The PS3 Games of Winter 2007
It may be cold outside, but your PS3 is warming up.
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/755/755571p1.html
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Armored Core 4
Developer: FromSoftware
Publisher: SEGA
Release Date: March 2007
Genre: Action
What to Expect: No longer published by Agetec, FromSoftware's sturdy mech series heads into the next generation under SEGA's banner with a number of notable improvements (besides the obvious graphical boost). A new storyline, original environments, and eight-player simultaneous online battles are among the touted features, as is the inclusion of "Primal Armor" -- a new-fangled defensive shield that adjusts its power according to specific combat situations. As was the case with the rest of the games in the franchise, expect plenty of adjustable machines, more than 30 missions and six different playable factions when Armored Core 4 ships in the first quarter of 2007.
Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War
Developer: KOEI
Publisher: KOEI
Release Date: March 2007
Genre: Strategy
What to Expect: KOEI leaves the ancient battlefields of Japan and China and heads for 14th century Europe instead in Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War. Retelling the story of a century-long struggle for the French throne, this original RTS features a fictional plot based on actual events starring such historical characters as Joan of Arc and "The Black Prince" Prince Edward. Built from the ground up, the game allows users to take control of French and English forces as they command hundreds of archers, infantry, cavaliers, and other military units at once (while also giving them the option to swap sides on a battle-to-battle basis). Expect a character reputation system and unit augmentation too.
Def Jam: Icon
Developer: EA Chicago
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Release Date: February 2007
Genre: Fighting
What to Expect: What happens when you mix hip-hop music culture with hand-to-hand fighting mechanics? Def Jam: Icon does, apparently. Developed by the Fight Night crew at EA Chicago, the game's focus is to move beyond the more established digital fighting methods, and towards unfamiliar territory... music-based combat. Featuring interactive backgrounds that react to whatever music is playing (thanks to a built-in equalizer), the game challenges players to "fight to the beat" with celebrities such as Ludacris and Big Boi while defeating their opponents by learning the rhythms of their favorite songs. An analog-based battle system, the option to hot-swap songs in the middle of a skirmish, and support for customized soundtracks have also been confirmed.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Developer: Bethesda Game Studios
Publisher: Bethesda Software
Release Date: February 2007
Genre: RPG
What to Expect: One of the biggest, most ambitious role-playing games of the year comes to the PlayStation 3 with full 1080p HD support and the all-new sidequest, "Knights of the Nine." But even without this PS3-exclusive content, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion would still be an engaging experience. Following the aftermath of the assassination of Cyrodill's beloved king, Bethesda's original storyline is one of betrayal, heroism and selflessness as Oblivion's players embark on a quest of uncountable gameplay hours packed with fully customizable characters, an advanced NPC AI system, and more side-missions than you can shake a steel sword +2 at. Cancel all your appointments before taking this one on.

Fatal Inertia
Developer: KOEI Canada
Publisher: KOEI
Release Date: March 2007
Genre: Racing
What to Expect: It's the 23rd century and racing in alien environments is what life is all about. At least, that's what it's all about in Fatal Inertia -- KOEI's action-based speedster from its upstart development studio in Canada. Mixing traditional race goals with combat and an emphasis on physics, the finished game will boast a large variety of weaponry, completely customizable vehicles, and competitive, cooperative, and season-themed game modes. You can even hop online and battle experience the game with pals over the Network.
Formula One Championship Edition
Developer: SCE Studios Liverpool
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Release Date: February 27, 2007
Genre: Racing
What to Expect: Formula racing is one of the most technical and perfection-inducing sports in the world, and Formula One Championship Edition aims to bring this intensity to PlayStation 3 gamers everywhere. The game sure is pretty with sharp-as-nails visuals and a lightning-quick framerate which works perfectly with its white knuckle racing. The Career mode looks to be fairly expansive and numerous racing teams and tracks will provide plenty of customization. And speaking of customization, Sony is making sure that the difficulty is adaptable to any amount of racing experience, allowing newcomers to enjoy it just as much as veterans.
MotorStorm
Developer: Evolution Studios
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Release Date: February 2007
Genre: Racing
What to Expect: Here's a game worthy of serious attention. MotorStorm looks to be the premiere race title on PS3 when it debuts in February, and it wouldn't surprise too many people if it stayed on top for a good long while. The game looks amazing, for starters, but it also offers a unique twist on the racing games. Players will take control of dirt bikes, trucks and ATVs as they rip through hazardous courses filled with jumps and a myriad of obstacles. What's more, players need to watch out for heat -- boost too much and a vehicle will explode into a thousand pieces.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas
Developer: Ubisoft Montreal
Publisher: Ubisoft
Release Date: February 2007
Genre: Shooting
What to Expect: Terrorists have invaded "Sin City" and the only thing that can stop them is you and your teammates at Rainbow Six. Luckily, your squad isn't a passive one -- they'll provide real-time tactical suggestions based on the situation at hand and do whatever it takes to stop the highly-advanced artificial intelligence of your extremist foes. Making the experience even more realistic is the all-new motion-captured animation engine and multiple invasion tactics, while the online multiplayer experience continues its role as one of the best and most immersive around. Players can even build and evolve their online persona -- getting better while unlocking new weapons as they go along, or use the Sixaxis controller to control their sneaky "Snake-cam."
Virtua Fighter 5
Developer: SEGA-AM2
Publisher: SEGA
Release Date: February 2007
Genre: Fighting
What to Expect: SEGA's Lindbergh arcade system is one of the most impressive coin-op boards around and its flagship title, Virtua Fighter 5, really pushes the hardware. Luckily, PlayStation 3 owners should be getting the exact same experience when the slick-looking brawler hits home sometime next year. Boasting 17 combatants in all, VF5 has two brand new fighters (luche libre wrestler El Blaze and Monkey Kung Fu expert Eileen) as, well as old favorites Jacky, Sarah, Pai, and Akira. Various customizable options such as multiple costumes and attachable items are also included.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Virtua Tennis 3
Developer:SEGA-AM2
Publisher: SEGA
Release Date: March 2007
Genre: Sports
What to Expect: The Virtua Tennis series has always attracted gamers, sports-fan or otherwise. And from what IGN has seen so far, Virtua Tennis 3 looks to be no different. It includes a slew of game modes, including the comprehensive Career Mode. Plus, this new iteration will boast improved character animation and AI for realistic matches. The game will also include a host of mini-games that help a player fine-tune their technique. This includes all the challenges form the previous game, but also a set of brand new ones. Expect to serve while aiming for a selection of "fruity" targets.
