elements of this game are nearly complete, undergoing only finishing touches now. The alpha stage of the game already has some new core features, you can read the Starcraft 2 Alpha Guide here.

Skate 2
If you were planning to buy this game and have both a 360 and PS3, get it on the 360. This game is suffering some intense frame-rate issues on the PS3 for some reason. Maybe EA will patch the game and be able to fix it but until then its a gamble at best. The game itself however has won numerous awards for its trick system, and is one of the best skating games to date, I'll be sure to inform you if a patch is released that fixes this problem.

MK vs DC
Downloadable content for the fighting game MK vs DC is under development, according to the devs, the DLC will feature new characters, each DLC giving you one DC and one MK character. This is all that's known thus far but its always nice to know DLC is on its way, its a good sign for any game.

Resident Evil 5
A Resident Evil 5 demo has been confirmed and will be released on the PS3 on February 3nd, so 360 owners are getting to try the demo one week earlier (January 26th).

Dawn of War II
Dawn of War II now has a confirmed release date, this amazing RTS will be unleashed into stores on February 19th, I personally can't wait for this game, it looks stunning. The graphics in this game are going to require a pretty decent computer, though exact system requirements haven't been released yet. The beta for this game starts at the end of this month, this should fix most of the major bugs that are able to be found before release. The game features destructive environments, customizable units, new custom heroes that grow as you venture into more battles and the same fast paced strategy fighting as the original. There are also a few new races including the Tyranoids and improvements to the original races. The video showing off the Tyranoids is below, if you'd like to learn more about the game or watch more gameplay/development videos click here.
