At long last there has been an update for Heavy Rain! This video from 1up.com (viewable here as well as right here)
I know it's more of an interview than an update, but this actually shows gameplay, and that is what I have been waiting almost a year for.
So, gameplay-wise it looks a much more advance versions of Fahrenheit's, but with the X,O,Square, Triangle buttons coming into play. Seems you have to keep a look out for them aswell not just look at the top of the screen and wait for them to appear.
Level design looks amazing, but really thats not much of a plus seeing as this is 3rd gen and is expected from most games now.
Still no talk of a release date, and David is still keeping his mouth wire shut about the story, (BTW does he sound less and less 'French' each time he does something like this?)

Decided to take a break from my revision, and this showed up on my youTube subscriptions.
Valve have released a new "Meet The..." video. But being the Spy, no-one is sure who the spy is. Try and guess who it is before it is revealed.
I really like Team Fortress 2, but sadly I only have the PS3 Orange Box version, which apparently will NEVER recieve the updates that the PC version get. I only got Orange Box because I didn't think my laptop could cope with it, but I recently got a copy of Half Life 2: Death Match and Garry's Mod off Steam, and they work quite well, so after the exams, (and when I'm in a place where the download speed is faster than 56Kb/s) I might get myself a copy.
Anyway, back to revision, I'll start again properly at the end of the week, and remember...
Spy Checking, It could save lives, and end theirs!
P.S. Speaking of Steam, add me if you like my ID is ThePhyonix

In a past post, Prepare For A Downpour, I spoke about my favourite game of all time, Fahrenhiet, and how it seemed to go amiss. I'd like to take some time to talk to you about this game.
Fahrenheit (or 'Indigo Prophecy' in the states) is set in present day New York City, in the middle of a cold snap. The opening scene shows a guy, Lucas Kane the games protaganist, sitting in a diner's bathroom stall, holding a knife, another person is in the bathroom, washing his hands. Lucas comes out of the stall and in a zombie like fashion, walks up to the victim and stabs him. Lucas then snaps out of his trance and realises what he has done. From there you have control of Lucas and the game starts. Using the games unique control system you clean up the crime scene and leave.
You play Fahrenhiet by moving Lucas (or the games other 3 characters) with the left stick and interact with object with the right stick. During the games many action sequences, you will play using one of three methods;
Two circles appear on screen representing the analogue sticks, you move the sticks in the direction indicated by the circles.
A bar will appear at the bottom of the screen, and you have to max it, by rapidly pressing R1 and L1.
A bar will appear at the bottom and a slider will start in the middle, you have to try and keep it there by pressing R1 and L1 to shift it right or left.
Fahrenhiet has Sims style mentality metre which measures the character's state of mind, and it is affected by you perfoming different actions, such as getting a drink will increase your mental stability, wereas hearing or seeing something bad will lower it.
The game is practically one long cut scene where you have some say in what happens, though you are raely left just watching the screen.
I recommend Fahrenheit to everyone, and when I do find another person who played it, they love it too.
N.B. I want to avoid using fan videos in 20something gamer, but this one was too good to not use.

One of my favourite games of all time has always been Quantic Dream's, Fahrenheit. It has its own unique style of play which I believe is in no other game, the story has more twists and turns than a roller coaster, and the graphics weren't bad either. Also due to its lack in popularity, the anti-video game patrol completely missed it, rated 15 with 2 sex scenes, Mass Effect haters, eat your heart out.
Many years have passed and I still LOVE that game, about half a year ago, Quantic Dream revealed Heavy Rain, and from what I have seen of it, it is going to be amazing, well... hopefully, seeing as what was shown in both of the Heavy Rain videos out there have been revealed as not going to be in the game, as to not spoil any of it, which is nice of them.
Heavy Rain has an updated and more advance control system than Fahrenheit, a more in-depth story and more paths to follow, rumour is that even killing your character is a path choice.
Not much at all is known of the games story, but if Fah' is anything to go by, it'll be awesome.
Due to be out later this year.
Even though it says "Actual Gameplay Footage", director David Cage has stated otherwise

Anyone who played the first Assassins Creed will know its one of the best games out there. Amazing graphics, brilliant game play (though it was kinda repetitive) and a really good story.
So here is the teaser trailer for Assassins Creed 2:
From what it shows I'd take a guess at saying it's going to be based in 15-16th century Italy, mainly because of the famous Leonardo Da Vinci painting at the end.
Nothing more to say about this one, except if its anything like the last game, its gonna be a winner.
UPDATE: Check out www.assassinscreed.com to see some awsome basic hologram messages (printer and webcam required), and on the website there is some scribbles, but in reverse, it says G(something)g Information 4/16/09, so check back then for an update.
