"Video game developers are always trying to come up with the new gameplay mechanic that will take the industry by storm, something that not only adds to the fun-factor but can be implemented in a way that it becomes revolutionary. Now just because developers are trying to accomplish this feat doesn't mean it always works; today we have a list of the top five video game features that never caught on. Some were just too good to be true, others were dead before they made it out of the test labs. ..."
"The premise of Fracture itself is where the attention has come from, and here it seems as though it is warranted. The player is giving the ability to manipulate the very ground you walk on; creating craters or small hills. The Terrain Deformation principle itself, given a little thought, is an incredibly empowering ideal for videogames, and throughout its demonstration Fracture has been seen to offer some interesting uses for the capability..."
"When it comes to reviewing games there is a rather dangerous temptation to give in to horrible puns, and I refuse to do so during this review, on pain of being made to play on a Virtual Boy all weekend. With that in mind lets get on with a look at Lucasarts contribution to the already crowded world of first person shooters, and falling into the equally well populated future shooter genre, rubbing shoulders with such titles as Halo 3 and Quake 4."
"Fracture depicts a world split between two warring sides: the Atlantic Alliance and the Republic of Pacifica. As a game, Fracture is also split two ways: it's simultaneously a very conventional third-person perspective shooter and an energetic action-puzzle game. It's a very awkward pairing, unfortunately."
Blend Games got the chance to preview Fracture, and they have kindly written up an article about the game. In Fracture, the U.S.A is at a conflict: While the world is slowly deteriorating, partly thanks to global warming, the East and West have different solutions to the problem. Soon enough, the Republic of Pacifica, the western group, turns crazy, and it's your job to stop them.
Throughout the game, you'll have special weapons at your disposal, which alters the terrain, as well as the ph...
"As you may know, Day 1 Studios' third-person perspective shooter Fracture will be hitting stores on October 7th. If you're not sure whether you'll enjoy a game that lets you shoot people and cause earthquakes, then you're in luck: a playable demo will hit Xbox Live and PSN in a week."
Courtesy of blog Wii @ Everyday comes the scans from the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu for this week, with new game announcements and more images of those known upcoming games.

"Lucas Arts has told CVG that a demo of Fracture will be released simultaneously on PSN and XBL in "August or September".
The third-person shooter takes a punt at innovation with a terrain deformation system that allows you to literally morph hills and craters into the ground using a gun called the Entrencher.
Lucas Arts told us that the demo would be the same as the version we played yesterday, which contained a tutorial stage leading into an action level in which you can try out all th..."
"There was always a sneaking suspicion that it’s really just about the guns. Yes, Fracture has a promising setting – a civil war between the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of America, fuelled by the western states’ exploitation of genetic manipulation – but it was clear even at first glance that the team had more fun designing ludicrous, noisy means of blowing one another up than working the flamboyant arsenal into some kind of sensible plot.
That certainly hasn’t changed – there are weap..."
