While no secret has been made of Trackmania 2's development, with its first reveal dating back to over a year ago, it has been a while since we have seen much about the game itself. In the original trailer we saw that the game was taking a more 'realistic' art design this time, but 110% keeping the same quality game play and absolutely mental jumps and track designs. This trailer revealed a little new information:

If your a fan of Trackmania - or any driving game for that matter - then on the 12th of May PC Gamer and EDGE magazine need to be bought as they are set to contain some in depth feature in each of them regarding Trackmania 2. The 30s trailer was great to see, and looks fantastic, so I certainly will be buying those magazines to see what Trackmania 2 has in store for us all!

To kick off Rush's coverage of SC2, what better way to do so than to do so with a brand new spanking tournament to follow? The much anticipated IGN Pro League is a North American league where 16 top tier players lock horns in a double elimination tournament, all with eyes on getting some of that $5000 prize pool.

Commentating the games is one of my favourite casters, TotalBiscuit, along with DJ Wheat, HD Starcraft, and LG Painuser. The matches begin today at 8pm EST, which is 1am GMT (on the 22nd). I'll probably be checking out the footage live, but rest assured I'll be checking up on the tournament and reviewing it as it goes along, and if I can get my hands on some replays will make the very first Rush TV casts!

Overall their are some great players in this tournament and it is hard to pick out a winner - so lets hope the matches produced represent the high skill level of the North American Starcraft scene. Full match and player line ups can be found over at http://www.ign.com/ipl

The following best of 3 matches lauchng the IPL tonight:

Operation Flashpoint Red River is released today, and is looking to be one pretty sweet tactical FPS experience.

The game developers have made a massive focus about squad play and co-op in all modes. The campaign is fully drop-in/drop-out co-operative play, as you lead Marine Fire Team Bravo through a fictional conflict in Tajikistan in 2013. Tajikistan itself has been rather beautifully recreated, and the engine for the game looks very smooth while providing great visuals. The multiplayer boasts 4 game modes, and rather than cut out parts of the single player campaign to re-use, they have made every map heavily influenced by a part of Tajikistan - so when you storm a village and rescue a hostage in Red River, it really is a realistic environment you are playing in.

Thanks to the kind people over at DICE we now have access to the full 12 minute video just released on the Facebook Page. If you have some spare time and even if you dont i suggest you make time to watch this eagerly anticipated Battlefield 3 Gameplay Video...

... And if you havent done so already head over to the Battlefield 3 Facebook fan page and help us to unlock the commentary video too.

A New Battlefield 3 video has emerged this time showing some previous footage edited in a different way but also base-jumping, jet-fighting, tank-battles, and a city on fire so with no further ado here is the Battlefield 3 Gameplay Debut.
