David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said, “As we draw nearer to Time of Fury’s release date there’s more and more reason to be excited. Check Matrix Games and the wargaming community soon for more details and inside looks at this great WWII strategy game!”

In World War II every single aspect of war was crucial: from troop movements to supply, from logistics to diplomacy, from innovation to careful use of terrain. Many games have tried to replicate the depth and complexity of this global conflict and only a few have managed to give an all around experience to players.

This is a game that truly replicates all these aspects. The developers of the highly successful Time of Wrath are back to the European theater of war with an ambitious project that allows players to truly experience what it was to be a decision maker of the period.

Time of Fury spans the whole war in Europe and gives players the opportunity to control all types of units, ground, air and naval. Not only that, each player will be able to pick a single country or selection of countries and fight his way against either the AI or in multiplayer in hotseat or Play by E-Mail. This innovative multiplayer feature will give player the chance to fight bigger scenarios against many opponents, giving the game a strategic angle that has no equal in the market. The game uses Slitherine’s revolutionary PBEM++ server system.

SOCOM 4 is the ultimate next-generation combat experience featuring rich cinematics, stereoscopic 3D graphics with full-fidelity resolution, PlayStation Move integration, a robust single-player campaign and industry leading competitive multiplayer exclusively for the PS3.

PlayStation has released an exclusive look behind the scenes at the technology used to create this PS3 exclusive title.  In the video, lead designer Travis Steiner and game director Seth Luisi explain how the team at Zipper Interactive leveraged the power and versatility of the PS3 system to make the most visually stunning and immersive SOCOM game ever.

Paradox Interactive has revealed the first developer diary and five new screens as well as a video interview with Thomas Johansson, project lead for their internally developed strategy title Sengoku, due for release on PC in Q3 2011. The developer diaries will be released on a weekly basis.

From the first developer diary by Johan Andersson, producer of Segoku, “Our goal with Sengoku is to create a game where your actions matter, where you truly act like a Japanese noble in the struggle to become Shogun, with our focus on playability and easing the learning curve while still being a deep and complex Paradox game. What truly makes Sengoku unique is the free flowing way of switching alliances and conquests in contrast to the long-term build-up of your holdings and your relations. Maybe it is better to manuever for the future than to spend resources fighting now. And always remember.. "Double cross your enemies in an honorable an auspicious manner."

Paradox Interactive have today released a new video interview with Mariina Hallikainen, CEO at developer Colossal Order Ltd and Producer on Cities in Motion, the much anticipated mass transportation simulator releasing on PC on February 22nd.

In the five and half minute video, Hallikainen describes some of the key features and gameplay elements that the development team has implemented in to the game including an underground view for the metro system, a first for a transport simulator. Another area that she says the team has worked hard on is the AI of the citizens that populate the four cities in Cities in Motion. All of them are individuals with names, a job, a place to live and they all have preferences on where they want to travel such as the golf course at the weekend, or going to the stadium to watch the match. The trick for the player is to get to know your citizens to see where they are going and to build your transportation system accordingly.

Developed by Colossal Order Ltd, Cities in Motion sees players develop and operate their own public transport company building a travel network across Vienna, Berlin, Helsinki and Amsterdam using more than 30 different modes of transport including buses, trams, subway trains and water buses. As each city develops and grows the player must continue to meet the ever changing transport needs of its commuters, while at the same time ensuring it remains as profitable as possible.

Featuring an in-depth campaign mode made up of 12 scenarios along with an open ended sandbox mode, an advanced map editor that allows players to create their own cities, plus much more, Cities in Motion will challenge players to create the perfect public transport system that has no cancellations, no delays and where the passengers are always happy!

Features:
- Explore four different cities: Vienna, Helsinki, Berlin and Amsterdam
- Engage in a campaign spread across 12 scenarios, as well as a sandbox mode where all campaign cities are playable
