Brink
BOX ART
Developers : Splash Damage
Publishers : Bethesda Softworks
Release Date : Q3 2010
A man-made floating city called the Ark, made up of hundreds of separate floating islands, is on the brink of all-out civil war. Originally built as an experimental self-sufficient and 100% "green" habitat, the reported rapid rise of the Earth's oceans has forced the Ark to become a refuge for humanity. With 25 years of social unrest, the inhabitants of the Ark have reached their breaking point. It's up to you to decide the future of the Ark and the human race.
In Brink, two sides, "Resistance" and "Security", fight in the outskirts of a utopian city known as The Ark, a floating city surrounded by the waters of a flooded Earth. The Ark was designed as a prototype of a perfect city, with renewable resources and no pollution, large enough to support 5,000 residents. Its population has grown to 50,000 however, leading it to the brink (hence the name of the game) of a civil war.
Brink is an immersive shooter that blends single-player, co-op, and multiplayer gameplay into one seamless experience, allowing you to develop your character across all modes of play. You decide the role you want to assume in the world of BRINK as you fight to save yourself and mankind's last refuge for humanity. Brink offers a compelling mix of dynamic battlefields, extensive customization options, and an innovative control system.
Brink's engine is based on id Tech 4 with a new rendering framework and improved support for multiple CPU cores.

Metal Gear Solid: Rising
BOX ART
Developers : Kojima Productions
Publishers : Konami
Release Date : TBA
Gamers have seen the last of Solid Snake (or so the story goes...), but the Metal Gear franchise soldiers in this next installment -- and this time, Raiden leads the way in "Lightning Bolt Action" gameplay.
The main character of the game is Raiden, the protagonist and player character of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, who appears in the cyborg ninja state he was in during the events of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. The second teaser depicted Raiden in his Metal Gear Solid 4 armor with sword drawn, crouching on the back of what appears to be Crying Wolf. Although Kojima referred to the game as the "next generation MGS5", no details about the storyline or the chronological setting have been revealed yet.

Duke Nukem Forever
BOX ART
Developers : 3D Realms
Publishers : 2K Games, Take-Two Interactive
Release Date : TBA
Duke Nukem Forever is a first-person shooter video game that, as of 2010, was in development since 1997 by the software developer 3D Realms. It is a sequel to the 1996 game Duke Nukem 3D, as part of the long-running Duke Nukem video game series. The game's development was directed by George Broussard, one of the creators of the original Duke Nukem game. Intended to be groundbreaking, it became infamous for its severely protracted development schedule. The game has been the subject of much speculation, and has frequently been referred to as vaporware.
Development on DNF was first publicly announced in April 1997, and promotional information for the game was released in one form or another in each of 1997, 1998, 2001, 2007, and 2008. After repeatedly announcing and deferring release dates for the game, 3D Realms announced publicly in 2001 that DNF would be released simply "when it's done".

R.U.S.E.
BOX ART
Developers : Eugen Systems
Publishers : Ubisoft
Release Date : TBA
R.U.S.E. is an upcoming real-time strategy video game developed by Eugen Systems and published by Ubisoft.
R.U.S.E. takes place within the World War II time period. It is believed that players will be playing as the United States. The campaign takes place in several major theaters of World War II. Battles in the game take place in North Africa (Battle of the Kasserine Pass), Italy (Battle of Monte Cassino), France (the invasion of Normandy), Netherlands, the Ardennes (the Battle of the Bulge), and Germany.
R.U.S.E. employs a system of ruses that allow the player to fool or bluff the opponent. A total of ten or more ruses will be able to be used in the game. The ruses are divided into three different categories: those that reveal information (such as Decryption or the Spy Plan), those that hide information (such as Radio Silence or Camouflage Net), and those that allow for fake structures/units, designed to trick the enemy (the Decoy Offensive is an example of such a ruse).
* Decryption: The decryption ability reveals all enemy movements within a sector. Orders are represented by red arrows.
* Spy plan: A spy reveals all unidentified/hidden enemy units in a sector.
* Radio silence: Radio silence hides all allies' units within a sector. All allied units remain hidden from the enemy detection system as long as they do not leave the affected sector.
* Dummy building: Creates a decoy building.
* Camouflage net: The camouflage net hides all allies' buildings within a sector. All allies' buildings in that sector disappear from the enemy intelligence system. Units created by the player within the affected sector will remain hidden from the enemy detection system as long as they remain in the affected sector. This allows the player to create camouflaged factories/units behind enemy lines.
* Decoy offensive: This ruse allows the player to create decoy units to simulate an army. Decoy units are produced and then launched in the this sector in order to simulate an attack.
* Blitz plan: Doubles your units' speed in the sector and allows for swift attack of key objectives.
* Terror: Enemy troops are more likely to be routed.
* Fanaticism: Allied units will fight till the death
* Reverse intel: Light units are given heavy unit markings when not scouted, and vice versa.

