The world of Tyria – 250 years after the events of Guild Wars and its expansions. Much has changed in that time. Ancient and near infinitely-powerful Elder Dragons have been rising from their long slumber and causing chaos in the world. Humans and charr, who had been at war with each other for centuries, set aside their differences in light of the common foe. The lumbering norn have been forced to flee their homeland and seek refuge in the lower Shiverpeak Mountains. The diminutive but highly intelligent asura have risen from their subterranean abodes to join the dominant species aboveground. And a new species, the plant-like sylvari, have been born of The Pale Tree and seek purpose in this strange world.In addition to the now five playable races, the class and skills systems in Guild Wars 2 have been drastically updated. No longer will players be able to play as two classes. Instead, eight dedicated profession are available in three armour categories. Soldiers wear heavy armour, and are comprised of the damage-dealing warrior and the defensive guardian. Adventurers, in their medium armour, include the supportive engineer, the wily hunter with their pets, and the stealthy thief who prefers to lurk in the shadows before dealing damage. Finally, the light-armour wearing scholars are made up of the classic elementalist, the undead-summoning necromancer and the illusion-wielding mesmer.An all-new skills system ensures that players strike a balance between dedicated roles and versatility. On the character skill bar, the first five skills stem from the character’s equipped weapons (with different weapons granting skills based on your chosen profession); the sixth slot is a dedicated healing slot that ensures every character can take care of themselves; slots 7-9 are for tactical utility skills that are from either profession or race; the final skill slot is for extremely powerful elite skills.With new gameplay mechanics comes a new questing system. The lands are littered with public quests that dynamically shift based on their outcome by you and other players around you in the world. But those looking for a dedicated single-player (or party-based) campaign can play their own personal story.

Dubai is in ruin. A series of catastrophic sandstorms relentlessly batter the city, forcing its inhabitants to evacuate to survive. To aid with this, US Army Colonel John Konrad and his military division engage in humanitarian efforts, fighting to get the last of the civilians out of Dubai. Disobeying the order to stand down and abandon the city, Konrad and his crew instead opt to stay behind to protect one last convoy of survivors as they make their way out of the city. Before they can escape, a huge sandstorm engulfs the convoy. Dubai becomes a dead zone, and it’s assumed that there are no survivors left in the city.Six months later, a weak distress signal is picked up, originating from within the city’s devastated opulence. Sent by Konrad, it results in a Delta Force recon team being sent in to discover the fate of the Colonel, locate any survivors and report back. You are Captain Martin Walker, leader of the three-man team sent in to find answers. And what you find is something hellish.Spec Ops: The Line is a tactical military shooter that aims to show you the horrors of war and what true desperation does to people. Its explosive third-person shooter action will have fans of the genre instantly at home, but will present an experience unlike what most military shooters offer by having a dash of survival-horror flavouring added to it. The uniquely diverse and visually stunning location of Dubai is used to great effect as well, as are the sandstorms that continue to plague the city. The sandstorms affect gameplay in various ways, forcing you to find cover whenever you find yourself caught in their destructive path. Sand can be used as an environmental hazard with which to overcome foes. Sand piled against the tall glass windows of a skyscraper’s atrium, for example, can be piled on top of enemies to silence them forever and save a bit of ammo by shooting the window. Grenades that detonate on sand become impromptu stun grenades, leaving enemies blinded and dazed by the cloud of dust that’s kicked up.

Religion and espionage return to the excellent turn-based strategy on offer in Civilization V with its first full expansion pack, entitled
Gods & Kings. In addition, it’s set to include a throng of new trimmings and a reworking of the combat and diplomacy aspects. There’ll be 27 new units, 9 new wonders, 9 new civilizations to play
as, and 13 new buildings to erect.Religion is controlled using a new “faith” resource, with players
able to found their own religions and customise them (resulting in different benefits for your civilization) as they so choose before
watching them spread to engulf the game world by making use of various new units like missionaries. The diplomacy system now
includes the ability to construct foreign embassies and engage in espionage against other civilizations (using spies to steal
technology, rig elections and other such things). Two new types of city-states will be added – religious and mercantile – and they’ll
boast a new quest system and greater strategic importance.In addition to there being three new scenarios to tackle (including
“The Fall of Rome” and “Into the Renaissance”), there are many small tweaks that aim to improve the Civilization V experience: like
tweaked, smarter AI and enhanced naval combat.

