Ubisoft Montreal has just released three developer diary videos, detailing the multiplayer experience for Tom Clany's Splinter Cell Conviction.
In part one, we learn about the co-op campaign and the events that lead up to Sam Fisher's mission in the singleplayer campaign. In part two, we learn about the Deniable Ops mode and how it has replaced the Spy vs Merc multiplayer modes from previous Splinter Cell titles. And finally in part three, we learn about Persistant Elite Creation and why it is to your advantage to be a completionist in Conviction.
Coming this April to the Xbox 360 and PC, Splinter Cell Conviction is shaping up to be an incredible co-op experience and something I cannot wait to get my hands on.
After the jump, look for parts two and three of this developer diary.
A new video for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 just hit our inbox and in this PC walkthrough, Producer Anders Gyllenberg gives an overview on the PC specific features that gamers can look forward to on release, including PC specific graphical enhancement options, server selection tools, and an integrated friend system which allows you to find and squad up with your friends.
Bad Company 2 releases next week, and while I didn't think this title would interest me, some of the recent footage has certainly peaked my interest.
The news from X10 just keeps flowing and Microsoft Games Studios and Bungie Studios has released what I am sure is the the first of many developer diary videos for the highly anticipated prequel, Halo Reach. Bungie themselves are calling this the definitive Halo experience from the people who created Halo and with a completely overhauled engine, new weapons and new gameplay mechanics, not only am I excited for Reach but also very impressed at what Bungie is delivering in their send off to the Halo franchise this Fall.
Halo Reach 'falls' later this year but for now check out the ViDoc and let us know what you think!
Peter Molyneux has done it again, he has made me believe that Fable III will be a great game and I am eating my cookies and drinking my juicy juice with a smile. Announced at Microsoft's X10 event, Lionhead Studios has released a developer diary for Fable III that despite what I might think of its predecessor, you cannot help but to be intrigued with what Uncle Peter has in store for us with part three of the Fable saga.
Take a look at the developer diary video and let us know what you think.

With just a little over a week away from release, Bioware has given us a development diary for the N7 missions of Mass Effect 2. The Mass Effect 2 dev team takes us through the new armor customization system, the N7 bonus missions, charting unexplored planets, and more.
Personally speaking, I'm not sure how longer I can take watching all of these videos, just give me Mass Effect 2 so I can save the galaxy as Commander Shepard once again.

Bioware has released the final of the Mass Effect 2 class videos with The Soldier. Narrated by Christina Norman, she gives us further inisght into The Soldier class and why if you're looking for a pure 3rd person shooting experience, The Soldier class just might be for you.
Soldiers are outfitted with an ocular synaptic processor allowing them fire with heightened focus at their targets.Picking off Geth at long range, or disposing of a pack of Vorcha up close with a shotgun, Soldiers can overcome any obstacle with sheer firepower. They are the only class capable of wielding assault rifles, and are masters of all other forms of weaponry and ammunition types. When Soldiers utilize their Adrenaline Rush ability, they seemingly slow down time around them giving them precious moments to eliminate foes with lethal accuracy. Additionally when battles get heated, Soldiers can deploy an explosive concussive shot to knock down multiple enemies.
Mass Effect 2 will be available in North American on January 26th, 2010 and Europe on January 29th, 2010. Watch the class video for The Soldier and let us know what you think!
Bioware keeps the Mass Effect 2 information flowing, this time highlighting the Vanguard Class.
Vanguards are outfitted with a L5n implant giving them powerful biotic capabilities and coupled with their weapons training, they become lethal at close range. Vanguards are capable of closing the distance instantly on an enemy with their unique Charge ability. Gathering immense biotic power, Vanguards will charge toward an enemy, passing over chasms and through obstacles where they can then collide with their target, sending them flying through the air. Additionally Vanguards are able to release an explosive Shockwave, tossing enemies and knocking them from cover. If Vanguards find themselves in trouble, they are also able to use their Charge ability for a quick escape to safety.
Learn more about Vanguards in this class video narrated by combat designer, Christina Norman and after the jump, check out some additional screenshots of Mass Effect 2, set to release on January 26th, 2010 for the Xbox 360 and PC.