Release Date : August-October 2010
Mafia II is an upcoming 2010 sandbox-style third-person shooter video game which is the sequel to Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven. It is being developed by 2K Czech, previously known as Illusion Softworks, and will be published by 2K Games. The game will be set from 1945 to 1955 in Empire Bay (originally called Empire City earlier in the game's development), a fictional city based on San Francisco and New York City, with influences from Chicago and Detroit.

As seen in screenshots, new WWII-era weapons like the MP40 and the M3 Grease Gun will make an appearance in the game as well as the MG42.

Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty
BOX ART
Set in the 26th century in a distant part of the Milky Way galaxy, the game is built around three species: the Terrans, human exiles from Earth; the Zerg, a race of insectoids; and the Protoss, a species with vast psionic power. Wings of Liberty specifically focuses on the Terrans, while the expansions Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void focus on the Zerg and Protoss, respectively. The game is set four years after the events of StarCraft: Brood War, and follows the exploits of Jim Raynor as he leads an insurgent group against the autocratic Terran Dominion. However, unable to inflict major damage against the Dominion, Raynor's forces are relegated to the roles of mercenaries, recovering artifacts of an ancient species thought extinct, the Xel'Naga, for their enigmatic employers. The game reunites old characters from the original game, as well as introducing new characters and locations to the franchise.

Final Fantasy XIV Online

Release Date : TBA
Final Fantasy XIV, also known as Final Fantasy XIV Online, is the fourteenth entry in the Final Fantasy series, due for release in 2010. The battle and job systems will be different from the one previously used in Final Fantasy XI, which utilized experience points. Character races will resemble and allow players to create avatars similar to ones in Final Fantasy XI. Group play has been de-emphasized, and now solo and group play have been balanced.
Eorzea's nations used to be constantly at war with each other until fifteen years ago when the Garlean Empire, a mysterious nation from the east, razed the mightiest of the city-states, Ala Mhigo. The nations decided to band together if they were to repel the invaders, but the Empire never came, leaving a state of détente throughout the land. The resulting peace has led to a wide swath of soldiers and mercenaries suddenly without a job, and so they're now forming guilds and going by a new name: adventurers.

BOX ART
Developers : EA Los Angeles (singleplayer), EA Digital Illusions CE (multiplayer)
Publishers : Electronic Arts
Release Date : October 12, 2010
There will be one seamless single player campaign. The player will play as multiple characters that each partake in diverse and unique experiences from both the “Tier 1” and “Big Military” perspectives. The storyline will follow several "Tier One Operator" soldiers working under the National Command Authority in Afghanistan. Players will also step into the shoes of a US Army Ranger and will be on a larger scale than the "Tier 1 Elite Ops" campaign, as players will only be a small part of the 'war machine'.
The game will be a reboot of the series, set in modern-day Afghanistan. Medal of Honor's single-player campaign will use a heavily-modified version of Unreal Engine 3 and its multiplayer will use the Frostbite engine. This game is expected to utilize dedicated servers as hinted by Sean Decker, General Manager at EA, in Atomic PC's feature article.
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
BOX ART
Developers : Ubisoft Montreal
Publishers : Ubisoft
Release Date : Nov 11th 2010
The game is a direct-sequel to Assassin's Creed 2 and its story will take place shortly after the ending of the previous game, with Ezio returning as the main protagonist. Some type of multiplayer gameplay is included, unlike the previous installments which did not feature any type of multiplayer.
According to Ubisoft, the game is going to offer over 15 hours of single-player gameplay set in the city of Rome with the possibility to recruit and train young Assassins that can be deployed across the city of Rome, or call upon to aid Ezio in his quests. Also in the quests, Ezio will meet real historical characters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Niccolò Machiavelli and Caterina Sforza with which he can collaborate, and also by helping out citizens of Rome and convincing them to join the cause will unlock extra factions and missions. Old weapons and devices from previous games will carry over, such as hidden blades, and DaVinci's flying machine. New weapons will also be introduced. Two of these new weapons were revealed in teaser content for the game, a bladed fan and switch blade version of the hidden blade. A syringe is also presented in the teaser, which extrapolates on a hollowed out version of the hidden blade used for delivering poison in Assassin's Creed II.
Multiplayer mode is new to the franchise and will allow the player to choose from multiple authentic character classes, each with their own signature weapons and killing moves to battle on maps and a wide variety of multiplayer modes. Ubisoft's massive Montreal studio has been charged with leading development on Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. However, the Canadian outfit will be supported in its efforts by Ubisoft studios in Singapore, Bucharest, Quebec City, and Annecy, France.

