Did you love Uncharted? Then your going to flip for Among Thieves. This time around, everything seems to be abit more cinematic. Action is more versatile and imaginative. You can watch Drake climbing a wall, then pause behind an enemy guard before yanking him back to tumble to his death down on the road below. Action will be far more varied than in Drake's Fortune. You're in for a treat come November.

Need For Speed SHIFT Preview
The once amazing Need For Speed series has swerved onto a very bumpy road. Disapointing last installments including the very dull, super-sterile ProStreet and a technically terrible Undercover, there's no wonder there's been talk of the company being completely shelved in 2009.
Need For Speed is very much alive for the moment though. But for EA, another plot gimmick or the introduction of a fancy Hollywood cast won't be enough.
Even just over the halfway point of its development stretch, SHIFT is by far the most polished Need For Speed ever made. The amount of detail on car model's track sides and lush vehicle interiors is easily comparable to the big boys of the racing genre.
As Driving simulations go, SHIFT has one of the best physics engine's around. It also has an impressive vehicle damage system and advanced AI.
But by far the most impressive and unique aspect of SHIFT is in it's conquest to put you, the player, behind the wheel. With the use of high-end graphical techniques, fancy camera moves and some of the most detailed vehicle interiors ever seen in a game.
SHIFT is attempting to recreate the experiance of actually driving a racing car - and it's doing it well. Unlike the comparitively sterile cockpits of Ferrari Challenge and GRID, SHIFT creates the feeling of g-force with subtle, emotive camera moves.
But the fun visual display becomes a truly compelling gameplay experiance when you swerve off the track and collide with an obsticle. The developer has spent a great deal of effort simulating crashes, and, as in real life, making contact with another vehicle at high speed is a viloent, head-snapping event that leaves you dazed. High speed collisions look fantastic and the resulting visual wallop encourages players to stay on the track even more.
SHIFT is undoubtedly the most promising, spectacular looking Need For Speed to appear since Underground in 2003.
Need For Speed SHIFT is due to be released in Late 2009.

Battlefield 1943 Details
Battlefield 1943 is a remake of the 2002 Battlefield 1942. The original was a huge hit on PC, the game introduced the option of classes to shooters which hadn't been done before. Though the remake will only feature three classes - infantry, rifleman and scout.
Trains are just about the only form of transport you can't use. Along with tanks, jeeps and fighter planes, you will also be able to fly bombers, submarines and warships.
The game will only feature one game type. Conquest, which is a bit like domination on Call of Duty.
Battlefield 1943 will have 3 maps when released (Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima). It is being made using the Frostbite engine, which ables you to destroy anything! You heard us, everything!
As it is a PSN Downloadable game only, DICE have announced that their is no need to supply extra content to unlock. So you will stay with all the weapons, kit and vehicles you star with. Good news is there WILL be a levelling-up system, which will give you new abilities when you reach certain milestones in the game.
Finally, unlike other PSN Shooters the game is based on a real war. All the weapons, kit, vehicles and unifroms will be perfectly recreated.
Battlefield 1943 is due for release on the PSN Store in May.
