A whole bundle of brand new games has been announced over the past week.

Here at Leet Games Blog we won’t slip into a diving suit for just anyone. But with the release of Bioshock 2 comes the sound of rubber gloves snapping on, accompanied by the rusty shriek of a diving helmet being screwed into place.
We slid beneath the ocean waves and descended to Rapture once again. This is what we found.
Game wish list: Journalism
Posted by Liam Farrell on March 3rd, 2010 — Humour, Videogames, Weird games, Wish lists
This week’s game on our wish list: a video games journalism-based career simulator that’s mainly text based (not unlike football manager), taking the player through the highs and lows of being a games journalist.
Thankfully for us Visual Impact has answered our prayers and developed the latest in the Imagine Career games – Imagine Journalist.
Mass Effect 2 review
Posted by Roger Whitelock on February 26th, 2010 — Bioware, Gameplay footage, PC, Reviews, Software, Videogames, Xbox 360
Global warming. Economic meltdown. Cheryl Cole’s marriage. We live in difficult times. The joy of Mass Effect is being catapulted into a universe where humanities problems persist and yet we have prevailed, finally establishing ourselves among the stars.
The Milky Way is your playground in the Mass Effect games, and in Mass Effect 2 it’s richer and more diverse than ever before. Read on for our full review.
The “Game of The Film”
Posted by Adam White on February 24th, 2010 — Features, Films, Retro, Software, Videogames
It seems to us that when a game comes out to accompany a film, it does quite badly in the eyes of the gamers playing it.
The story and characters are never thought about enough, but then after all, that’s what the films are for right? We decided to take a look at some game adaptions and see why they were good.

Aliens vs. Predator: developer interview
Posted by Liam Farrell on February 22nd, 2010 — Developers, Interviews, PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Network, Sega, Survival Horror, Videogames, Xbox 360, Xbox Live
Aliens vs. Predator has just been released – a first person shooter which allows you to play as an alien, marine or a predator.
We caught up with Tim Jones, Aliens vs. Predator project leader and head of art and design for Rebellion, to chat about movie licences, multiplayer and why he plays as a predator…
‘Proper’ Sonic: game wish list

Yeah we know those Project Needlemouse teaser images hinted a return to form but we’re not taking any chances. So on the (likely) off chance that Sega has totally forgotten how to make a Sonic game, allow us to remind you.
Dante’s Inferno vs Dante Alighieri
Posted by Adam White on February 17th, 2010 — Videogames
Dante’s Inferno has only just been released so we thought we’d compare it to Dante Alighieri’s 14th century epic poem, which the game was based on.
“When I had journeyed half of our life’s way, I found myself within a shadowed forest.” The quote which begins the poem and the game. And that’s basically where the similarities end.
Fable 3 promises RPG revamp

Fable creator and legendary game designer Peter Molyneux has made lots more grand promises for Fable 3 – but will he deliver this time?
Planned additions include a complete levelling-up revamp, player-made weapons and an online item marketplace. Molyneux’s past achievements include Dungeon Keeper, Theme Park, Black & White and Populous.
