As a mercenary, Scar quickly finds himself in the middle of a war of factions over territory, artifacts, and power. It is up to the player to find out on whose side Scar has the greatest chance of prevailing. Just like its predecessor, Clear Sky perfectly captures the sinister atmosphere within the death Zone. DirectX 10 support enables spectacular graphics, including dynamic transitions between day and night with absolutely realistic light effects, as well as very detailed landscapes and lifelike animations.

Special attention was given to realistic, independent thinking and actions of the NPCs. The artificial intelligence from the predecessor game was strongly improved, so that foes and allies now make their own situation-based decisions that impact the further course of the game. For instance, the outcome of battles is not predetermined. Only in the last few levels is the player guided towards a given end of the story, which leads to the events described in Shadow of Chernobyl.

Those inclined towards the side of good may fight for the Armies of Order as an obstinate Dwarf, noble High Elf, or loyal human soldier of the Empire. Those inclined towards darker deeds may side with the sinister Armies of Destruction as a savage Greenskin (Orc or Goblin), corrupt Dark Elf, or marauding human worshipper of Chaos. Realm vs Realm (RvR) combat takes place on three fronts where ancient foes wage an unending war – Dwarfs vs. Greenskins, High Elf vs. Dark Elf, and Empire vs. Chaos. Players begin the game fighting their ancestral enemy, but are free to journey to other fronts to help their allies in their ongoing struggles. The ultimate goal in Realm vs Realm combat is the sacking of an enemy's capital city. To do this, an army must invade and take control of the opposition's homeland. Deciding battles take place on objective-based battlefields and in instanced scenarios - point-balanced battles that make use of non player character mercenaries known as Dogs of War. For the first time, Warhammer Online's Realm vs Realm system integrates both Player vs. Player (PvP) combat and Player vs. Environment (PvE) quests on the same map. Every aspect of the game, including Player vs. Environment missions, are geared towards the greater war in some important way. However, players are not required to participate in Player vs. Player combat, and may aid in the Realm vs. Realm war effort and enjoy the game in its entirety via Player vs. Environment content.

Its broad appeal and loyal The Sims community has vaulted the franchise to an impressive 98 million games sold around the world and translated into 22 different languages. Celebrated for its creativity, humor, and community, The Sims franchise has become a global and cultural phenomenon since its inception in 2000. Now, The Sims 3 is being designed to be the next-generation flagship game from The Sims Label. “In The Sims 3, Sims can go beyond the boundaries of their home lot, and immerse themselves in an open, living neighborhood, interacting with other Sims using our new deeper personality system,” said Rod Humble, Head of The Sims Studio. “It is this type of open-ended gameplay that inspires endless creative possibilities. In addition the new goals and rewards systems will give players of all kinds from core gamers to storytellers the ability to enjoy long-term gameplay.” New Seamless, Open Neighborhood—Explore the Neighborhood Freely. See the sights with your Sims! The new seamless neighborhood architecture allows your Sims to roam freely around the neighborhood and visit their loved one and friends—or foes. Discovering other Sims homes and families, traveling around to new locations like City Hall or the local park will create a whole new way of life for your Sims. Storytelling options will multiply as your Sims stroll downtown to meet new acquaintances, head across town for lunch, spy on their neighbors and bump into the boss when they least expect it. New Create A Sim—Create Any Sim You Can Imagine. In addition to the open, living neighborhood, the all-new Create-a-Sim interface will feature easy-to-use design tools that allow you to make truly detailed Sims that are more realistic than ever. Create-a-Sim gives you the incredible freedom to customize just about any Sim you can imagine. From thin to full-figured to muscular—everything in between and even the extreme! In addition to determining your Sims body shape and size, you will also be able to fine-tune every feature on their faces, customize their hair style and select their skin tone, all from a vast selection of options. With so many choices to choose from, it is fun to create more realistic characters that look like you, someone you want to look like, or even a famous personality. New Realistic Personalities—Every Sim Is A Unique Person, With A Distinct Personality With the innovative and proprietary Realistic Personality System in The Sims 3, you can attribute each character with five distinct personality traits, helping shape your Sims behavior and how they interact with others and their surroundings. This new system will empower you to create extremely complex and diverse in-game personalities. Will you create the nosy, inappropriate, kleptomaniac grandmother who loves to meddle in other people’s business? Or the commitment-phobic, hot-headed punk rocker whose rude nature and childish disposition keeps him from scoring a date? In The Sims 3, Sims will go beyond the basic set of day-to-day needs to be distinct individuals with multifaceted personalities, who can focus both on short-term opportunities and long-term goals. With a wide selection of personality traits to mix and match, more than 700 million combinations of Sims await. You never know who’ll meet in The Sims 3! New Unlimited Customization—Everyone Can Customize Everything! New and accessible creativity tools in The Sims 3 make it simple for anyone to customize anything, anywhere! From floors to flowers, fashions to sofas, wallpaper to window shades and more, The Sims 3 gives you all the flexibility and options you need to be the architect of your dream house or explore your interior design skills to outfit your ultimate home. Your Sims can make home an ultra-deluxe mansion, a cool bachelor pad, family’s dream home or charming cottage. The choice is yours in The Sims 3. 2009-06-04 http://www.vurp.com/games/The_Sims_3/ TBD pc One player 1508 PC Activision 2009-06-10 http://www.vurp.com/games/Prototype/ TBA pc 1532 PC SEGA The world's top tennis stars are hitting the courts again as SEGA's best-selling tennis series smashes back into action on PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® and PC - Virtua Tennis 2009 will be arriving in May 2009.

