We’re a couple weeks away from E3 and the news keeps on pouring in. Metro: Last Night is one of the latest (and coolest) titles to be pre-announced. The “first person survival shooter” (aren’t they all?) won’t surface until 2012 but this trailer has us a bit amped for more info/footage. The sequel to Metro 2033 takes place in a post apocalyptic Moscow circa 2034. You will battle humans and mutants throughout the Moscow subway system using makeshift weapons, all while trying to breath and bust your guns. Thankfully there will also be multiplayer. Check out the trailer below.
This movie requires Flash Player 9

WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010
PS3/PS2/PSP/Xbox 360/Wii/DS
THQ
7.0 out of 10
Graphically the game is gorgeous. Every wrestler is a near perfect replicate with few (visible) jagged edges to spot. The arenas are spot on; however they could take a lesson from other sporting games when it comes to the fans. If you’re going to make them visible, make them look good (though the dueling chants are a nice touch). The animation is generally solid throughout, all the moves are executed near perfect, but you will notice that during top rope moves that there is a magically transported effect going on with it.
