There's actually going to be a Risen 2?!
It's not a bad thing that there's going to be a second, it's actually a good thing. Risen is an Open world RPG that was released in 2009 for the PC and Xbox 360 and received decent reviews from metacritics.I played it myself and needed an RPG fix at the time. Dragon Age: Origins was still a month away and i was needed a filler to keep me busy while waiting. I wasn't expecting anything from this game but it surprised me just like how Two Worlds 2 did. It's a pretty decent RPG with minor flaws that didn't break the experience.
Risen 2 is being developed by Piranha Bytes and confirmed that it will be out on Xbox 360, PC and Playstation 3. Risen 2: Dark Waters is set several years after the end of Risen. Titans have devastated the world and pushed humanity to the brink of existence. Creatures have emerged from the sea and stopped poor boats from doing their business. You, the hero, must set out to stop the chaos.
Player choices will have an impact on progression and will unlock certain paths and will also affect certain features and additional skills your character can learn. There will also be an interactive environment and a full day/night-cycle affecting countless aspects of the game world.
Quite promising. They have no definite date but Risen 2: Dark Waters is aiming for a 2011 release on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Alice: Madness Returns Teaser Trailer
A third teaser trailer for Alice: madness Returns has been revealed and gives us a taste on the dark and twisted version of Alice in Wonderland. I personally think its genius. Alice in Wonderland to begin with is messed up. Just think of it as Alice in Wonderland minus Disney's influence.
Alice: Madness Returns is actually a sequel to the 2000 Windows and Mac game called American McGee's Alice and takes place eleven years after the events of the first game. Alice has been released from Rutledge Asylum and into the care of a London psychiatrist. Since she was moved somewhere else, her hallucinations gets worse. So she resorts going back to Wonderland hoping everything will be better. But she then realized that she has changed Wonderland because of her insanity and now must save her old friends and herself from this evil thats overwhelming Wonderland.
Alice: Madness Returns will be released on June 12 2011 on PC. Playstation 3, and Xbox 360.

New Battlefield 3 Gameplay Trailer
This is a longer version of the previously released trailers.
A small group of soldiers land in a wrecked city. You hear them having some light conversation, a short mission briefing and watch em run through the streets. Then the action begins.
I gotta say, from this small piece of footage, the graphics look intense. Movement and the use of motion blur looks really clean. The iron sights look pretty good and so does the combat. But how it plays will be a different story, we'll just have to wait. HUD is kept to a minimum, sporting a sort of digital feel which I have no problems with.
Hopefully more footage will be coming soon, Battlefield 3 is scheduled to hit shelves Fall of this year.
