PC News from N4G | Prey
PC - Prey - Prey: Hands-On It may not receive the same amount of attention as Half-Life 2 or Halo 3, but 2K Games' Prey has been on our must have list ever since we spied it at E3 2005. This bad ass looking FPS is probably not going to do much to advance its genre, but it's got just about everything we could ask for; slimy and evil looking aliens, lots of cool weapons, eight person multiplayer (a weak number, but we'll take it), and a different type of main character. It just looks like a fun game, and while we can't vouch for its single player campaign, we did go a few rounds with its enjoyable multiplayer component.

PC News | Test Drive Unlimited
We've got a clump of new Test Drive Unlimited screens to show off, but they've all got a common focal point: the AC Cobra supercar. Two Cobra models will be available in TDU for you to snap up and slot into your garage: the AC Cobra 289, whose top speed of 140mph would disqualify it from ever appearing in Project Gotham Racing 3, and the AC Cobra 247, which peaks at 180mph.
