Kalypso Media have just launched this a trailer for their forthcoming 3rd-person futuristic RPG – Dark. In it you don’t play this guy with a gun but rather a vampire as you stalk enemies from the shadows and silently dispatch them or just go in for the kill from the front! It certainly looks different and if you’re the sort of person that has a blood lust you can play it on Xbox 360 and PC early in 2013. Buy Dark now New: Buy Dark from Amazon.com

Resistance: Burning Skies takes the battle with the Chimera on the move and online. Playing as a fireman who gets caught up in the fight during the 50s you soon get to play with all their weaponry which tags bad guys and shoots round corners, blasts enemies through walls and more heavy firepower that does lots of damage in very unconventional ways. There’s no slowdown so expect some graphical shortcuts here and there but the action is fast and furious with touch screen features such as throwing grenades and activating shields and buttons which work to various degrees of success....
Apart from being something that happens when you stand up too quick, Gravity Rush plays with the PS Vita‘s gyroscope in a very clever way.

The game features a combination of fetch quests, sneaking, timed flying and combat and genuinely offers something different to anything I’ve ever played before. If playing in a public space you can also use the right stick instead...
The original Max Payne came out in 2001 and I remember playing it on PC, diving round corners in ‘bullet time‘ and swinging my mouse around to shoot bad guys.
