Brink [PS3] [Xbox 360]

[Sho]

A man-made floating city called the Ark, made up of hundreds of separate floating islands, is on the brink of all-out civil war. Originally built as an experimental self-sufficient and 100% "green" habitat, the reported rapid rise of the Earth's oceans has forced the Ark to become a refuge for humanity. With 25 years of social unrest, the inhabitants of the Ark have reached their breaking point. It's up to you to decide the future of the Ark and the human race.
Brink is an immersive shooter that blends single-player, co-op, and multiplayer gameplay into one seamless experience, allowing you to develop your character across all modes of play. You decide the role you want to assume in the world of BRINK as you fight to save yourself and mankind's last refuge for humanity. Brink offers a compelling mix of dynamic battlefields, extensive customization options, and an innovative control system.

This is looking to be a cracker, me thinks

I'm still not sure about this game. I mean, the actual shooting look pretty bog-standard, but it has the all the cool Mirror's Edge type free running to add to it.

Unless they bring out a demo and I find it to be amazing, I'll give it a miss. I'm not that big on multiplayer shooters.

 

[Hunter]

This game has been pushed back almost as much as Dre's Detox album. I remember seeing gameplay trailers for it over a year ago, even pre-orders for it over a year ago.

Looks interesting though, but I wouldn't dream of buying it unless the demo blew me away (if a demo will even be released).

I like the idea of customising your character via both on & offline development, that can actually affect your ability with weapons, damage and perks.

As you say though, the Demo will make or break it...

Played it at 2010 Eurogamer event in Earls court last year.

Tbh, ii'm p;retty darn excited, specially customization is well good for both you chracters and weapons.

Single player, co op & MP blands in well. One seemless experience.

Definite a day one purchase for me.
