Talking of Crytek, they've just announced a new game. It's looking to be aimed at Asian markets, a multiplayer shooter with the eminently shoutable name, Warface. And that's about all we know just now. It's in the CryEngine 3, as you might imagine, and if my Chinese is up to scratch, it's emphasising "positive versus" gaming.

Metro 2033 is out at the end of this week. Who knew March was the month for games? Dragon Age: Awakening, this, Just Cause 2... It's like it's November or something. So to celebrate its arrival there is of course a launch trailer, which in this case acts as a sort of best-of compilation of clips, finally reaching some in-game footage toward the end. Shooting!…
