In the Warco, you control a journalist filming and traveling through war zones.

The game itself — the title of which is actually short for “war correspondent” — follows the story of journalist Jesse DeMarco. Players will experience the process of filming conflicts, going into dangerous situations armed with nothing but a camera. They will then edit the footage into a compelling news story. The scenarios range from intense bursts of action to quieter moments as you discuss the events of the day with fellow journalists in a hotel. Though the main mechanic will be filming the action, Warco is also very much about choice.

Capcom revealed the first gameplay video of Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 playable character Phoenix Wright, and I can say without fear of hyperbole he should be in every fighting game ever. Forget the awesomeness of the comparatively tiny lawyer beating up the foes like the Hulk, the guy throws the book at his opponents — as a move. He literally throws “the book” at them. He also throws damaging evidence, attacks by walking forward while writing notes, and, of course, says “OBJECTION!” so powerfully the word balloon brings his foes to their knees. And that’s just his regular special movies; the hyper combos include a judge bringing a very large hammer of justice down, and then Wright proving his opponent guilty (of what, I’m not sure) which is awesome and becomes infinitely more awesome when it’s used on characters like Doctor Doom. God help me, between Phoenix here and the still-in-all-likelihood-happening-but-as-yet-unseen Rocket Raccoon, I may have to pony up for this thing. I don’t even need to play it. I just want to own it.

Somehow, this is the first official in-game footage of Hitman: Subtitle which has been released to the hungry eyes of the public. Feast, feast!

As Adam worried in his preview t’other week, old 47 doesn’t appear to be quite so silent an assassin as he once was, but it’s good to see he’s still playing fancy dress in between punching people and shooting people and throwing people and choking people.

Well, that was far too short. Also, is 47 Batman now?

The publisher has announced Super Star Kartz, a kart racer starring characters from Dreamworks films including Shrek, Madagascar, How To Train Your Dragon and Monsters Vs Aliens. It will be released for DS, 3DS, Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 before the end of the year.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the next chapter in the best-selling Call of Duty First-Person Shooter action series.

Modern Warfare 3 is a direct sequel to the previous game in the series, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The game will continue the campaign storyline in which the U.S. forces struggle against an invasion by the Russian Federation following the framing of an undercover U.S. agent in a terrorist attack on Moscow.

The game will not only contain classic Call of Duty multi-character control, but Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 contains deep multiplayer support, including two-player Co-op Survival mode. The game will also contain all-new Kill Streak categories and customizable strike packages that offer you more options to find the style that fits you best.

Crysis for Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network is a modified and enhanced version of the award-winning single-player campaign from the original Crysis.

The original Crysis debuted as a PC-exclusive game in 2007, and it quickly became the gold standard for unattainably high-end PC gaming. This was a game that brought most gaming PCs grinding to a halt unless you reduced your graphical settings. One thing was clear at the time of the game’s original release four years ago: Crysis wouldn’t work on a console. Or would it? How things change, eh!?

Seeing that picture could have put all kinds of ideas in your head, which is why I didn’t make the headline cruelly vague. What it all actually denotes is Gordon Freeman’s rather surprising presence in the Steam version of Renegade Ops, Avalanche’s top-down, four player vehicle-based destructathon. Gordon will be driving his buggy and he’s bringing some antlions along to use in a special attack. Oh, Gordon, you’re so science. Avalanche did promise some extras for the Steam version of the game after delivering it to console-dwellers before we PC folk and it’s good of them to follow through on that promise. They’ve even given us a Gordon-specific trailer along with a release date: October 14th.

I’m presuming there will shortly be confirmation that Renegade Ops takes place in the Half Life universe.

PC version of Croteam first-person shooter revival pushed back a month, still no update on Xbox 360 and PS3 release windows.

If there’s one thing Serious Sam isn’t so serious about, it’s keeping appointments. Devolver Digital and Croteam today announced the second delay for the PC version of Serious Sam 3: BFE, pushing the game’s launch back to November 22.

The PC game was originally announced as a summer release and then issued what would turn out to be an equally erroneous October 18 launch date. There is still no word on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions of the game, which were announced for summer but have not been given a new release window.

A prequel to Serious Sam: The First Encounter, BFE takes place in 22nd-century Egypt amid a collapsing civilization beset by unearthly beasts. The game sees the return of the series’ signature adversaries like the Headless Kamikaze and Gnaar, as well as new opponents going by names like Scrapjack and Khnum.

Serious Sam 3′s gameplay also features a number of additions, with Sam in particular getting an assortment of new melee moves. Additionally, up to 16 players at a time can play through the game’s cooperative campaign mode.

Okay, here it is: the first Syndicate trailer. Heavy on the dubstep and men in trenchcoats. Gosh, this makes me realise that the original Syndicate came out in the era before there were generally trailers for games.

- No waving policeman?
- HUD elements at 0:34 look interesting.
- Gosh, they meant that “breaching” enemies thing, at 0:40.
- 0:50: wubwubstep!
- 1:03: a boot stamping on a human face. Forever?
- I like the casually shooting people at 1:16.
- Some men certainly get shot.
- No sign of co-op yet?
- Logo is a bit weak. Looks like Any Old Action Movie font.
