According to BF3Nation.com, Battlefield 3 is about to arrive and to be announced during the E3′10. Millions of fans are waiting for that sequel. But no news about the game have reached our hears. A few months ago, CEO of DICE “semi/confirmed the game being in development by saying that “Battlefield 3 will blow everyone away.””

But the rumors say that during the E3 2010 Battlefield 3 could be announced. And BF3Nation.com arrives with another clue: a dude has found a box art cover for Battlefield 3. It was directly on Ea.com.

This screenshot does’nt talk that much. And it can be a trap from the website to advertise itself.

The website analyses the picture:

“Also embedded in the “3” is a single soldier who is sporting (from what it looks like) a M60 machine gun (correct me if I am wrong) The box also includes a “Game for Windows” logo which might suggest PC exclusivity (which was predicted, but fears of ports still haunt our souls)”

Wait and see!

GTTV, GameTrailers TV focuses on Bulletstorm! Interviews and exclusive game footage are here for our pleasure! They quickly review the storyline of the upcoming game and the environment. They also explain what the concept “killing with style” means.

There is also an interview of Dr Michio Kaku about Portal’s black hole and the possibility to open a gate to another universe!

Here is a first view of the Resurgence Map Pack, 2nd map pack for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. This map pack seems to be equal to the Stimulus Package so if you enjoyed it: you will love that one too!

The Resurgence Package will cost $15 and will be available on June 3rd on Xbox 360 and in July on PS3 and PC. It will feature 5 maps among which 2 are taken from CoD 4 (Vacant and Strike).

We detailed the co-op mode in our last preview (click here) which will stare Point Man and Paxton Fettel. We had Point Man trailer and now it’s Paxton Fettel’s turn to have a dedicated trailer. We have then the game’s feature on video: Fettel’s powers and possession system such as the quick demonstration of the strategies proposed by the co-op mode.

Here are the beautiful new screenshots taken from Call of Duty: Black Ops developed by Treyarch: one of the most anticipated FPS. We have little by little a better idea of what CoD: Black Ops will look like and it sounds really great.

Call of Duty: Black Ops will be released on September 9th 2010.

This preview will, I hope, change a bit your mind after the previous trailer of FEAR 3. I mean, the previous trailer was a kind of terrible news for those who enjoyed the series: the shitty in-game footage mixed with a ridiculous real-movie action. More, the storylin isn’t more complicated than a super-genetically-modified-soldier fighting Alma the nasty ghost owith the help of his psychotic brother. However I must admit I feel much more enthusiastic by the gameplay than by the previous trailer and storyline seems a bit more complicated. Let’s forget it and start from the beginning.

F.E.A.R 3 lets you play Point Man, F.E.A.R 1 original hero wasn’t in F.E.A.R 2: Project Origin’s main character who was a totally new one (from the Delta Force soldier: Michael Becket). Alma, the main supernatural character, sexually trapped Becket to create a super-natural son such as Point Man and Paxton Fettel. Point Man is back to solve the situation, his angry-ghosted brother after / with him (Point Man killed him at the end of the 1st game).

We already know that another Call of Duty is set for 2011 and will be developed by Sledgehammer Games. This is an independent game, nothing to do with Treyarch’s Black Ops. We first thought it was a TPS, Third-Person Shooter, action-adventure-oriented which would have marked a rupture in the CoD series.

According to a next evidence the game will remain a First-Person Shooter genre: while recruiting for a new developer, a job listing revealed:

Sledgehammer Games is actively recruiting top industry talent to join the Call of Duty FPS development team.

Call of Duty will remain a FPS kind of game. Sledgehammer has to bring a new take in CoD series, Thomas Tippi, Activision COO told to LA Times:

“Today, we have three studios working on Call of Duty. We have Infinity Ward, which made Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Then we have Treyarch, which will be releasing a Call of Duty game in the fall of 2010. Treyarch also developed Call of Duty: World at War and Call of Duty 3.

And, most recently, we’ve added Sledgehammer in the Bay Area. We haven’t yet announced the content of their game, but it’s going to be an innovative take that will further broaden the audience for Call of Duty.”

Activision and Raven Software presents Time Manipulation Device of Singularity. This time, this new trailer plays the impulsion power which permits to shock enemies, to kill them or to make them weaker. You can also destroy parts of the environment with these impulsions.

Singularity will be available on June 25 on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Bear McCreary, a famous composer who scored the recent Battlestar Galactica TV series, has officially announced on his blog that he was preparing music for SOCOM 4.

This is not his first collaboration for a video game project, Mc Creary previously worked on Dark Void and 8-bit spin-off Dark Void Zero. For SOCOM 4, he said he was composing “muscially, a franchise re-boot,” about 8 hours of original score with “ethnic percussion, virtuosic Asian stringed and woodwind instruments, and the spectacular, other-worldly tones of the gamelan.”

McCreary commented that composing for a video game was a big challenge: “that a video game score that would feel as if it were being composed specifically for each player, adapting and shifting perfectly to capture the mood of the individual gamer.”

Thanks to Playstation Blog we have the very first video footage of the very anticipated Killzone 3!

The footage was originally in the background of an interview but with a bit of manipulation we have the footage in low quality but in blown up. The video is a PS blog’s chat with Guerrilla Games producer, Steven Ter Heide:
