This is based on the excellent Ring of Fates gameplay, where player had to gather four players to experience the spell-mixing co-operative adventure at its best, but Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time is online across both platforms with action RPG team-based gameplay like Phantasy Star Online. You can hook them up in any combination – a DS and a Wii in one house, connected to a DS in a Wi-Fi hotspot somewhere else and another Wii on the other side of the world.
The fun will be in combining and synchronizing with other players. There is also a lot more customisation than in previous Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles titles and the promise of limitless post-completion dungeons to replay with your friends. And you won’t have to worry about missing out on features your friends are enjoying on differing systems: the graphics in the Wii and DS versions are almost identical. If you play on Wii you’ll even have the lower menu screen from the DS alongside the main playing area.

(Preview game X360) Chronicles of Riddick : Dark Athena
A new chapter in the Riddick chronicles from Atari is Assault on Dark Athena. Coming with definitely a previus game, with a brand-new story and multiplayer mode, as well a remade version of 2004's Escape from Butcher Bay as a bonus.
The new chapters will continues the story from Escape from Butcher Bay, with Riddick and the bounty hunter Johns in cryostasis, drifting through space. Their ship is eventually picked up by a pirate vessel (titular Dark Athena) and though Riddick manages to wake up in time, Johns' pod is infiltrated and he is taken prisoner. Hiding in the shadows, Riddick steals the captain's hairpin and is soon scouting the ship with nothing but the darkness and the hairpin as his weapons.
One of many new feature is, Riddick can now pick up dead bodies and manipulate them to fire. This is useful in a firefight. Atari also promises that Dark Athena will be much more focused on gunplay than Butcher Bay.
The visual game show excellent lighting and character modelling, particularly for main character, Vin Diesel's Riddick. So far we seen, the new chapter offers all of the elements that made the first game so amazing and enjoyable with new combat element.

In the game, player will start out guiding main character Will, the world's unluckiest cargo pilot, through a building interior that opens up onto an outdoor area.The gameplay has some very solid, though they could definitely use some tightening up and polishing, are blending well. Flight, a subject that the Airtight crew knows pretty well, feels especially good.
the action in this game also focused on the miniboss fight, Archon. The scorpion-like mech needed to be taken out methodically by targeting several weak spots. Once all hit, player had to guide Will onto the creature and engage in a minigame of death. The fatal (for the archon) game blended God of War-style button prompts along with analog stick waggling to take out the pilot, an advanced form of Watcher.
The controls an Xbox 360 controller, were serviceable but needed some tightening. The UFO controls made smart use of the dual analog sticks for 180-degree turns and fine turning. The visuals in the game is crisp resolution and high frame rate and the effects for weapon fire look good, There are some nice effects on hand for when you disintegrated enemies. So far we seen, Dark Void is definitely showing an encouraging amount of promise. Dark Void is hit the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 later this year.
