The first game in the franchise, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune reinvigorated the adventure gaming experience, and now Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is all set to expand on that success with the addition of a brand new online competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes to compliment the solo campaign.

The game will feature up to 10 players in 5-versus-5 competitive gameplay and cooperative multiplayer mode, which will allow up-to-3 players to progress through a variety of environments by working together to accomplish set objectives. Using a party system, groups of players will remain together in ranked and custom matches while earning currency, which used in combination with currency earned in single player missions, will unlock additional content and upgrades. PS3 exclusive this one.



Title: Tekken 6
Developer: Namco Bandai
Publisher: Atari (Europe)
Release Date: October 30, 2009

Tekken brings the fighting series onto multiple platforms for the first time in the history of the Tekken franchise and will feature a host of new gameplay modes, features and environments.

Expect to see the return of many familiar faces and a host of new characters .Tekken 6 will allow players to participate in single or two player online co-op campaigns while experiencing intense action and large-scale battles. The Scenario Campaign features a unique hybrid control system combining conventional fighting game controls with free movement. This control system allows players to progress through the story and mow down hordes of enemies with relative ease while still enjoying fighting game action. In addition to hand-to-hand fighting, players have an arsenal of staffs, machine guns, flame throwers, and even giant robots at their disposal - a first for the series! As the trailer states: "Tekken 6 has evolved!" Looking good.
