Harry Potter Half-Blood Prince Trailer

Steve Stopps, Project Director of Blitz Arcade has confirmed that Droplitz will be released on the Playstation Network at a Store near you. The game is a puzzler created by Blitz staffer James Parker and from the very first prototype it had everyone hooked and the company decided to go ahead and create the game.

Firstly, you’ll start losing droplitz from the instant the game starts – DON’T PANIC! This is a game of creating paths. Once you have created a path you can start to regain the lost droplitz. Secondly, once you have made a path don’t just sit back and admire your handy work –you can either make more paths or you start to get the dials ready for when the current path is destroyed, which will make life much easier for you.

Will you buy this game? That depends if you like playing puzzle games, according to Steve Droplitz is a great little casual game but it has a hardcore mentality and could take this form… minutes to learn, months to master.

For more information, head over to the US PSBlog.

After checking out the new  Test Drive Unlimited 2 shots my attention was captivated by some of these images, I quickly realised the similarities between the images shown at the 2009 Game Developers Conference of CryEngine 3. Some of these images shown contain hints that this engine may be used for the development of Test Drive Unlimited 2 such as

• Integrated vegetation and terrain cover generation system

• Road & river tools

• Real time dynamic global illumination

• Deferred lighting, Natural lighting and dynamic soft shadows 

• Volumetric layer & view distance fogging

• Dynamic volumetric light beams & light shaft effects

These features have all been heavily worked on for CryEngine3, some are even exclusive to this engine and have never been done before. It would be a great to see this game developed with this engine as it would help provide the perfect setting that would be ideal for this sandbox on and off road racer.
