The announcement of the title line-up for the next cycle was made at SEGA's Gamer's Day [Only registered users can see links. ], and the details of the titles were spilled to certain extent although not as comprehensive as you might hope. The big mystery title being developed with Gas Powered Games comes with even more minute details, keeping the specifics of the game as an "an original and as yet [Only registered users can see links. ]" coming for 2008.

Coming to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 is Condemned 2: Bloodshot from original franchise creators [Only registered users can see links. ] Productions. The game was mentioned to be coming with "an all-new fighting mechanic and online multiplayer functionality." It was also added that players will be able to engage in "visceral" combat using the usual firearms, blunt makeshift weapons and combination moves for defensive and offensive purposes.

Revamped with a few more Wii-specific features and game modes, the game will otherwise be coming with its original arcade feel and gameplay, for the casual and leisure gamer in you.

Universe at War: Earth Assault, which is currently headed for the PC, will also be making a debut on the Xbox 360 by the first quarter of 2008. The game pits planet Earth under siege by an insurmountable Alien force, and Xbox 360 RTS fans can rest assured that the game is being developed with "a control scheme built from the ground up to ensure smooth gameplay and ease of command for console gamers."
