Duke Nukem Forever - June 14 on PS3, Xbox 360, & PC.

The first-person shooter sequel is 14 years in the making. Game development picked up by Gearbox Software (the masterminds behind Borderlands) will take Duke into the future with all the same explosions, gun fights, wise cracks, and strippers as the original. The plot is simple: aliens are invading earth and stealing all the hot babes, and to top it off, they drank your beer. Time to get locked and loaded to save the planet.

This open world action game is the sequel to the 2009 PS3 hit, InFAMOUS.

It is up to the player to decide how Cole controls the city: through peace or through fear.

L.A. Noire - May 17 on PS3 & Xbox 360

Noire offers a multitude of murder mysteries to solve using guns, cars, and most importantly, wits. The game showcases many new innovations in video game technology by how it shows emotion in characters' faces, voices, and actions. Dig deep into the seedy underbelly of the gangster ridden streets of Los Angeles, circa 1947.
