A massive action game...

Massive Action Game (MAG) - Final name to be determined
Platform - PS3
Release Date - TBA, 2009.

A PS3 exclusive, the game will utilize a new server architecture to support online battles with up to 256 players, with users divided into 8-player squads. Each squad will be led by a player who has advanced through the game's ranking system. Character statistics and development will also increase with frequent gameplay. The players most advanced in rank will be able to either direct the battle or participate directly in combat.

Basic battles will take place within ongoing, faction-based campaigns to encourage the player to actively play, with at least three factions being considered for inclusion; including American, European and Middle Eastern factions.

BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams
Platform - PC, XBox 360, PS3
Release Date - TBA 2009

Other than its title, nothing is known about the sequel/prequel to 2K's biggest hit of 2007. That's not going to stop us from looking forward to exploring Rapture once more.

The Beatles - (Working title) Platform - TBA
Release Date - Expected 2009.

Allow us some self-indlugence here. The Beatles may not be everyone's favourite group, but we're really forward to jamming along to some of the bands's most famous tracks.

The game will consist of songs from The Beatles, from their first album Please Please Me, and will be compatible with Rock Band accessories.

The game allows players to perform in virtual bands by providing up to four players with the ability to play three different peripherals modeled after music instruments (a guitar peripheral for lead guitar and bass guitar gameplay, a drum peripheral, and a microphone for vocals). These peripherals are used to simulate the playing of rock music by hitting scrolling notes on-screen.
