Apparently the fans of the Gears of War have a new reason to be happy - a book explaining the pre-story (which lead to the situation presented to us at the beginning of the game) will be released at the end of August, this year. The title of the book will be “Gears of War: The Pendulum Wars” and gamers will read the legends that brought the fame to Marcus Fenix. There’s just one “catch” - the book will be written by Steven L. Kent, who reportedly has a reputation very similar to Uwe Boll’s - he does to literature what Boll does to movie adaptations of video games. However, I doubt that this will stop the true fans from getting their hands on this piece once it is out for sales.

Do you remember the old Thief game series? Assassins Creed has a relatively similar gameplay style, however it's a shame there's no PC version to it (although we might see this on the 12th of February). We know that a lot of gamers would have loved to play this title on the PC as well. It's the stealth-action that attracts a certain type of gamers who wish to explore the missions by using smart moves rather than brute force. For the moment, the PC gamers can only enjoy the HD video below, in wich the main character, Desmond Miles, shows us his climbing skills on a cathedral.

A lot of PS3 titles are expected at the beginning of this year to increase the sales of the gaming units made by Sony. Succesful games that usually have a higher number in terms of the sales are the ones that have a lot of adventure in the main plot. One such game is Uncharted: Drake's Fortune™, an upcoming title for PS3. The plot is relatively similar to the Tomb Raider game series: "a 400-year-old clue in the coffin of Sir Francis Drake sets a modern-day fortune hunter on a exploration for the fabled treasure of El Dorado, leading to the discovery of a forgotten island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. With thousands of unique animations as well as lush environments, the world in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune™ will be like nothing you have ever experienced before.(...)The search turns deadly when Nathan Drake becomes stranded on the island and hunted by mercenaries. Outnumbered and outgunned, Drake and his companions must fight to survive as they begin to unravel the terrible secrets hidden on the Island." Here's the video trailer of the game:

A lof of fans are wondering about what's coming next on the FEAR series. The video trailer below is 18 minutes in length and it presents tothe viewers what will happen in the following verion of the game: the sequel to F.E.A.R will pick up where the last game left off, with the mysterious Alma now having free reign, and her rage and supernatural powers threaten to destroy a major American city. The game will be  produced for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC; and it is sure to be one "creepy-scary" game at the time of the release. The video below has been encoded in very high resolution, 1920x1088, which means you should watch it in full screen (to see the details) and be patient while the buffer will reach 100% and the video will play.
