Sony dropped some screenshots from the upcoming Move edition of Heavy Rain. It looks like these will just be the equivalent of waggle instead of a button press, it doesn’t seem like they’ll be using the full range of motion the Move is supposed to offer, but that’s to be expected for a patch to an already released game.

Also, a small tidbit, but this is the first I’ve seen the trigger button on the Move controller referred to as the T button.

EA finally released some media for the Alice sequel Alice: Madeness Returns. It looks like the real deal, the same atmosphere and style with a modern graphical upgrade. The teaser trailer is short, but shows us that they won’t be holding back on the weird for the sake of grabbing the mainstream audience, This is a true sequel to a flawed classic of PC gaming.

SquareEnix Eidos have released some concept poster art for the next Hitman game (Hitman 5). It seems Agent 47 will get burned, or god puts a contract on Satan or something. Agent 47 looks a little to movie game friendly in this picture, but it is just a little promotional concept art.

The image also confirms that IO Interactive will continue to be the ones developing Hitman, so there should be no need to worry.

Fable III Boxart

Notice it features the “only on Xbox 360 AND Windows” stamp. Hopefully that means PC gamers will be able to get their hands on Fable 3, but more likely Microsoft just slipped up with the early box art.

From Peter Moore’s “blog”:

Looks like every other fucking football game in the history of fucking football games to me, but if you’re in to that sort shit there ya go. Click the shiny helmet for the full size image.

Fragile is looking really good, hopefully the gameplay does something interesting.

Many more screens and art here.

Ubisoft is once again proving that they have no idea what gamers want. First they turn the good natured hero Prince into the dark Prince, now just because he’s on the DS they have to turn him into the squatty little boy Prince.

From the PR:
Exclusively for Nintendo DS: Use the DS stylus to master the acrobatics, strategy and fighting tactics of the most agile warrior of all time.
Immerse yourself in the captivating Prince of Persia universe with an original and independent story that closely coincides with the action of the console & PC editions of the game.
Unique visual style: Brand-new art design delivers incredible environments in over 50+ maps. Explore deserted cities, dark labyrinths and forbidding jungles to battle the evil Corruption.
Play as the all-new character: the Magus: Switch between the Prince and this mysterious new ally to fight, solve puzzles and utilize his magical powers to make your way through the corrupted land.

The screen wouldn’t look half bad if the Prince didn’t look like a kid with his mommies scarf wrapped around his face.
