In the "games I didn't manage to play yet" collection, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition holds a special place. If you played it already, you know why. If you haven't, I won't tell you, because this is not about me or Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, but about the following "gold edition" of this game, entitled Lost Planet: Colonies. What about it? Screenshots!



Well, Capcom released a bunch of new high resolution screenshots, but there are also some details available about this upcoming addition to the successful PC and Xbox 360 title release in early 2007.Did I say something about the new things to arrive in Lost Planet? Oh, yeah, here's what you will get, apart from the new multiplayer maps and modes: four single player modes - FPS mode, Score Attack, Off-Limit, and Time Trial.

Other than the above, I should remind you that Lost Planet: Colonies is scheduled to be released in Europe and the US on June 6 and May 27 respectively. To find out more, feel free to visit the official Lost Planet website.

I don't know about the others, but sometimes I get distracted by very simple games for a long time. One of these games, apart from Minesweeper, has always been Pinball. I am talking about the one that comes with Windows, of course, so it's no surprise that I was delighted to find out about the game reelased today by SouthPeak Games, called Dream Pinball 3D!

As you can see in the screenshot above, this title promises to be "a dazzling pinball simulator [that] combines striking 3D graphics, realistic physics and a refined control scheme." Now, the game should be available in stores across North America already, but I guess I'll have to wait for a while until it becomes available in Europe too.

Melanie Mroz, CEO of SouthPeak Games, said "Dream Pinball delivers a dose of nostalgia along with a great price point that makes it a must-buy for any fan of the genre."

"Great price point?" Sure, m'am, you can count me on! The recommended retail price is only $19.99, and the game is available for Windows PCs, the Nintendo DS, and the Wii. For additional details, feel free to click and surf to the Dream Pinball 3D official site.

Did you enjoy Unreal Tournament 3? I know the story behing the single player campaign may not be brilliant, but who needs stories with such a game, after all? Well, no matter how much some people would claim that Unreal Tournament 3 lacks originality, the title is an excellent game, at least from the technical point of view. Unfortunately, it seems we won't get any other single player Unreal game in the near future...

In an interview with Eurogamer, Epic's Mark Rein said the new Unreal may arrive someday, but for now, there are no clear plans for a new title of the franchise. "I'm sure that at some point in our future we will make another Unreal, single-player, story-driven game. I'm sure at some point there will be one...[however] there are no plans to do one today," he said.

Anyway, in the near future Gears of War 2 may arrive, so all those Unreal fans will get enough things to do...
