Paul Meegan, President, LucasArts sums up the game–“Star Wars 1313 dives into a part of the Star Wars mythos that we’ve always known existed, but never had a chance to visit. We are committed to bringing the best gameplay experience and visual fidelity to life and I truly believe the work we are showcasing at E3 will speak for itself.”

You are taken to a densely populated planet called Coruscant where deep below the surface of the planet the gamer takes on the controls with exotic weapons. He must unearth the truth about the criminal conspiracy.

But for a couple of ‘double diamond’ stickers, including one on the blower fan, at first glance the two cards look no different. However, the Double Black Diamond 7870 is one step up over the original 7870 with an overclock of 50MHz to the GPU and 25MHz (200MHz GDDR5 effective.) It even produces much lesser amounts of heat than the 6970.

The only card the Double Black Diamond HD 7870 matches up to in its price range is the Radeon HD 6970. Even so, it just beats the 6970 in every test it is put to! Performance-wise it is great with most games. The core clock speeds could be increased by 19% over the reference card and the memory clock by 12%.

There are five distinct character classes in Diablo III through which players can play and gather items of power, special abilities and spells as they explore both the new and familiar parts of Sanctuary and enter combat with demons. The plot in Diablo III revolves around the Black Soulstone and the Lesser Evils and Belial. The world of Sanctuary is now very different ever since the destruction of World Stone in Diablo II and is now divided into two continents with many small islands.

The game is the next offering from Blizzard Entertainment. Like the previous game in the series, multiplayer gaming is facilitated here in Diablo III as well, and players can access this by going to battle.net. Via this, players can easily toggle between, drop out and come back into cooperative player sessions with others.

The game promises extremely varied and interesting experiences by way of an enhanced quest system that includes class-specific quests and main storyline quests, along with proposed random level and encounter generators; and all this is in addition to the static levels of the game.

The game is slated to be released on May 15, 2012, and promises endless engaging gameplay to its fans.

A game of courage and pure adrenalin, Max Payne 3 at first tends to surprise with its multiplayer experience, as Max Payne’s story is hinged on immense personal strife and tragedy which he endeavors to cope with. A single player style narrative with a multiplayer gaming experience—this game offers what would otherwise seem like a paradox, but the two work in great synergy to make the gamer want to come back for more. The game offers unmatched levels of customization and the user experiences a superb sense of control.

For the multiplayer experience, the game has a new mode called “Gang Wars, ” where the objectives are standard multiplayer type. However, the force is not on the story but to highlight the drama, as each round of challenges builds upon the story and achievements of the precious rounds. The objectives remain connected and a voiceover by Max himself ties it all together. These objectives border upon individualism and inter-dependence such that no one team can dominate the other.

The player is offered an extensive range of realistic and state of the art weaponry and sophisticated “Bullet-Time mechanics.” In addition to this, the player is enthralled by “bursts” which are special abilities that are unlocked as the player accumulates XP. You can fling yourself through the air and this enhances the multiplayer further.

This is one game that all Max Payne fans have been waiting for. For the yet to experience a Max Payne game—this is the right place to start your journey!

Vice President of Legacy Interactive, Steve Wall, says,

“We are thrilled to be bringing such an iconic title to North American retail…I have been a longtime fan of Remedy’s work. Max Payne was a true masterpiece and Alan Wake follows in its footsteps as a brilliant feat of storytelling and innovative gameplay.”

The story is along these lines—the bestselling author Alan Wake wants to get away from ‘writer’s block and goes off to a small town called Bright Falls. However, his wife goes missing and all of a sudden he finds himself living the story of a thriller he cannot even recall having written! There is a stalking Dark Presence in Bright Falls and in his search for his wife he finds himself pushed to the edge of reason and rationality.

Full of action-packed sequences and true TV series style suspense building, the game promises its players deeper and gradually intense levels with multiplying complexity in plots and situations. Though he must put to use a variety of weapons, it’s only the Fight With Light combat technique that can help!

The game comes with a set of customizable options like the “hide HUD” and lots of customizable graphics settings. With a high end graphics card like the AMD Radeon HD 7970 the game promises a thriller gaming experience like no other!

What is their final take on this awesome video graphics card? They love it, “…another great reference card …thanks so much to AMD who have been able to offer such a good base when it comes to performance and other areas like power draw. We’ve got little to complain about when it comes to the HD 7970 and this Diamond offering is no different.” In addition, they claim that the latest driver from AMD helps make the Diamond Radeon HD 7970 run better.
