Video Games Today

A relatively unknown game known as Fracture is coming out soon (Oct. 7th 2008) and looks promising! This normally would be a large AAA release, but with over-hyped game like Gears of War 2, Far Cry 2, Fable II, Left 4 Dead, etc. it has been set on the back burners of advertisement.

After playing through the demo I became addicted to it. I played the demo over about three times and kept pondering why this game was not hyped up more, as it could easily contend with such games as Left 4 Dead and Far Cry 2.

Basically, it is 3rd person shooter where you can manipulate the environment around you by lifting or lowering land. For example, you are pinned down behind a wall and cannot make a run for it. What do you do? Raise the land between you and the enemy to create an earth barrier.

The weapons from the demo include things such as the standard assault rifle, sniper, rockets, and a cool rocket launcher that launches the rockets underground towards the enemies.

Don't count this game off your "to-buy" list just because it isn't uber hyped!
