PS3, Xbox 360, PC - out 6 March
Set in a near future, this flight combat action game inspired by the best-selling Tom Clancy videogame franchises imagines a world where a private military force has cumulated such power that it attacks the USA. Thrust into the cockpits of incredibly powerful and technologically advanced jet fighters, gamers will benefit from hi-tech piloting assistance, providing comfort, security and enhanced perception. As players gain skills and confidence, they will be able to shed the assistance. But before choosing performance over security, they’ll have to weigh the risks carefully. From Teamxbox.

PRINCE OF PERSIA
Xbox360, PS3, PC
I personally grew up playing the original of this classic platform game and even back in the olden days it was terrific. Probably now taking a leaf out of the Assassins Creed book of gaming, I am expecting modern day gaming teams with completely solid gameplay. The game is said to be visually stunning and apparently the ease of controls make sure the whole experience is not tarnished in any way.
FABLE 2
Xbox360
We have been waiting for this game for what seems like ages. As is typical with a big release, the date was put back to keep us all guessing, but hopefully you have your pennies stashed away for what is the sequel to the ultimate role player game that has ever been. If you haven’t played the first, the Xbox is compatible with the 360, and even after all of this time, gameplay isn’t out of date. With developments since the first, we have hugely high hopes for this one.