Candy and Katy Perry go together like ice cream and chocolate sauce, so go ahead and live out this perfect combination with the next Stuff pack for The Sims 3. It’s called Sweet Treats for a reason: everything in this pack is all about candy and puddings, and everything is dressed up with Katy Perry’s very special style. The singer has even recorded a special Simlish version of her song Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) that sounds about
as over-the-top as you can imagine it would.Of course, there’s new content to look forward to: one new male outfit, three adult female hairstyles, three adult female tops and 22 new adult female outfits (some of them with multiple styles). A ton of new furniture and props are also available, eight new interactive objects (including a sandbox, swing set, playground slide and fireworks), decor objects such as lamps, wall hangings, a bookshelf, mirror, end table and even a banana split sofa. To round off the package, three new lots will be added to your neighbourhood to showcase all of the delicious new content: a public pool with liquorice-themed slide, a lawn park with candy playground equipment, and a new local hangout called Cake Pleasure Dome.

If player choice is important to you, then The Secret World
might be just what you’re looking for. Set in a modern-day
alternate version of Earth, it combines modern weaponry,
mythical creatures, magical powers and deep conspiracies
to give you a massive, dark world to explore as you wish.
Players will choose to side with one of three secret societies
to determine their fate: the London-based Templars who will
stop at nothing to eliminate evil in the world; the Illuminati,
who hail from New York, pride themselves on strength and
power and believe that only the strongest will survive in
these dark times; and the Seoul-based Dragon who consider
themselves neutral in the secret wars, but operate through
deception and sow chaos while they wait for their time to
shine.
The Secret World aims to allow players to play however they
choose, with no character classes or levels. Instead, players
will customise their character by choosing from hundreds
of powers (both conventional and magical), thousands
of weapons and a vast selection of clothing and visual
customisation to create their perfect character. They can then
move freely through the game’s storyline to discover new
tasks and missions at their own pace.

When the apocalypse is unleashed early, War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, is wrongly
blamed for its premature unleashing. Meanwhile, his brother Death learns of War’s punishment and refuses
to believe that War would knowingly bring about the apocalypse before the allotted time. This is where you
come in, in a story that runs parallel to the original game’s as you fight to clear War’s muddied name and find
those truly responsible.
As Death, adventure through a cascade of otherworldly environs filled with devious puzzles and deadly
enemies. Darksiders II promises many hours of action-packed gameplay, upholding many of the original
Darksiders’ ideals while simultaneously injecting many new and exciting features to call its own. Many of
the elements that couldn’t be included in the first game due to various development constraints are being
brought to gamers in the sequel.

The third film in the Madagascar series (Madagascar: Europe’s Most
Wanted) will shortly be upon us, and with that comes the release of
the inevitable video game tie-in. The game will follow the story of the
film (and even go beyond it) that sees Alex the lion, Marty the zebra,
Gloria the hippo and Melman the giraffe as they continue to struggle
to get back home to the Big Apple. Along the way, the group takes
cover in a travelling European circus which they reinvent – Madagascar
style.
The game will feature support for a single player or two players
together in co-op mode, and will take them across Europe to promote
the circus through the completion of a variety of wacky tasks given to
them by the equally out-of-place penguins. The group will perform
bizarre publicity stunts at a number of Europe’s most notable
landmarks. Of course, players can expect all of the series’ famous
characters to be along for the ride, including King Julien, Maurice and
Mort, the chimps Phil and Mason, plus their new circus pals Stefano
the sea lion, Vitaly the Siberian tiger and Gia the jaguar.

The LEGO-themed series of videogames by Traveller’s Tales continue to be churned out with alarming
frequency – not that we’re complaining, because they’re always charming, fun and family friendly titles.
The insanely popular LEGO Batman: The Videogame is soon set to get a sequel, one that will feature an
open-world gameplay style while still offering the same action and adventure that fans of the original
know and love.
The plot sees Batman and Robin joining forces with the Justice League to counter an alliance formed
between the Joker and Lex Luthor. Players will be able to smash blocks, collect studs and unlock a huge
variety of Batman-style content while playing as many iconic characters from the DC Comics universe,
such as Green Lantern, the Flash, Superman and Wonder Woman. There’ll be a total of fifty playable
characters, and all-new gadgets and powers to use in your battle against evil, such as Robin’s Hazard
Cannon, Batman’s Power Suit and Superman’s heat vision.
For the first time ever in the LEGO-themed games, voice actors will deliver dialogue and not just sound
effects. Two-player cooperative play will feature, allowing you to join up with friends and family to
journey through this heroic LEGO adventure together.
