EA's next Burnout game takes the franchise into a whole new direction. Now, racers are able to roam anywhere they want in the massive Paradise City. With a simple press of a button, gamers can jump on the PSN and race against their friends. This is the first major PS3 game of the new year, and judging from the quality of the playable demo, this one is going to be a winner.

Capcom's new Devil May Cry game reminds us why we loved the franchise in the first place. Huge combos and flashy moves look great on the PS3. PlayStation fans can be happy knowing that the PS3 version includes extra functionality over the 360 version, and that it simply controls better using a PS3 controller.

Hopefully, the weapons you get access to will make hunting your foes (and dinosaurs) as fun as we're imagining it will be.

Although it's merely a sampling of the final game, it contains a huge number of cars and tracks that'll make any car enthusiast swoon. The hot new GT TV feature allows racing fans to catch programs never aired in the US. Watch for this on the PSN and at retail.

The original Condemned was one of Xbox 360's best launch titles. Although flawed, it had tons of great ideas. The sequel promises to make the fighting system even more robust, and the detective work a bit more engrossing. This creepy detective-brawler certainly adds a macabre flair to the beginning of the year.
