Already hailed as the Killzone killer, Gears of War is the game that has launched a thousand clicks, but now it's time for a few million more as Microsoft has released two more brand new shots.

Gears of War is based around a team of hyper-intelligent
Microsoft, in the shape of Peter Moore, its vice president of entertainment, seems to have already conceded defeat to Nintendo and Sony in the battle for E3 headlines.
In a move already seen by many as an attempt to put a positive spin on what looks to be a quiet show for the Seattle giant, Moore said that "winning E3 is overrated; I won it at Sega in 1999 and 2000 with Dreamcast and see where that got me."

Big Pussy might have been dumped off the back of a boat, but you can live out his legacy. Except for the bit about squealing on your pals, anyway. Today, THQ announced that it has a brand-new game based on the HBO mega-hit The Sopranos underway. The game will hit the PS2 and Xbox 360 this Holiday

The gritty adventure sees gamers assume the role of mafia hit man Jackie Estacado who is possessed by a supernatural entity called The Darkness, which arms him with dark powers enabling him to really go to town on his enemies in really horrible ways.

With its nonstop explosions and free-roaming, destroy-anything gameplay, last year's Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction was an awesome - if often overlooked - riff on Grand Theft Auto. Today, developer Pandemic announced that it's expanding the Mercenaries world with Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, which will be officially unveiled next week at E3.
Pandemic's keeping a tight lid on details so far, but we do know that the sequel -planned for next-gen systems - will be set in "a new and

Yesterday, an announcement was sent out regarding a new game from Electronic Arts entitled Army of Two. Touted as the game that will redefine strategic two-man cooperative play, the release featured little information besides an excessive use of capital letters when referencing the word "TWO."
