Kotaku have recently got their hands on a demo of Silent Hill: Homecoming and they were impressed.

Although many themes seemed to be directly ripped-off from the SH movie (which some fans might be disappointed with), the gameplay, atmosphere and graphics seemed to impress the Kotaku guys.

Creator Peter Molyneux says a demo for Fable 2 is quite unlikely, partly due to the nature of the game. But on the plus side, a bunch of screenshots and a trailer have been released.

"The intelligence on SOCOM: Confrontation has largely been under tight wraps, with bits of information leaked here and there, mostly by way of the official SOCOM site. With E3 and other events quickly approaching, that should all change soon. To get us up to speed and ready for our impending time with the game, we fired off a number of questions to David Seymour, design director over at Slant Six. Here's what he had to say."

The creator of Devil May Cry and the former staff of Clover Studio (Okami, Viewtiful Joe, God Hand) back in 2006 formed Seeds, Inc, which later was renamed to PlatinumGames after a merge in 2007. Sega has recently announced its partnership with the development studio and announced three new games. One of which is a game called Bayonetta, an intense action game from the mind of the creator of Devil May Cry, Hideki Kamiya.

Some scans from Famitsu give us a peek inside another solid-looking sci-fi DS game (first Moon and now this!): Infinite Line. And for those looking for a little role-playing in their science fiction, this one comes with a lot of RPG flavour. The spin on the Active Time Battle system seems particularly interesting: the more full your gauge is in battle, the more actions you have available to you.

Got a Wii? Got the itch? Mad World will fix you right up. A bloody actionfest with a visual style ripped straight out of the Sin City graphic novels (but hey, who's complaining), it looks like Nintendo has loosened up a bit. Let's just hope there aren't any tearful moments featuring the musical stylings of Gary Jules.

The title is developed by Platinum Games (the developer formerly known as Clover), who created the similar God Hand, the Viewtiful Joe series, and Okami. A trailer was leake...

"It will have been over four years since the release of the original Killzone when Killzone 2 hits retail shelves in February 2009. In that stretch of time, PlayStation owners have endured delay after delay in hopes of one day finally getting the opportunity to sit down with the highly anticipated title in order to take down one Helghast at a time. One of the key components to taking down this dastardly enemy of mankind is the weaponry you’ll be equipped with. We’ve taken the time to display t..."

Ah, darts. The game where you throw pointy metal sticks into a board constructed of boar bristles. Well, it's coming to the DS in the form of Touch Darts, naturally supporting stylus control, and to be released in June. Agetec Producer Mark Johnson says the realistic action will quench the thirsts of "even the most hardcore dart fanatic." Mhm.

The most popular pokemon games, Diamond and Pearl are not going to be the best within then next year or so. Nintendo has finally given evidence that their next game, Pokemon Platinum will be making a possible debut within the next 2 years. Although the evidence is slim, it's still has a little to make it true. Looks like Opal won't be happening until after Platinum.

"Mirror's Edge, from the makers of the Battlefield series, is described as a first-person parkour-inspired action adventure game. We were still wrapping our head around that game-describing mouthful when DICE unleashed a brand new trailer, showing for the first time in-game footage in full flow. With the athletic Faith's exploits fresh in mind, we caught up with DICE's general manager Sean Decker following his presentation to media at Sony's recent PlayStation Day in London to dig a little dee..."

The first "Marvel Super Hero Squad" game is set to debut next fall. The squad includes well-known characters such as Spider-Man, Hulk and The Fantastic Four, with games geared toward 4- to 10-year-olds.

The multiyear agreement gives THQ exclusive worldwide rights to publish content for current and next-generation consoles, handheld systems and Windows PCs. The company said the deal strengthens its position in the kids video game market.

Marvel, which licenses comic book characters for f...

How could Pandemic possibly release another LotR game you ask? Well, by making it similar to their Star Wars: Battlefront games (in spirit) and calling it LotR: Conquest. This new title will allow players to fight in any of the battles in the Lord of the Rings series and have it go any number of ways depending on how well they do and a variety of other factors. Up to 150 characters (including Sauron) could be onscreen at any one time, and basically the entire Middle Earth universe will be you...

