GC 2008: Far Cry 2's Map Editor Revealed
Posted by Donster on: 2008-08-19 16:51:25 in category: First-Person Shooter News [ Print ]
Along with additional single-player impressions.
By Charles Onyett, IGN
We've put up quite a few previews of the game, but not until recently did we really get to experience the full game world, as before we were either seeing or playing sections specifically constructed for the demo. It's still not finished, but we still got a good sense of what playing the final game might be like. And, as a bonus, we got to see the map editor for the first time, which anyone who played Instincts on Xbox should remember fondly. With Far Cry 2, the map editor's functionality has been expanded and from what we saw, it looks as though the editor should provide players with plenty of opportunity to create a wide range of maps pretty easily on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

Call of Duty: World at War Leipzig Preview & Video
Posted by Donster on: 2008-08-19 16:45:39 in category: First-Person Shooter News [ Print ]
Exclusive hands-on impressions, new video footage, and 1UP Show feature -- it's a pre-Games Convention extravaganza.
By Andrew Pfister @ 1 UP
As someone who really appreciated and enjoyed COD4's impressive scripted events, I came away from this demo far less concerned about Treyarch's ability to replicate them. The tank battle in Peleliu and the Russians blasting the hell out of Berlin's streets to the background of a heavy, retro-industrial soundtrack are proof that Treyarch's on the right track. If it can keep that sort of consistency throughout the game, there shouldn't be much to worry about.

The new COD will feature something called competitive co-op. Find out what that means.
By Jason Ocampo, IGN
It was bound to happen sooner or later; having seen Call of Duty: World at War about three or four times now, Activision finally let us have a chance to actually play the game, a World War II shooter built on the 'Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare' engine. We got a taste of two-player co-op in the Pacific (the game supports up to four-player co-op in the campaign) as well as some Russian-themed competitive co-op.
