    More PDZ

    Hands on: Single Player - Played first three levels..

    Datacore Training - Training level in an underwater base. Full of sweet looking tech brought to life by new lighting and parralax mapping. Cover mode = context sensitive actions allowing you to peek around corners, dodge moves allow you to roll in 4 directions. Play with gadgets... fly a camspy down a vent shaft to destroy a circuit breaker and open a door. Minigame to hack open locked doors. Other gadgets = locktopus and demolition kit, all involve minigames to use, which increase in difficulty depending on what you're trying to do.

    Subway Retrieval - Enter through elevator into parking garage, face guys on cool futuristic motorcycles. Dual wielding and secondary firing. Game will keep track of your stats and present them at the end of level, posted over Xbox Live.

    Rooftops - They played this co-op, and said this is true co-op. Players take different routes that criss-cross each other, and are put in situations where they have to help each other out. Example - Joanna has sniper rifle, and has to snipe enemies to allow her father to get through back alleys below


    Multiplayer - Played deathmatch against devs. Customizable bots like in the last one, but much better and smarter bots. Great weapon balancing, cool environmental features like ziplines. Destructible armor that you can see, so you know where to shoot someone for more damage, or see who is a weaker target

    They say it would be tough to compare to Halo, but it's still going to be great. "If you like good shooters made by the people who made two of the best FPS ever, or if you need a good multiplayer till the next Halo comes out, or if you like hot British chicks in skintight outfits, then the answer is looking like a resounding yes."

    Weapons -

    Jackal Sniper Rifle
    Secondary Function - EMP Marker: Target player... scrambles radar and lights up target on your radar

    Laptop Gun
    Secondary Function - Sentry Gun: Provides auto fire

    P9P Pistol (dual wield)
    Secondary Function - Silencer Also has flashlight

    UBL Liberator SMG
    Secondary Function - Booby trap. Acts like a proximity mine

    Superdragon
    Secondary Function - Bouncing Grenade Launcher

    All weapons have melee attacks. Best is Viblade... attacks can be chained into combos.

    They say that the next issue will have a report from the Tokyo Game Show, where even more games will be announced. Also, they will unveil a hot new property never heard of before, but will be a must have game when released.

    Interesting. Ironically, I'm definitely laughing at 187 Ride or Die - 3.9. GOODNESS!! Everything else is decent on the real.

        Strictly Xbox reviews, but some of the games will be on the PS2 as well.

              OMG PDZ is going to own Halo 3 at so many levels. I'm disappointed Sony didn't pick up Rareware.
