S.T.A.L.K.E.R. provides players with dynamic gameplay of fast and tough combats, where you face intelligent enemies, wield a diversity of weapons, control machinery, in a team based story-driven single player game, and multiplayer with numerous modes. In case you can't wait a few more days for the retail game, you can enjoy yourself this weekend with the Russian multiplayer beta demo (thanks JD).

UPDATE: We added a little fix that changes the menu from Russian to English.

Pandemic Studios is not only working on Mercenaries 2, but according to the latest GameInformer issue, it has another WWII action game in development. Unlike most other WWII titles, Saboteur will feature an open-ended world. Think GTA, mixed with regular first-person action and stealth, where you, as a member of the French La Resistance, have to free Nazi-controlled zones. Reminiscent of Schindler's List, these zones will be displayed in black and white, but once successfully liberated, become colorized. Scheduled for 2008, no further details or platforms were disclosed, but it's safe to assume that it'll at least be on the PS3 and X360.

With Motorstorm barely in North American stores and due at PS3 launch in Europe, you'd figure the guys over at Evolution Studios would be taking a break after all their hard work. Not so, according to PSU, as during GDC, the developers confirmed that Motorstorm 2 is coming, and while no details were disclosed, they did mention it would use a revamped version of the current Motorstorm engine.

SEGA's PS2-exclusive RPG Shining Force EXA plunges gamers into stunning interactive worlds of swords and sorcery, filled with anime cut-scenes for which the classic series is best known.
