Here we have the newly introduced Driving Force Wireless Wheel by Logitech, designed for the PlayStation 3. The 2.4GHz WiFi peripheral sports a wheel-mounted D-pad and buttons for comfortable control, and comes complete with an expandable lap rest for those who prefer gaming on the comfort of their couch or easy chair. The new Driving Force Wireless Wheel will be released this August and should give Grand Turismo fans a reason to fork over $99 for the purchase.
Set in the year 1945, this WWII stealth/action game can easily be referred to as Splinter Cell on estrogen. You play as MI6 agent Violette Summer whose character is based upon an actual woman by the name of Violette Szabo. Szabo, who acted as an allied secret agent during the war, was captured by the Germans and executed at the age of 23 while infiltrating a German base. The game's story plays out as Summer recalls events from her hospital bed that led to her abduction. Velvet Assassin may do what the History Channel does for WWII buffs, but those who love hiding in the shadows awaiting their next silent kill should find the game the most appealing. Watch for the game later this year on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.
While DC Universe Online was announced prior to E3, the developers waited until the conference to show off exactly what gamers can expect out of their new MMO whose massive world was stripped right from the comic books. Take a look at the debut trailer for DC Universe Online.
As we near the end of this preview article of some cool new games and extras that were announced this year at E3, I feel that it's time to unleash a few beasts. While the game in this next teaser has some big shoes to fill in order to reach said beast status, the game's title alone has the power to send gamers to their feet and have them cheering in the aisles. With that in mind, allow me to take a few steps back before telling you what it is. Ok, I think I'm good. Are you ready? I'll count to three. 1... 2... 3... Wolfenstein.
In an attempt to revitalize the classic series, id Software will once again take the wheel and explore the Nazi stronghold and supernatural elements that threaten to turn the tide of WWII. With no release date in sight, the resurgence of Wolfenstein has been confirmed for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.

Are there any features that the single player might be interested in?EddieTurner - Sunday, July 27, 2008 - link
Other than what looks like a kick-ass campaign, not really sure.0roo0roo - Sunday, July 27, 2008 - link
they are so phoney and annoying to watch, i wanted to turn away it was sickening. awful stuff, hire someone that won't appear to be a phoney to gamers and geeks.whatthehey - Sunday, July 27, 2008 - link
You knew it would be bad as soon as the one lady talks about "beating up on her boss". It's one thing to have the top management get up on stage and do a presentation and talk about how great the new hardware, software, etc. is going to be. To have them get up there and do a live demo of new hardware? On a Wii!? That's just asking for trouble.Hell, you don't see the execs at EA or any other major gaming company playing the games in their demonstrations. Nintendo should have figured that out. They have people in their booths that are "normal gamers" for a reason.

If Carmack isn't using OpenGL then OGL its pretty much dead in the commercial game rendering business. Shame too. Microsoft will never open DX. It's a cash cow for them.Pirks - Saturday, July 26, 2008 - link
Man, that's total bullsh1t. How can OGL die if PS3 uses it? Jeez... can't believe people can be sooo ignorantwhatthehey - Saturday, July 26, 2008 - link
As pointed out in the article, there is a Mac version of Rage that uses OpenGL, so for sure id isn't abandoning OpenGL. My bet is that the game uses DX9 equivalent fragment shaders (the OpenGL version of DX9 pixel and vertex shaders), just like the Doom 3 engine.Regs - Friday, July 25, 2008 - link
Im afraid this game is going to be another STALKER. When it comes out it will be drounded by other hot new releases with developers that are actually able to execute and launch with a specific dead line.And Empire Total War looks sweet! Though Feb 2009? :(
