Echochrome is a new and very exciting title coming to PSP and PS3 from Sony Japan. Its concept is very simple. It allows the player to move a tiny character through a labyrint of ledges and staircases by rotating the camera so vertical beams obscure gaps. The goal is to manipulate level design and solve puzzles.

The trailer is self-explanatory - you will be hooked just by watching it for a few seconds. I can guarantee you that myself! The game is scheduled for release later this year.

The second trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV has been released and it's called "Looking For That Special Someone". In the teaser we meet protagonist Niko Bellic and discover his attempts to track someone down. And a woman pleads at one point with him to stop the killing. Interesting.

We also get some glimpses of aspects in the game we've never seen before in the franchise. Like kicking in a door, shattering the lock and the real treat: watching from inside a car as bullets hit the windscreen and leave holes in specific places. Now this is going to be real eye candy!

Expect GTA IV to hit the stores on PS3 and Xbox 360 19th October in Europe!

Take-Two has confirmed Grand Theft Auto IV's release date - and the developers at Rockstar has promised that a new trailer is on track for a Internet release June 28.

The release date for Europe, including countries like the UK and Denmark, is 19th October and the Special Edition would also arrive at this point. The release of GTA IV will also have a beneficial impact on the sales of PlayStation 3, according to Take-Two's CEO Ben Feder.

I have just recently bought a PS3 and GTA IV is of course a must have when it's released this autumn. A new trailer will also arrive June 28. It's called "Looking for that special someone".

I have been waiting for years now and finally StarCraft 2 has been announced. It's in the works! And it's not a MMO but a RTS like the original. What's more the game will use "a custom 3D-graphics engine with realistic physics and the ability to render several large, highly detailed units and massive armies on-screen simultaneously."

And judging by the first gameplay footage there's one heck of a battle coming up.

Mike Morhaim, president and co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment, says:

"With StarCraft II, we’ll be able to do everything we wanted to do with the original StarCraft and more. We recognize that expectations are high following the long-running popularity of the original game, but we plan to meet those expectations and deliver an engaging, action-packed, competitive experience that StarCraft players and strategy gamers worldwide will enjoy."

There is no release date yet, but StarCraft 2 will ship with similar features to the original, including single-player and multiplayer campaigns, a powerful map editor and Battle.net support.
