Just like with Dead Space, I seem to be sitting in yet another awkward situation. Left 4 Dead will now be the second game that I have ordered and am left wondering why in the hell I did it. As much as this game looks awesome, I really can't afford the extra laundry bills that are going to need to be paid because I will be browning all of my pants on a daily basis. Well, at least I will be able to do it with four of my friends, but judging from the look and quantities of the enemies, I'm not entirely sure if that makes me feel any better. The game releases on November 18th, and maybe if I have actually mustered up the courage to finish Dead Space by then, I will actually put the game into my console.

Only 4 sleepies left until Gears of War 2 hits the shelves and indeed most of our disc drivers. To help ease the pain of the wait, or for that matter, possibly make it worse, we have a montage of a lot of the multiplayer maps, courtesy of IGN. The wait is almost finally over for the sequel to Microsoft's big hit of 2006. The only thing easing my pain at the moment is the barrage of big titles that came out this previous weekend.

I hope someone from Sony is paying attention this morning as a new fan based PS3 advert has hit the Internet and it is far better than the This Is Living series that was previously aired by Sony. Granted it needs a bit of fine tuning but it gets you excited about the console and what you can do with …

The graphic impact of Heavy Rain is truly staggering but there is still a huge question mark over whether or not the gameplay will be good or even exist at all. From what I have seen before the gameplay looks like it is made up entirely of quick time events and it looks like it’s more of an interactive story …

1UP Specials: Artist Formerly Known as CliffyB 1/3 Cliff Bleszinski talks about his start in the business with Jazz Jackrabbit on PC. It’s quite interesting to see how the Gears of War poster boy started his career in games. Part 2 of the interview is after the jump, where Cliffy talks about Unreal’s effect on the industry and how it’s …

When I first heard that a new Need for Speed title was on it's way, I wasn't incredibly excited to tell you the truth. I though that Carbon was a step in the wrong direction and I couldn't really bother to comment on what I thought of Pro Street. Underground is however, starting to make me take interest in the franchise again. The trailer is looking pretty fun and EA has even gotten Nissan to debut their new Nissan 370Z in the game. How the car still looked so good after slamming through a wall of cop cars is however, a mystery.

With the Mirror's Edge release date looking closer (November 11) and the demo now available on Xbox Live and PSN, EA has taken a rather strange move and released a trailer for the demo. Kind of like killing two birds with one running shoe. The trailer shows off some of the tutorial gameplay as well as a trainer that is helping our protagonist get back on her feet, almost literally. With some interesting music and editing, the trailer does it's job pretty well and has certainly helped maintain my curiosity about how this game is going to play at the end of the day. It's something different, I'll give it that much.

Last week we had an article shoot through the roof because PSM has said that Fallout 3 does not look as good on the PS3 as it does on the Xbox 360 version. Well to help us make our own minds up, GamesRadar have released a comparison video showing off the two version running side by side. I do apologise for the squashed video but it is the way that they have uploaded it, so it does tend to mess up the graphics somewhat. So take a look for yourself and let us know which one you think looks better. All I can say is that it's looking damn fine on both at the moment, regardless of which one people think looks better.