"Resistance 2 came out for its first public viewing at Sony's PlayStation Day in London, and we took the opportunity to try it out. While only a limited multiplayer demo, what we played left us with plenty to be excited about. Considering a good six months' worth of development time remains to polish and perfect things before this fall's release, the game already looks impressive, easily equaling the standard of the original. That amounts to no small feat for a game supporting 60 players runni..."

"Killzone 2 information has been thin on the ground throughout the game's development. However, Sony and Guerrilla Games threw PlayStation fans a bone yesterday when they not only gave media a chance to play the game, but finally ended speculation around its ship date. An intended February 2009 ship date in Europe was confirmed during the Sony keynote address. SCEE representatives at the game's booth were quick to point out that they could have had the game on shelves this year but chose not t..."

"MotorStorm may have been a brand-new franchise for Sony's PlayStation 3, but developer Evolution managed to make a flat-out success of its simple formula for destruction. In another bold move, the developer has decided to ditch the dusty environment that made the first game so iconic, in favour of a brand-new tropical island setting. This time, Evolution has taken inspiration from the islands of Hawaii, where volcanoes, waterfalls, and crumbling cliffs will act as all-new hazards for the vehi..."

"In our most recent hands-on with LBP, we’re busy creating a mock wedding, merrily slapping wheels and bunny ears onto an EyeToy photo of ourselves before rolling it down a hill to a chapel, where it will ‘marry’ a photo of a fellow journo, decorated with shells and vampire fangs

But that doesn’t explain what LBP actually is - it defies pigeonholing. Is it a platformer? Yes - there are stacks of platform-based Story Mode levels, as you leap from one end of the level to the other, avoiding t..."

Remember that Metroid II remake? Looks like a dude by the name of Von Richter is looking to outdo that version in just about every respect ("all my work, for nothing! Nooooo!"): the game looks smoother, flashier, the music is completely sweet, and it has more of everything. Titled Metroid: SR388 (referring to the planet it takes place on, which we first saw in Metroid II, and later, Fusion), the game doesn't appear to be based on any particular Metroid title.

A higher quality version of t...

"In Disaster: Day of Crisis you play as Ray, who a year ago lost his friend and co-worker, Steve. The story centers on Ray's attempts to rescue Steve's sister, Lisa, from kidnappers. His efforts are challenged by a series of natural disasters such as volcanoes, tsunamis, and hurricanes. On top of that, Ray has to foil a terrorist plot to set of a nuclear bomb.
Gameplay will work by moving around with the analog stick on the Nunchuk. The Wii Remote pointer aims whatever weapon or item Ray has ..."

"Namco / Bandai and BottleRocket Games have released some new screenshots showing off their beefed up reinvention of the classic Splatterhouse game. Nastier than a handful of bogies, Splatterhouse looks like it's going to live up to its name and its heritage by being gorier than a spanish bullfight."

"YOU wouldn't expect to find a videogame in the middle of an exercise convention – but at the Australian Fitness Expo, the place was teeming with technology.

There were virtual fighting machines, running games, and even an exercise bike that simulated the Tour De France. But the biggest stand was reserved for the most unlikely demonstrator – Nintendo.

The computer game company muscled in on the expo to exhibit its upcoming new game, Wii Fit. It consists of a series of minigames control..."

"Codemasters has one of the richest backgrounds in driving games in the industry. From dusty back roads of rally to the 24 hours of Le Mans, they’ve put it in a game. Now, like before with Dirt, they’re going back to the drawing board and coming up with more ideas to give hardcore racing fans something different to play. Grid, the reimagining of the ToCA series aims to put the focus of the driving game back on the driving.

If you missed out on our previous coverage, Grid is Codemasters’ sec..."

"The Soon To Come, Home Experience!
Home has been on many if not most of the Playstation Nations minds at one point in time but we are still months from the full release. However, the guys at Sony have been allowing lucky members to try there new Sims like simulation of there free application in the beta of Home.

Now I was one of the lucky few that have it and lets just say, it has evolved so much from when I got it (July 7th of last year). So many changes yet so much content being squeeze..."

"It's been a long time since anyone set foot in the relentlessly punishing town of Silent Hill. Before this week, our most recent preview dated back several months, nearly back into 2007, and no other outlet has seen or heard much since. What horrible shapes have been lurking in the darkness since the last time Konami offered a peek? We've got the answer, spread across three days of exclusive Silent Hill: Homecoming coverage.
