The Reticule: His names Michael Thorton and he used to be a spy, until one mission in Saudi Arabia. When youre burned youve got nothing; no cash, no credit, no job history. Youre stuck with whatever mission they left you with: revenge. Youll do whatever work comes your way to pay the bills, rely on anyone whos still talking to you: an Al-Samaad terrorist leader, a psychotic CIA agent, or maybe just a mole inside the organisation that burned you, if you can trust them.

Snake, Snake, Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake! was the cry you heard in Metal Gear Solid: Guns of The Patriots, but this time Raiden, the somewhat childish soldier in Sons Of Liberty, turned super ninja has taken the lead. Kojima has never disappointed gamers in the past and at E3 2010, Metal Gear Solid: Rising will begin its rise.

The momentum and hype thats now after Rising has been building for some time now. Ever since Raiden unexpectedly took the lead characters role in Sons of Liberty, every Metal Gear Solid fans have payed close attention to him. Some love Raiden and most hate him.

But is it really Raiden? Some clues point to something else.

Gamernode writes: “To say that Red Dead Redemption went through a rough development process would be an understatement. After grueling setbacks, delays, and the “Rockstar Spouse” debacle, gamers eagerly awaiting the Wild West game from Rockstar San Diego had every right to be worried. But whatever weight these issues actually held, RDR barely shows it; not only is it by far the best videogame set in the Wild West, it’s one of the year’s best titles, and one that represents what makes gaming great in the first place.”

Developer of Professor Layton series, Dragon Quest IX set to open US branch of operations in September, expansion to Europe set for next year.

Over the last couple of weeks, especially since the announcement of Respawn Entertainment, a number of senior members of Infinity Ward have left the studio. Notable resignations from the Modern Warfare development team include lead designer Todd Alderman, lead software engineer Frank Gigliotti, lead animator Mark Grigsby, lead character animator Paul Messerly, senior animator Bruce Ferriz, and programmer Jon Shiring - many of which have already joined Respawn. This loss of talent is a good sign because it sends a strong message to Activision’s executives that creative cannot be taken for granted without consequence. Hopefully this experience will humble Activision and change the relationship between management and creative at the publisher for the better.

With the embargo from this week’s Halo: Reach multiplayer beta event having now lifted new screenshots have been released to the press. As with any developing story however, greater insight into the game is perhaps offered by those candid moments – those not official sanctioned by the game’s published, but those taken on personal cameras, at moments not expected to be pictured by those holding the reins.

GamesRadar: Photos have been leaked of a prototype version of Project Natal - and they show a previously unknown feature. The Natal unit itself will feature a motorised tilt mechanism. But what could this be for? And what else do the pictures reveal? Let’s have a look.

You’ve heard the haters: "Halo never changes." Halo 2 was just Halo 1 moved online. And Halo 3 is just Halo 2 with slightly prettier graphics. And ODST is just Halo 3, minus Master Chief and plus a smoky saxophone solo.

While this complaint ignores some major, game-altering additions over the years – like Forge, Theater, Service Record and Firefight – you can’t say it’s entirely wrong. The basic Halo multiplayer formula hasn’t evolved that much since 2001, for better or worse.

Until now. Halo: Reach is different… in many ways, drastically so. Here are the 11 improvements that will shock and surprise you most when the online beta begins May 3.
