The Art of Murder : FBI Confidential

The Art of Murder : FBI Confidential is basically a point and click game developed by City Interactive which has also developed games like Project Freedom, WWII: Pacific Heroes, and Wings of Honour previously.

The plot of The Art of Murder: FBI Confidential revolves around a rookie FBI agent named Nicole Bonnet. New York is witnessing a series of gruesome murders. Players have to play the game as Nicole and unfold the mystery to find out who is behind all these killings. Naturally the game has a dark and dingy storyline suitable for mature players only.

The Art of Murder: FBI Confidential keeps the player involved throughout the game with its excellent graphics and amazing sound effects. One has to constantly deal with puzzles and twists to crack the codes and advance in the game. It has got 20 in-game 3D characters, 100 puzzles, 15 main locations (200 pre-rendered images in total), and 5,000 dialogue lines.

Here are some of its pics:

 
  

   

Prince of Persia 2008 announced

Good news for all the Prince of Persia game enthusiasts (including me!). Ubisoft has finally made it official that it is working on another sequel of Prince of Persia series of games. The game is expected to hit the stores on 1 November 2008. The name of this installment is still unknown.

Surprisingly, the character of prince has once again been changed i.e. It is not the same prince whom we saw in The Two Thrones. Last time, the prince's character was changed after Prince of Persia : Sands of Time in Prince of Persia : Warrior Within. But no regrets, he still looks cool, tough and sturdy.

It is not yet clear as on which all platforms will the game be launched, I strongly feel that it won't be available on PS2 as most of the games these days are being built for the PS3. Who knows! All we can do is wait.

Meanwhile, check out the screenshots and wallpapers of the game:

Need for Speed Undercover coming!

Did you hear that?
Another NFS sequel is on its way. And this time it is called Need For Speed : Undercover.
Unlike previously, when almost every sequel took nearly 12 months to release, NFS Undercover will be given a 2 year development time. So, expect something worth waiting.

EA CEO John Riccitiello said "We were torturing a very talented group of people up in Vancouver, which makes it harder to be as innovative every year. So, I think we are going to get better from here," Riccitiello said. "Last summer we added head count and split the team in two, so now there are two teams on a 24 month cycle. And this is sort of their first 16 and-a-half month game...Because we didn't do it far enough ago to give us a full two year dev cycle."
