===New Screenshots for Wargame:European Escalation released===
−
Electronic Arts has recently announced the launch date for FIFA Soccer 10.
+

−
The game will be available in retail stores starting from the 2nd of October and players will be able to choose from versions for PC, Xbox360, Playstation 3, PS2, PSP, Wii and Nintendo DS.

−
===PC version of Colin McRae: DiRT 2 delayed until December 2009===
 
−
According to its British publisher Codemasters, the PC version of the racing simulator [[Colin McRae: DiRT 2]] is going to be delayed until December.
 
  
−
The reason for the delay is the desire to add DirectX 11 features and improvements to the game, which will be available to any game using Windows 7 and a DirectX 11 compatible video card:
+
Set in the rarely explored period of 1975-1985, Wargame: European Escalation pits NATO (USA and Western Europe) against the Warsaw Pact (Soviet and Eastern European countries) in battles that explore "what could have been." The specter of nuclear warfare loomed large over the real Cold War, but this catastrophic outcome was the ultimate last resort as everyone knew that the first one to start nuclear hostilities would end up wiped out just the same. Large, armored offensives through Europe would certainly have been the core of this hypothetical war; and this is what the game's explosive campaign takes you through!
  
−
''"While the console editions of Colin McRae: DiRT 2 will retain their September ship date, we believe that the DirectX 11 feature set is too compelling to ignore, especially considering how much more it can add to the visual experience for PC gamers,"'' said Bryan Marshall, chief technical officer, Codemasters. ''"As a leader in digital racing entertainment, we are staying ahead of the pack by immediately taking advantage of key new technologies such as hardware tessellation, multi-threading and Shader Model 5.0 to deliver the most realistic, immersive and exhilarating racing experiences in the business. The fusion of DirectX 11 with Codemasters' EGO™ Engine will raise the technical bar considerably in the racing genre."''
+
The 5 screenshots released are showing the great capability of the graphics engine developed by Eugen Systems: Lighting, modelling, visual and sound effects, but also the size of the battlefields and number of units... all aimed at creating a grand visual showcase, while still providing a real depth to strategy. Battles are as impressive as there are profoundly tactical.
  
−
''"The shader performance of Shader Model 5.0 (SM 5.0) will aid in creating an even richer 3D experience, enhancing key image quality parameters such as depth of field, ambient occlusion and shadows. These DirectX 11 features, and many others, will add the horsepower needed to improve performance."''
+
The game will be released on PC in retail and online stores first quarter 2012.

Players will simply enable the option in the game's graphic settings and put on a pair of 3D Vision glasses for an immersive out-of-screen experience with the game's eye-popping graphics.

"Creating beautiful, highly intricate setting and characters was one of our goals from the beginning with Rise of Immortals" said Steve Wetherill, executive producer of the game. "But adding NVIDIA's 3D Vision technology on top of it provides a new level of immersion, and makes Rise of Immortals stand out among other MOBA-style games."
