Which one would you choose?
The Cartel plans to bring Call of Juarez’ wild west gunslinging to the present day. Drug cartels replace cowboys and there will be three characters instead of two. In fact, the whole game will be playable in three player co-op. We might be getting our hands on the game sooner than expected in the form of a demo. Techland brand manager, Blazej Krakowiak, told ScrawlFX that a demo is definitely planned, saying that it will “probably a co-op demo, but I can’t tell you whether it will be before or after release.” For a look at Call of Juarez’ new direction, watch the latest trailer, or have a browse of the Call of Juarez: The Cartel site for more info.
Crysis 2 patch bins auto aim and tidies up multiplayer
Crysis 2 patch bins auto aim and tidies up multiplayer

The Witcher 2 is looking exceptionally pretty, and the devs know it, but will those huge fantasy vistas need a supercomputer to run? CD Projekt have released the system specs for The Witcher 2. You’ll find them below in full.
Greed Corp brings a whole new meaning to the words ‘resource management’. Here the resource isn’t gold, or geysers, or forests. It’s the very ground you walk on, each block of which can be mined and drained until it crumbles into the abyss. It’s this that gives the game a unique kind of strategy.
You need resources to build troops and buildings, but the harvesting of those resources limits your tactical options. It’s an inversion of the way classic RTS games play out: instead of slowly getting more powerful over the course of a game, you’re weakening yourself, just to keep up with your opponents. By the end of a match, you’re lucky if there’s more than one or two solitary islands jutting out of the nebulous clouds that blanket the distant ground.

The Sunday Video Pwn
The Sunday Video PwnHalf-Life 2 has a very special place in our hearts, so any opportunity to revisit it is a good one. Take a look at this trailer for Erik Rempen’s Ladder mod. It seems simple enough to start out with, but as the game progresses the intensity increases. This is down to the excellent implementation of destructibility; it’s almost like watching Bad Company 2 in the Source engine. The main tower collapsing is a notable “awesome!” moment. If you’d like to slaughter Combine in exploderific terrain, you should definitely download it.
Just having large, fire-breathing dragons that can burninate pathetic peasants on a whim is not enough for me. My fire-breathing dragons must be infused with unholy power and foaming at the mouth with bloodlust before I sic ‘em on the enemy—if we’re going to kill an entire civilization, we’re going to do it right, dammit. So I give my dragons drugs.
It’s tough to find a quality customizable card game (CCG) on PC—there aren’t a lot of them in existence, and only a few are worth playing. Thus, like a discriminate Lady Liberty, PC Gamer proclaims to the genre, “Give us only your best! Leave the refuse on your own shore and let the masses continue to huddle!”
EVE Online: A Future Vision trailer shows a future vision
EVE Online: A Future Vision trailer shows a future visionCCP Games just released this pre-rendered trailer depicting their vision of the future of EVE Online. It shows a lot of things we’ve known about for a long time, including detailed characters, explorable stations, and the interplay between EVE’s space war and ground battles happening in console action game Dust 514. It’s an almost staggeringly ambitious project, and although the trailer doesn’t show any actual game, it’s easy to get excited about its potential.
Every week, Richard Cobbett rolls the dice to bring you an obscure slice of gaming history, from lost gems to weapons grade atrocities. Today, prepare to have sex ruined forever by an erotic adventure that’s as much fun as discovering your childhood teddy bear has chlamydia.
Lula 3D features a warning label warning “Intense erotic scenes may lead to CHOKING, SWEATING, and RAPID HEART BEAT.” It wishes. It’s a game whose box proudly promises that “Bouncing Boobs Techology” lies within, clearly relying on its target audience not being in a position to call bullshit at the leaden, poorly animated mammaries awaiting their disappointed perversion. From start to finish, the only positive thing you can possibly say about Lula 3D is that at least it has the courage of its grotty convictions, earning its 18 rating with sex scenes and gratuitous nudity from the installation program on. But no, that’s not why we’re looking at it today. Oh, no. We’re here for the one thing it doesn’t promise – the most drugged-up, logic-defying road trip ever slopped on DVD.
