The new Tomb Raider is looking really gorgeous and if the last title is anything to go by then we can officially say that the Tomb Raider series is looking good once again. In this trailer that will probably be frowned upon by Animal Anti-Cruelty as well as a couple of Hippies, we get to see Lara laying down the "pwnage" on some poor Tigers that were probably suffering from starvation and just needed some food to survive. There is of course the thought that the tigers may be controlled by the bad guys, but that's just silly because I don't know about you but I didn't see any lasers strapped to their heads.

This years convention at Leipzig brought forth a ton of new content for us to check out and also showed off a lot of games that we can all be looking forward to in the future. It must be said that Sony definitely cleaned up this time around and had a very strong showing. So then, what were the best games shown at Leipzig this year? Eurogamer have posted up a full list of what games they thought were the best in each category and also included runner-ups.... Best Single Player Game: Heavy Rain I still don't entirely know if this game it going to deliver on what is being promised by the developers but I do still think that the game has massive potential and could prove me incredibly wrong. The fact that the developers of Heavy Rain were responsible for some very good and under-appreciated games, namely Fahrenheit (Project Ego) and Omikron make me definitely want to give them the benefit of the doubt. Runners-Up Dead Space Fallout 3 Mirror's Edge Resident Evil 5 Best Multiplayer Game: LittleBigPlanet This game is looking like a sure fire winner long before its even hit the shelves. So much hype and buzz is flying around about this game and I have had more than a handful of people tell me that they are looking to buy a Playstation 3 just to play this game. The combination of all the features that this game is offering means that both casual and hardcore games will be able to enjoy hours of fun and multiplayer and sharing goodness.... Runners-Up Left 4 Dead Warhammer Online Battlefield Heroes Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 Best new IP: LittleBigPlanet What more can I say.... Runners-Up Heavy Rain InFamous Mirror's Edge Spore Best Visual Impact: Heavy Rain There is no doubting that the visuals in this game are looking mind-blowing.... It's all looking super realistic and may be the first truly cinematic experience that we will see on a console. Runners-Up LittleBigPlanet MadWorld Mirror's Edge Prince of Persia Best Comeback: Street Fighter 4 With a great new look and visual style, Street Fighter returns for another go. I really respect that the developers, while switching over to some very smooth 3D graphics, have decided to keep the gameplay the same as the old 2D versions and only tweak and change a system that has been popular for an incredibly long amount of time.... Runners-Up Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts Operation Flashpoint 2 Diablo III Fallout 3 The line up is looking pretty good and Sony really seemed to bring as much as they could to the table this time around.

Matt Peckham over at PC World has put together a chart showing us the ‘real’ price difference between the PS3 and the various Xbox 360 models before and after the upcoming American price cut.

Normally when a game breaks the million barrier you can pretty much bet the house that you are going to see a sequel to it. However this time it may not be that simple. Yes Ninja Gaiden 2 has just sliced through the millionth customer worldwide but with their fearless leader, Itagaki, now in court with Tecmo things are not …

With the release of the very heavily anticipated release of Gears of War 2 drawing nearer and nearer a lot of buzz is going to start going around really soon. To help kickstart some of the buzz, some new screens of GOW2 have been released on the net for us all to drool over and they are looking might fine. It still never ceases to amaze me how the screenshots looks so much smoother than what the actual game looks like when its playing on a screen in front of you. Either way, its looking as good as we have all been led to believe. Check the screens out after the jump.
