He shows you around and it isn't long before you start completing main story missions and gigs. This is where your quest to get out of the roach motels and into the penthouses truly begins.

This is Vegas! Or The Sims for lads

PS3 News from N4G | This is Vegas

PS3 - This is Vegas - This is Vegas! Or The Sims for lads

By Mike Jackson:

This is Vegas is a new open world game headed for PS3, 360 and PC in winter this year.

Midway describes the game as a "lifestyle action experience, where players will live out their Vegas fantasies by fighting, gambling, driving and partying their way through the most decadent, fast-paced and wildest city in the world." Sounds like a meatier version of The Sims - "one we'd actually play".

"When a powerful businessman begins turning Vegas into a family-friendly tourist trap, you must start your own powerful empire and resurrect the famous adult playground," explains Midway.

Midway & Surreal Next Big Title: This is Vegas

PS3 News from N4G | This is Vegas

PS3 - This is Vegas - Midway & Surreal Next Big Title: This is Vegas

Midway and Surreal reveal their next big title.

There's an original game in the works up at Surreal's Seattle studio that's looking to put the sin back in Sin City. Prepare yourself for a different approach to the open-world game. This is Vegas takes the oft visited genre and fills it with everything Las Vegas is known for: gambling, parties, fast cars and scantily clad girls. All of that and you won't even have to take out a second mortgage on your house to foot the bill.

Violent new Viking screens

PS3 News | Viking: Battle for Asgard

Want ultra violence? How about this: a muscle-bound brute being sliced in half and their innards on show. Seriously, see for yourself. Nasty.

We hope Battle for Asgard's as good as it's promising to be. It's out on PS3 and Xbox 360 at the end of the month. ...
