Before Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare changed things there was a third-person action title set in WWII and called Call of Duty: Devil's Brigade from X-Men: The Official Game developer Z-Axis.

[Posted 22 Feb 2012 by Svend Joscelyne]

Sony has provided some context as to why it went to great pains to make the PlayStation Vita so developer-friendly - because it's not been so easy to develop for the PlayStation 3.

Sony's got some swagger to go with that PlayStation Vita jagger.

Hitman Absolution - a more personal story. Apparently that's the case. So, the pre-emptive strikes have started in the lead-up to the game's April release with the first of the cast's trailers. They're not called 'trailers' though, they're called "International Contract Agency Files".

How do you reinvent the FPS? How do you tear down the visual and violent stereotypes that surround games like Doom, Quake and Call of Duty? Nadeo thinks it has the answer.
