• Half-Life 2: Episode One trailer two (WMV, 17.3MB)
Friday 26 May 2006
Valve, the creator of Half-Life, recently zipped us across the globe to its plush headquarters, where we were given an exclusive session with one of the most anticipated games of the year, Half-Life 2: Episode One. We'll have a review for you next Thursday when the game goes live on Steam. But, until then, we've got a wodge of Half-Life content for your eyes to look at.
Episode One is the first in a trilogy of new
Will there ever be a point where we all just stop caring about these damn movies? You know you're going to suck it up and by the original trilogy on DVD this fall... which means LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy is probably on your shopping list too.
Weve got four new screens of the destructible, rebuild-able tikes from the game, so please, feel free to hit the images tab up above to check them
We got some curious footage of the Rayman development team apparently under siege by nefarious rabbits - or rather, "rabbids." We'd heard that Rayman Raving Rabbids was about bunnies wreaking havoc on the Rayman world, but we had no idea that they had escaped the development environment to harass real, flesh-and-blood people in France.
We've picked up a few new screens of these hateful hares in their "natural" digital environment (which Ubisoft has confirmed is Wii along with "current and

Valve's first move into episodic gaming is on its way as Half-Life 2: Episode One is prepared for download from Steam for 1 June.
Half Life 2: Episode One takes up the action where Half-Life 2 left off with Gordon Freeman facing the music and the Combine on the streets of City 17. But he's not on his own as Alyx and her robot, Dog, will be around to help.
Episode One, is the first of three new episodes that Valve will be
• Supreme Commander (MOV, 31.6MB)
Thursday 25 May 2006
THQ's new PC title Supreme Commander was, for many, the game of this year's E3, and this new trailer may go some way to illustrating why.
Developed by Gas Powered Games, Supreme Commander is a real-time strategy set in - wait for it - not the 35th, not the 36th, but the 37th century. Now that's what we call futuristic!
The Infinite War is raging between three factions, each one intent on being the supreme ruler of the galaxy and
This year's Electronic Entertainment Expo held more than its share of surprises - however, there are few in this year's Game Critics Award nominee list, released today. We're not sure how Heavenly Sword ended up in the Fighting game category when God of War II is Action/Adventure (the GamesRadar US ballot had them both in A/A), but overall, this is an excellent list of this year's best of the best of the best - at least at this point in their development cycles.
The graphically astonishing
We came away from E3 more impressed with John Woo Presents Stranglehold than we expected to be. This fresh trailer (just click the Movies tab above) should give you a pretty good indication as to why we were so giddy.
An interactive sequel to John Woo's classic action film Hard Boiled, Stranglehold picks up the story of Inspector Tequila; Chow-Yun Fat reprises his role as the twin-pistol firing, banister-running, chandelier-swinging cop declaring war on the criminal underworld. Woo's moves

EverQuest II fans know that Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling proudly counts himself among their ranks - his love for the massively multiplayer online role-playing game seemingly knows no bounds. Schilling will take the ultimate leap as a fan and actually enter the game as an villainous character in June. His appearance in the game is part of a charity event to raise money for ALS, the degenerative nerve affliction commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig's