New Vegas. It's the kind of town where you dig your own grave prior to being shot in the head and left for dead…and that's before things really get ugly. It's a town of dreamers and desperados being torn apart by warring factions vying for complete control of this desert oasis. It's a place where the right kind of person with the right kind of weaponry can really make a name for themselves, and make more than an enemy or two along the way. As you battle your way across the heat-blasted Mojave Wasteland, the colossal Hoover Dam, and the neon drenched Vegas Strip, you'll be introduced to a colorful cast of characters, power-hungry factions, special weapons, mutated creatures and much more. Choose sides in the upcoming war or declare "winner takes all" and crown yourself the King of New Vegas in this follow-up to the 2008 videogame of the year, Fallout 3. Enjoy your stay. 2010-10-31 http://www.vurp.com/games/Fallout_New_Vegas/ TBA pc 1648 PC 2010-11-02 http://www.vurp.com/games/Apb/ TBA pc 1 1957 PC LucasArts The Star Wars® Saga continues with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, the highly anticipated sequel to the fastest-selling Star Wars game ever created, which has sold more than seven million copies worldwide. In Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, the world was introduced to Darth Vader’s now fugitive apprentice, Starkiller—the unlikely hero who would ignite the flames of rebellion in a galaxy so desperately in need of a champion. In the sequel, Starkiller returns with over-the-top Force powers and embarks on a journey to discover his own identity and to reunite with his one true love, Juno Eclipse. In Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, Starkiller is once again the pawn of Darth Vader—but instead of training his protégée as a ruthless assassin, the dark lord is attempting to clone his former apprentice in an attempt to create the Ultimate Sith warrior. The chase is on – Starkiller is in pursuit of Juno and Darth Vader is hunting for Starkiller. With all-new devastating Force powers and the ability to dual-wield lightsabers, Starkiller cuts a swath through deadly new enemies across exciting worlds from the Star Wars films - all in his desperate search for answers to his past. 2010-11-03 http://www.vurp.com/games/Star_Wars_The_Force_Unleashed_II/ TBD pc 1997 PC 2010-11-09 http://www.vurp.com/games/Call_of_Duty_Black_Ops/ TBA pc 2000 PC 2010-11-15 http://www.vurp.com/games/Bulletstorm/ TBA pc 2001 PC 2010-11-15 http://www.vurp.com/games/Call_of_Duty_7/ TBA pc 2002 PC 2010-11-15 http://www.vurp.com/games/Captain_Blood/ TBA pc 2004 PC 2010-11-15 http://www.vurp.com/games/Dead_Space_2/ TBA pc 2005 PC 2010-11-15 http://www.vurp.com/games/Fable_III/ TBA pc 2007 PC 2010-11-15 http://www.vurp.com/games/Jumpgate_Evolution/ TBA pc 2009 PC 2010-11-15 http://www.vurp.com/games/Lara_Croft_and_the_Guardian_of_Light/ TBA pc 2011 PC 2010-11-15 http://www.vurp.com/games/Medal_of_Honor/ TBA pc 2013 PC 2010-11-15 http://www.vurp.com/games/Portal_2/ TBA pc 2016 PC 2010-11-15 http://www.vurp.com/games/TRON_Evolution/ TBA pc 1808 PC 2010-11-15 http://www.vurp.com/games/World_Of_Warcraft_Cataclysm/ TBA pc 2018 PC 2010-11-15 http://www.vurp.com/games/XCOM/ TBA pc 1999 PC 2010-12-01 http://www.vurp.com/games/Assassins_Creed_Brotherhood/ TBA pc 2024 PC 2010-12-15 http://www.vurp.com/games/The_Witcher_2_Assassins_Of_Kings/ TBA pc 2026 PC 2011-01-15 http://www.vurp.com/games/Beyond_Good_and_Evil_2/ TBA pc 2030 PC 2011-02-15 http://www.vurp.com/games/Tom_Clancys_Ghost_Recon_Future_Soldier/ TBA pc 2031 PC 2011-03-15 http://www.vurp.com/games/Aliens_Colonial_Marines/ TBA pc 2033 PC 2011-03-15 http://www.vurp.com/games/Hunted_The_Demons_Forge/ TBA pc 1 1415 PC THQ Q2 20 http://www.vurp.com/games/Dawn_of_War_2/ TBD pc 2036 PC 2030-12-24 http://www.vurp.com/games/Duke_Nukem_No_Longer/ TBA
