Sorry, guys. But you're all gonna have to wait till 2010 before you can get your hands on the beta for StarCraft II. Chris Sagaty of Blizzard has confirmed that the highly-anticipated demo originally promised for late this year has been delayed.

Another epic Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC) trailer has been revealed by Infinity Ward. The latest footage shows some special ops troops  performing a variety of missions from Russia to Washington, DC. Check it out after the break.

Finally, a game that everyone is definitely waiting for: Madden NFL 10. We' have some lackluster stand alone games the few weeks past, but not anymore. Starting this week, you're finally gonna get all the field action you've been longing for. Not only that, this whole week of August 9th to 15th seems to well-represented, with various games sprinkled all throughout the different days. Check out the list after the jump.

With the game breaking the 11 million mark last month and the unprecedented success of the 2 previous Map Packs, Activision and Treyarch have revealed today the first details of the upcoming Map Pack 3 for Call of Duty: World at War (PS3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii).

There are three things that I will forever be grateful to Russia for - vodka, Maria Sharapova, and the patriarch of puzzle games, Tetris. Today, June 6th 2009, marks the 25th year after it was conceived by its dad, Alexey Pajitnov. Tetris is more than just a game, it's an institution, an icon, and inspiration behind the hilarious Japanese Human Tetris game show. To celebrate this milestone, Tetris rights owner Blue Planet Software plans to unveil a motion-based Tetris game later this year.

It's a zoo out there this week, yes it is! We've got a better number of releases for April 19 to 25 compared to the past couple of weeks, and all I can say is Zoo Games is definitely on a roll. We've got 13 games in total listed here today, and three of them are all from the Zoo. What should be even more exciting, though, is the release of Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 and Excitebots: Trick Racing for the Wii. List awaits, it's all yours.

About a few months ago, Saber Interactive is a video game developer based in Saint Petersburg, Russia. They focus on first person shooter games. It released the game Will Rock in 2003, and is currently developing another game called TimeShift.">Saber Interactive's TimeShift for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC got pulled into the proverbial wormhole for some major design revamps. Aside from several tweaks to the game's mechanics and graphics, the team was also going to integrate the Havok 4.5 physics engine, which was hoped to bring out even more of the game's potential.

Now, in case you're wondering how the title's looking in light of its overhaul (and previous trailers), we've pick up a new gameplay trailer for your viewing pleasure - and it's just in time for E3 2007.

Currently published by Sierra Entertainment, TimeShift is expected to launch this Fall. Keep an eye out in case we hear more details.

When we say explosive, we mean it. We have another batch of screenshots and a trailer for World in Conflict to show you just how much.

Massive Entertainment's World in Conflict brings us an apocalyptic scenario. The Soviets risks nuclear war to stay in power and attack Europe and the US. America gets attacked and of course, that's where you come in.

In the trailer, we see a tank driving around what looks like a small town, looking for survivors. While that's happening, we see war raging everywhere. The screenshots on the other hand are mostly locales where the battles will happen (Russia, US, and Europe). The interface is also shown in a couple of the images as well.

World in Conflict is set to hit the shelves in September 18 this year. In the meantime, ogle at the screens and the trailer. Enjoy!

Saber Interactive is a video game developer based in Saint Petersburg, Russia. They focus on first person shooter games. It released the game Will Rock in 2003, and is currently developing another game called TimeShift.">Saber Interactive, the guys behind the Sierra's chrono shooter for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, was given an entire year to patch up a game that was reportedly plagued with "seven bugs." But following a year's delay, TimeShift underwent a complete overhaul.

 

In an interview with IGN, it has been revealed that the game's visual appeal took an "up close and personal" feel, sporting immense detail and darker theme than before. But that's not all. The game also endured the trashing of four entire levels, overall character redesigns, tweaking to time control mechanics and gameplay, integration of the Havok 4.5 physics engine and a painful revamp of the entire graphics engine.

But why go through all that trouble? That's because Saber considered TimeShift's old iteration as uncompetitive in a "post-Unreal Engine 3" world. Also Saber's Kyle Peschel explained that gamers didn't quite get the "Steam Punk" bit, and believes that they've done well with the new face of TimeShift.

A few of the maps have even been made larger. Physics have been improved that an enemy's gibs won't just fly over the place, they'll flip-flop and dance around until they land. New scripting made enemies more lifelike in their mannerisms, while Saber Interactive hopes to deliver the title balanced in performance and features over all platforms.
