Only about three more weeks until Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising appears. Unless it slips again. But presuming it doesn’t, you can finally find out whether it’s better or worse than ARMA 2 on October 9th. In the meantime there’s a new video that apparently demonstrates the head-to-head multiplayer mode, showing how you can take control of either a USMC or Chinese PLA troop and then shoot helicopters out of the sky. There’s also a new collection of screenshots.

BioShock 2 fever has spread across the internets today, and we’ve made our own feverish contribution. (There’s really nowhere else to go with that – “disease”, “germs”, “snotty rags of ideas” – nothing positive comes of running with the metaphor.) There’s our speculation post after watching the game running, and there’s our interview with 2K Marin developers. Below you’ll find all eighteen of the brand new screenshots of the game, including a couple with the Big Daddy HUD in place. Click on them for fullsize versions to adorn your walls.

Asking around the RPS Castle chambers if anyone had anything to add to the news that there were some new Diablo III screenshots (click on the pics), Jim Rossignol immediately ran to the projection whiteboard and thoughtwrote, “there are two Diablo games, but now there is three of it.” This is the reason you visit RPS, and not other sites that apparently persist with existing. But look again, gentles, the inventory system has had a bit of an overhaul.

Yes yes yes, you said the RPS coverage of Left 4 Dead has so far been the greatest games writing you’ve ever had the good fortune to read, but why haven’t you been able to see an enormous selection of screenshots from the first two campaigns of the game? We heard your cries, and here they are. See below.

Three new screenshots of Champions Online have appeared today, each showing off the distinctive style the game, probably better than any others so far (apart from the one that’s apparently some logs). Click on them for a fullsize version, the other two below the jump, along with three other older ones we’ve not posted before. I’ve officially decided this game is going to be great. Cryptic, the pressure’s on. Official site is here.

You know what’s wrong with you? No, not you, the person behind you. Yes, you. You’re not excited about Spore yet.
I understand – the whole thing is so esoteric and fanciful that it’s tempting to assume it will simply be an over-grown character creator, but really, it’s so much more than that. Seriously, look at the video below. And then the latest crop of Cell Phase screenshots. (Click on the for giganticness).

Share ·Mass Effect has taken a slight slip. Joystiq helpfully noticed that BioWare community man, Chris Priestly, has informed the hungry masses that things will take three weeks longer. Originally set for what seemed an extremely prompt 6th May, it’s now due to be out in the US by the not unreasaonble 28th May, and over here in Europe by 6th June. This is due to BioWare’s “dedication to excellence”, we’re told, and will allow them some last-minute polish.
But what’s this, one post higher, to raise our cheer once more? It’s the first images of the all-new PC GUI – one of the elements that proves Mass Effect PC is more than your average port. Click for the fullsize version. And there’s three more, found by Joystiq, below.

Share ·It always makes me shudder slightly when a game is announced as “a new franchise”. First of all, look at you, Mr Big Head. We’ll just see if it’s a franchise after you’ve made the first one, shall we? And secondly, God, have some passion… Oh, it appears that’s exactly what Codemasters had planned for the rest of the announcement for their new game, Damnation.
(Click on the pics for full size impressiveness. They really do look rather spectacular.)
The oddly peach looking game promises to be the evolution of the shooter, the next generation of gaming, and the future of the planet’s hopes for freedom and peace. Some of these statements are lies I’ve made up. But see below for quite how excited Codies are about this.
