Check out an earlier look at the game HERE, which gives more detail on the dark narrative and various gameplay mechanics.

NEWS: Sega Reveals Alien: Isolation

Sega have officially revealed Alien: Isolation as a first-person horror game.

With lots of action generally tied to most Alien games, Isolation will provide a more stealthy approach to the franchise, whilst promoting first-person based horror mechanics. Instead of blasting through masses of Xenomorphs, the emphasis will be on survival using what little resources you'll encounter along the way.

According to the official website, players will take control of Amanda, the daughter of Ellen Ripley - the now 15 year old Amanda will "battle for survival, on a mission to unravel the truth behind her mother's disapperance."

The world will become "increasingly volatile" and players will often find themselves "confronted on all sides by a panicked, desperate population and undpredictable, ruthless Alien."

Alien: Isolation is to be released late 2014 on PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, and PS4 - check out the trailer below.

PREVIEW: Daylight - "Don't Look Back" Trailer

Atlus has uploaded a new trailer showcasing hints of the game's narrative as well as first-person horror gameplay.

Developed by Zombie Studios, Daylight will offer players a terrifying horror experience that utilizes the new Unreal Engine 4, which according to the videos description "enhances the visuals of your escape to freedom like never before, heightening every bone-chilling detail of your surroundings."

First of, we see a yet to be revealed woman wake up in a state of panic and confusion, and to make things worse - she happens to wake up in an abandoned hospital, complete with a huge Spider.

The hospital is said to have a "dark history" full of secrets that have been hidden away for many years - with only a phone equipped acting as the primary light source and means of navigation, it is up to the player to explore the vast building to eventually find a way out.

We see various paranormal goings-on in the trailer such as objects moving on their own and a very creepy ghostly figure that has every intention of creeping up on you to keep players on their toes.

One of the most unique features is the game's ability to generate different levels each playthrough, meaning environments will never be the same as the last, in turn this will make for massive replay value. Check out the new trailer below.

FEATURE: Keeping Halo 2 Alive!

Halo 2 has played a massive part in my social gaming life, it was one of the first multiplayer games I truly got into, and it is something that has a special place in my heart. When I found out in April 2010 the servers were going to be shut down for good, I was devastated. My all-time favourite online game would no longer be available to play, I know most people will say oh it's only a game but I was genuinely really sad about this.

That was until I found out the game would be released as part of the Games for Windows scheme, but I didn't have the appropriate specifications on my system, so again - pure disappointment. However, since then I have been able to install it on a better system, and it runs perfectly. When I plugged in my Xbox 360 controller, it felt just like the original Xbox version, and I was playing online constantly, having so much fun and relishing in the fact I can play Halo 2 yet again without any of that annoying Xbox Connect nonsense. 

It was reported that the PC servers would also be shut down in June 2013, which made me feel the same anger and disappointment I felt with the original servers, however they are still online and a big part of that is the support of the community, who have contacted 343 Industries themselves in order to keep the servers online, and being a part of a community like that makes me feel good as not only a gamer but part of a team that loves Halo 2 and wants to play it for many more years to come.

So, what am I actually getting at here? I'd like you to help me along with many others to keep Halo 2 going, to do this simply buy the game or download it legally (wink wink), and come play with the community, it is generally cheap to buy either way. From personal experience, I had massive problems with the downloaded version, so I would advise to just buy the disc instead, much easier and less hassle that way. 

You do need an Xbox LIVE account but it doesn't have to be gold, you can play Halo 2 PC for free which is something I really appreciate since I don't have gold any more. If you decide to join the community, please leave your GamerTag in the comments below and I'll be happy to add you and we'll run some games together.
