EA released eight new images today from their highly-anticipated 2013 game "Crysis 3" and they were just too beautiful to keep to ourselves. The "Crysis" games have been praised for their incredible graphics and it looks like they have raised the bar yet again. In the game, Prophet has returned to New York City in 2047 to find that it's been turned into a futuristic combat arena and encased in something called a nanodome. Across seven distinct environments, Prophet must "Assess Adapt Attack" and fight his way to freedom. Check out the screenshots and see what is shaping up be one of next year's most interesting titles.

The hit action game "GoldenEye 007: Reloaded" is now available on the PlayStation Network for all your multiplayer needs. Updating the beloved Nintendo 64 game "GoldenEye" with new missions and Daniel Craig as the legendary James Bond, "GoldenEye 007: Reloaded" was a smash hit when it was released on disc last year. The game has not only been upgraded to 60 fps HD but features new missions that are supposedly based on the original screenplay for the hit Pierce Brosnan film. Players can use their controller or the PlayStation Move in single-player and multiplayer, which supports both 4-player split-screen action and 16-player online matches. The full game is now available on the PSN for $59.99.

Square Enix has released two episodes of "Final Fantasy XIII-2" that are now available on the PlayStation Network -- "Snow's Story: Perpetual Battlefield" and "Lightning's Story: Requiem of the Goddess" -- along with new White and Black Mage outfits and a DLC pack called "A Wondrous Wardrobe," which includes 16 new outfits for Mog. From the press release, it sounds like "Perpetual Battlefield" is combat heavy as Snow has been separated from Serah and must face the "Arbiter of Time" in a battle that can add Snow to the game as a party member. "Requiem of the Goddess" details the battle between Lightning and Caius that is not seen in the game. It features Lightning abilities only available in this DLC and is such a major part of the story that players are advised to complete "Final Fantasy XIII-2" before playing it. "Snow's Story: Perpetual Battlefield" costs $3.99, "Lightning's Story: Requiem of the Goddess" costs $4.99, and "A Wondrous Wardrobe" costs $2.99. All are available on the PSN now.

From the team that made "Warhawk" comes the unique follow-up, "Starhawk," released exclusively for the Sony PlayStation 3 on May 8, 2012. With an unexpected gameplay style that merges elements of "Borderlands," "Gears of War," and real-time strategy war games, "Starhawk" is one of the most unusual games of the season and its deep multiplayer mode is a smashing success. The solo campaign leaves something to be desired but the "more is more" approach that combines vehicle combat, aerial techniques, explosive weapons, and more into an incredible variety of online offerings could make "Starhawk" the game of the season for you.
