Activision's World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions picks up where last year's game left off - namely, at the poker table.

With a brand new George Lucas approved story, some seriously next-gen technology and Indy looking cool as ice, Indiana Jones 2007 (a working title) ought to bring any right-minded individual out in joyful jitters. We ducked backstage into LucasArts' demo area and got a first look at the game in full swing.
We saw two levels - one showing off Indy's hand-to-hand skills and another on board a tram hurtling down the hills of San Francisco, circa 1939. The game features a system
For those who love racing of the two-wheeled variety, MotoGP has long been the benchmark for motorcycle racing videogames. Climax's Xbox series has always looked fabulous and played even better. And now its making the leap to the Xbox 360.
Before you get too excited, though, it should be pointed out that this is basically a gussied-up port of the Xbox's MotoGP 3, complete with a handful of new features and tracks. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but fans should know what they're

Activision has released a trailer for Spider-Man 3, the next-gen game for the last in the Sam Raimi films of the wall crawling superhero.
Sadly, there's a complete lack of in-game action on show in the trailer, but you do get the chance to see the new Spider-Man character model.
Developer Treyarch did a fantastic job replicating Spidey's unique powers in the last movie spin-off so we have high
Microsoft has released a new gameplay video and shots of Gears of War, its dynamic new shoot-'em-up for Xbox 360.
The new video shows how the use of cover is vital for surviving any confrontation with the Locust Horder - a race of creatures that have emerged from the center of the Earth with the destruction of mankind firmly on their agenda.
The footage also illustrates the incredible detail in the design of Marcus Fenix, the lantern jawed war hero that is leading the human assault on the
Is sci-fi Xbox 360 shooter Gears of War the next Halo (before Halo 3, anyway)? If our hands-on time with the game in a team deathmatch is any indication, we'd have to say “hell yes.”
In a special, extra-large room of its E3 pavilion, Microsoft dropped players into 4-on-4 matches between the human Cog faction and the alien Locust Horde. Play was round-based, like Counter-Strike; the match wasn't over until one whole team's forces had been eliminated. Players on both teams used the
If we had the money to make just one game, we'd go for the "living pinatas" theme too. Uh... wait, no. Be that as it may, that's Rare's next big thing, and you can find out for yourself just how bizarre and adorable it can be by clicking on the "movies" tab above. Don't blame us if it leaves you with a craving for
The classic cyberpunk RPG series is reborn as a brutal first person shooter. If you're not familiar with the series, it takes the world of classic fantasy - elves, dwarves - and blends it with a hard-edged future of powerful computer networks. The result isn't quite like anything else, and we expect the game won't be either. Check out the movie and find out for yourself - just click on that "movies" tab
