Topware Interactive has announced that Two Worlds 2 will finds its way to the Xbox 360, after being (almost) conformed for the PS3 and PC earlier.

The role playing game returns to the lands of Antaloor, and while Topware will publish the game in Europe, South Peak will take care of publishing in the rest of the territories.

The original Two Worlds was released on all platforms and received a lukewarm reception by critics, yet went on to sell 1 million copes, meaning a sequel was a no-brainer.

Hopefully, it’ll be better than the original.

Far Cry was originally set on a tropical island, Far Cry 2 in Africa, and it now seems that Far Cry 3 will be somewhere entirely different. According to IncGamers, a source from the development team of Far Cry 3 has revealed that they’re still pretty early in development and that they’re not sure where it’ll be set. However, the source noted “I’m pretty sure that it won’t be in Africa”. South America, anyone? Antarctica?

Yeah, we can imagine the guys at the US Airforce to be huge gamers, but alas, that’s not why their department ordered 2200 PlayStation 3 consoles. Rather than gaming, they’ll be used for their calculative power, as the consoles are cheaper than to buy regular servers.

Back in March of last year, USAF bought 300 PS3 systems for high-def video processing, which brings the total to 2500 systems.

2010 is looking to be a great year for gamers, especially those looking for some FPS action. We’ve compiled a list of 10 FPS games that are certain to make an impact in 2010, and games that you definitely want to check out.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

(PC, PS3, Xbox 360, March 2, 2010)

Bad Company was the first FPS game to bring true destructible environments to a multiplayer shooter. If you looked for cover, it was no longer safe to hide behind a wall, which was only one grenade from being reduced to dust. In Bad Company 2, don’t expect much cover inside buildings either, as they can now be leveled to the ground.

Crysis 2

(PC, PS3, Xbox 360. Fall 2010)

Despite being 2 years old, Crysis still looks gorgeous and can bring even the most powerful system to its knees. Crysis 2 will be sure to expand on that level, and will be built using the new CryEngine 3, which includes full DX 11 support across the board. Start saving up for a new PC.

BioShock 2

(PC, PS3, Xbox 360. February 9, 2010)

Taking place ten years after the original BioShock, BioShock 2 packs a lot more than its predecessor. Among other things, players can now take control of the infamous Big Daddy, and will be able to step outside of the underwater city of Rapture as well. Oh, and there’s multiplayer too.

Deus Ex 3

(PC, PS3, Xbox 360. Q4 2010)

The Deux Ex series are pure cult to cyberpunk games. And while Deus Ex 3 will take place in 2027 — 25 years before Deus Ex — it’ll still keep the cyberpunk culture alive and well. As far as we know, at least, as Eidos hasn’t released any details about the game other than some concept art.

MAG

(PS3. January 25, 2010)

MAG is set to be one of the most anticipated games for PS3 owners, and especially, hardcore multiplayer FPS fans. MAG is the first game to feature massive 256 player battles, at a time where 64 is usually the limit on the PC, and far less on consoles. The game will include details stats, awards, squad based systems and a lot more. Hopefully the end result isn’t chaos.

Rage

(PC, PS3, Xbox 360 & OS X. Q4, 2010)

Id Software’s first original game in over a decade, and the first to use the new Tech 5 game engine, Rage is set in a post-apocalyptic Mad Max-kind-of-world, and a is a unique blend of first person shooter and racing game.

Halo Reach

(Xbox 360. Q4 2010)

Unveiled at E3 2009 — and without any further details — Halo Reach will most certainly continue Master Cheif’s quest, and, on a sadder note, it’s the last Halo game to be developed by Bungie. In true Halo fashion, a multiplayer beta will be available in the summer of 2010.

Alien Vs. Predator

(PC, PS3, Xbox 360. Q1 2010)

The team behind the first Alien vs. Predator is back behind the wheel of the franchise, and is looking to reboot it with a bang. The three classes will still be playable, where you can choose between the marines, Aliens or Predators. The game is built on a brand new engine, sporting all the DirectX 11 bells and whistles, among other things.

Postal 3

(PC, Xbox 360, PS3. Q2 2010)

The Postal series has been regarded at some of the most controversial games ever made, have have been banned in several countries. It looks like Postal 3 won’t shun away from the same, violent-filled sandbox style gameplay, and this time, it’ll feature director Uwe Boll (who made the 2008 Postal movie) in a cameo role.

Red Steel 2

(Wii, February 16, 2010)

Wii owners haven’t got much to look forward to in 2010 when it comes to first person shooters, with the exception of one: Red Steel 2. While Red Steel was a massive disappointment, the sequel is set to fix everything, and the developer has gone as far as saying that they’ve taken in the criticisms, and will make sure Red Steel lives up to the expectations this time. We sure hope so, as it looks fairly bleak on the FPS front for the Wii.

If you’ve been around for a while you may remember Kelly Slater’s Pro Surfer, a surfing title from Activision for the PS2, GamCube, Xbox and various other consoles. And, if you were a fan of the game you may have noticed that there were never any sequels which may have left you a bit discouraged, but don’t worry as Tony Hawk feels the same way.

In the same GameSpot interview that he talked about a Tony Hawk Ride sequel, Mr. Hawk said the following:

“I think that the first priority, beyond skateboarding, would be snowboarding because that would lend itself [to the board] a little bit easier [than other genres], and beyond that I’d love to do a surfing game. I always thought that Kelly Slater’s [Pro Surfer] was an underrated title for the PlayStation 2. I thought that people didn’t really give it the attention it deserved.”

So, does this mean a possible sequel? If so, they will unfortunately use the board peripheral from Tony Hawk Ride which hasn’t exactly recieved the best reception.

Not a week ago, a Gamelof director said the company, which specializes in mobile games, would scale back on development for the Google Android system, which many phones are powered by. Their reasoning was that the Android marketplace was underdeveloped, and, more importantly, Gameloft’s games were selling 400 times better on the iPhone.

However, today Gameloft clarified that, stating that they’ll continue to support the “second generation” of the Android OS, but still, considering that games sell 400 times better on the iPhone, it’s a no brainer where they’ll put most of their efforts.

Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed 2 has done fairly well in the stores, selling 1.6 million copies during its first week. It’s not Modern Warfare 2 numbers, but still decent enough, and is 30% more than the original Assassin’s Creed, which holds the record as the fastest selling original IP. Make sure to check out our Assassin’s Creed 2 review as well.
