A 360 launch title but still a great game from the guys who did the F.E.A.R. games. A FPS where you don’t just shoot people but you investigate as well – plus there are a bunch of creepy moments. The manequins still make me jump.
An indie game from the guys who did my favourite video game series – the Tex Murphy series. Go to www.bigfinishgames.com to purcahse. It’s for the PC only and is like a point and click game but you just match items on the screen to keywords.
Being on holidays I haven’t been able to keep you all updated on what’s happening in the gaming world – so why not put it all in one place.

Bioshock Infinite footage
2K has released the gameplay footage from the Bioshock Infinite E3 demonstration. It’s epic footage – definitely avoid though if you’re looking forward to the game. I still watched it. Enjoy.
Dishonored Announced
Bethesda has announced Dishonored but details of the game won’t be revealed until the August issue of Game Informer. It comes from Arkane Studios and is the first game made by them for Bethesda.
Burnout Crash
Not exactly the Burnout game I was hoping for but I’ll take it. It looks like a top-down game like the original Burnouts. It’s come as download only I believe to PSN and XBLA and is being developed by Criterion.
RAGE footage
Remember in the last Mailbox I threw in a video with some behind the scenes footage on RAGE? Here’s the next one – it shows some more footage and details on what RAGE is all about.
The Sims Medieval
EA has announced the last expansion The Sims Medieval: Pirates and Nobles. There’ll be treasure hunting, looting, pillaging and ale. Arrrr

Check out the latest LOTR trailer – good timing with the Blu-ray special editions out now. It’s a pretty epic trailer featuring footage from the films and a lot of decapitations. Two thumbs up.
Arkham City: Riddle Me This
Hot off the press – the latest Arkham City trailer featuring The Riddler. This game better not get delayed.
Have you watched the latest gameplay footage from Arkham City? What? No? Check it out here.