Test Drive Unlimited 2
BOX ART
Developers : Eden Games
Publishers : Atari
Release Date : September 21st 2010
There will be a storyline in TDU2 to follow for the player. To progress through the game, the player has to earn experience points. These can be earned via various ways, such as racing with friends and clubmembers, but also by driving like a daredevil and performing stunts, like drifting through turns. Exploring the island lets the player find vehicle wrecks which will unlock exclusive vehicles at the dealerships on the island, which automatically confirms the return of manufacturer showrooms like in the previous game. The player can also walk out of the car in certain areas. The player's avatar can also be customized. Customizations included hair, clothes, physical appearance and their attitude, and they can also buy houses. Co-op will also make an appearance in the game. New vehicle classes are included, such as SUVs for offroading. Not all vehicles are obtainable however; clubs can get exclusive clubcars when reaching high ranks. These exclusive vehicles, such as the McLaren MP4-12C and the Gumpert Apollo, these can be driven by any member of the car club,and not by players from other clubs.
Vehicles feature cosmetic damage which does not affect the behaviour and technical aspects of the vehicles. There is no option to manually repair the vehicle, by resetting to the road or visiting a house the car may get fixed. Rainfall does affect the handling of the vehicles though, and also influences the appearance of a vehicle as rain washes off dirt. Eden has also spent years working on a new physics engine to ensure each vehicle has its own driving behaviour. New details and functions have been added, such as different headlight modes, turning signals and working convertible roofs. There is also a vinyl-editor which is said to be similar to that of Forza Motorsport.
When pre-order information was reveiled, it became known that pre-orders in the United States would get additional bonuses. Among these bonuses are bonuscars, such as special Carbon-edition Aston Martins, an Audi Q7 conceptcar and a Nissan 370Z based on a European racingversion of this car.

The game will also feature a four player co-op through the game as well a "full adversarial multiplayer" with up to eight players. The player can also go head-to-head in close-range dogfights and use air-to-air refueling in the middle of missions.

BOX ART
Developers : Yager Development
Publishers : 2K Games
Release Date : TBA 2011
The Line is primarily a third-person shooter with emphasis on squad-based tactics. The player controls Captain Martin Walker who is accompanied by a Delta Force bravo team to rescue a U.S. Army Colonel who remained behind in Dubai. To accomplish this goal, players must traverse the city to neutralize enemy threats and natural disasters to find and recover the lost Colonel, named John Konrad. As the player progresses, better weapons and equipment will become available to accomplish goals more easily. Squad commands will also be available, allowing the player to direct their teammates to perform certain actions or move to certain areas.
The game focuses on the natural sandstorms of Dubai to provide dynamic terrain changing during gameplay, similar to Fracture and the Red Faction series.

Sandstorms may open or close paths to the players as well as turn advantages in a firefight.
A multi-player mode will be included as well, though the extent of this has yet to be revealed. Yager describes the multiplayer as a campaign that expands the single-player experience. In addition, there will multiple mode types with at least a few focusing on terrain deformation and expansion.

The game takes place in the year 2170, half a century after the events of Red Faction: Guerrilla, since the end of the third game the surface of the planet has become uninhabitable. This occurred when the massive Terraformer on Mars which supplied it with its Earth-like air and weather had been destroyed, causing the atmosphere to turn to chaos with super-tornados and lightning storms engulfing the planet.

Colonist and Marauder settlements alike are torn apart by the new enemies with Darius and the Red Faction having to save the Martian population once again.

F1 2010
BOX ART
Developers : Codemasters
Publishers : Codemasters
Release Date : September 24th 2010
F1 2010 will feature "the most complicated weather system ever seen in a racing game" which is integral to F1. When rain starts to fall, the track will gradually lose grip, with some areas losing grip faster than others. "Overhanging trees, for example, will shelter the track, while dips and indentations in the tarmac will hold more standing water and provide a greater risk."
When the rain stops, a "drying line" will start to appear which will provide more grip which will make it easier to drive. If a car strays from the dry line, the tyres will lose grip and it will be harder to drive. Evolving track will also be featured elsewhere in the game; at the start of a race weekend, the track will be "green" and therefore have less grip, but as the weekend progresses, rubber will be laid down onto the track, increasing the grip.
The game will feature a career mode consisting of either 3, 5 or 7 seasons (depending on the end user's choice). Where players can drive for any team, each having their own objectives – "For example, race for Ferrari and anything other than winning the Driver's and Constructor's Championship would be a failure, while a mere points finish when driving for Lotus would be a huge success." Media interest will also differ depending on whether the player is racing for one of the top teams, or a team at the back of the grid. Impromptu interviews will take place alongside the official interviews following each race.
