The funny thing about inventing a genre of videogames is that, until it becomes completely played out, every game that emulates your formula is going to be attached to your name. Games that feature a wide-open, freely explorable world, for example, will have a hard time avoiding the label of "Grand Theft Auto clone," especially if their worlds are littered with vehicles to steal and drive. In the six years since Grand Theft Auto III, a slew of games have tried to become "the next GTA," but so ...

Kickass Scarface trailer hits

Xbox News | Scarface: The World is Yours

Tony Montana's second coming looks better and better every time we see it, having gone from a lame, ugly Grand Theft Auto ripoff to a slick-looking drug-lord simulation in the space of a year. The new Scarface: The World is Yours trailer is the best look we've had at the game yet, laying out the plot while treating us to plenty of screaming, cursing, explosions and flashy Scarface-style viciousness. Better still, a huge tiger totally mauls a guy. And it's apparently a pet tiger you can buy. ...

Second Sight snapped up

Xbox News | Second Sight

Expectations are running high for Second Sight. It's from the people behind the superb Timesplitters series, and clearly owes the FPS a visual debt. It's a more strictly plot-driven affair than the time travelling epic, though. You are John Vattic, the unfortunate soul who emerges from a coma at the start of the game. At this stage, you don't even know your own name. Total amnesia restricts your knowledge of events to a series of terrifying flashbacks: Siberia, covert operation - you know the ...

Serious Sam II screenshots

Xbox News | Serious Sam 2

2K Games has released some new screenshots for its upcoming shooting title, Serious Sam II. The original Serious Sam, while not providing much of a cerebrum workout, was crucially loads of fun thanks to the quick and simple action that gave you an almost never-ending stream of enemies to blast away, while running around like a mad loon. This frantic pace will continue this time around too, with developer Croteam promising to cram even more enemies on screen at one time. If non-stop, ...

Serious Sam II screenshot blast

Xbox News | Serious Sam 2

Following the that we posted at the end of April, publisher 2K Games has just released further images of the long-awaited mentalist shooting sequel. Serious Sam II continues the storyline of Serious Sam Second Encounter but, let's face it, the significance of the narrative is negligible when you've got 45 new enemy types to dispatch via the medium of relentless first-person arcade shootery. The game's seven environments house over 40 levels, across which you'll also be able to make use ...
