Codemasters has just released a new trailer for Operation Flashpoint: Red River, the upcoming chapter in the multi-million selling tactical shooter series. The new gameplay video focuses on Sergeant William Kirby in his role as Fireteam Leader in a “Wild West”-style showdown in Tajikistan “where things are going to get a lot worse before they get better.”

Metal Slug originally hit the scene on the Neo-Geo in 1996. From there is has spawned versions of every major platform since. It’s never really had a breakout hit but the franchise has always been a reliably good one. Across so many years and so many different devices, this type of reliability is rare in this industry.

Dead Space hit this generation back in the fall of 2008 and was an instant classic. The combination of great atmosphere and interesting gameplay allowed it to easily stand above the other titles in its genre. Not even industry staples like Resident Evil and Silent Hill could dethrone it from the king of the horror genre. The game was made by Visceral Games, who previously worked on some big properties like James Bond and The Godfather but couldn’t quite break free of just good games. But now, after the release of Dead Space, they’re on top. Expectations are high and everyone’s salivating to get their hands on the next chapter of this promising franchise. Can they engineer another classic or was Issac a one-trick pony?

Total War: SHOGUN 2’s new multiplayer features revolutionise the Total War series, and this video highlights the engaging, dramatic and wholly-immersive experience Creative Assembly has crafted.
